I’m not going to claim to know everything about politics because, quite frankly, I don’t. However, there’s something about the Election that’s sparked up an interest. It’s left me reading newspapers, watching the news and occasionally refreshing BBC’s excellent online coverage.

As someone who’s never voted before, I’m enjoying the whole floating around between parties while discovering their policies. Luckily thanks to the internet – you might have heard of it – I can take a couple of quizzes or browse through their websites to quickly find someone suitable to vote for.

With that said I’m still in two minds. I’ve always been told to vote Labour but a few things, like war and the economy, they’ve gotten wrong, while the Lib Dem views on those areas kind of line up with mine. However, then I’ve got to consider would a Lib Dem vote be a wasted one but I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking that. Maybe if all those floating Labour votes just bit the bullet and voted Lib Dem, we would have a surprise result on our hands. But maybe this is just me rooting for the underdog again.

I’ll probably make a clearer and more coherent post come Thursday. Hopefully with some actual thought and decision behind it.
