The bottom line is none of the main political parties are going to address the rank corporatism that masquerades as Capitalism and none of them are going to tackle the causes of the inevitable boom-bust cycles in house prices. The only party that really reflects to any significant degree my personal convictions is the fledgling Libertarian Party who aren't fielding many candidates. Many years ago I was a paid up 'Young Conservative' but cannot see myself voting for them in the forseeable future. There are odd policies across the board which I support like tripartite education from UKIP, state funded independent schools from the Tories, Liberal Democrat drug policy reform but none which make that vote a compelling choice.
So it's tactical voting for me and in one of the safest Labour seats in London, the only vague hope of ousting Harriet Harman would be a limp dim vote. Though I abhor their quasi egalitarianism, multi-culti pieties and *some* of their taxation policies, to be fair to them they would level the disparity between Capital Gains tax and income tax and then there is Saint Vince who, despite his recent lapses in supporting home owner bail-outs, remains the most mentally stable of all the three party's money men.
Given the possibilities, I think I would be least unhappy with a hung parliament with the Tories forming a minority government alone. As a side-show, I would like to see Bercow lose his seat to Farage which I think would send an important message to team Cameron which with a minority government would have to tread very carefully anyway with proposed legislation.
