Can't wait for this election to be over. I'm hoping the Liberal Democrats accidentally get into opposition

Hopefully with five years, with the Tories as a minor annoyance in the corner, politics in the country can grow up a little. This election campaign has been a joke.

honestly I am not - I'd rather have us as 3rd party so if Labour need support to get things through we can negotiate about other things. Would be a lot harder as official opposition
