The date has now been confirmed at long last as May 6th.
Going to be the tightest election since before Labour came to power, probably the first election I imagine a good number of people here will participate in that won't be an easy Labour win.
At the moment we're heading towards a hung parliament (no party has a clear majority meaning they don't have the power to act by themselves), which has the downside of a potentially indecisive government but will also give disproportionate power to the smaller parties (in particular Lib Dems but also the SNP).
Keep the debate civil please
I'm torn between Tories and Lib Dems (an odd position to be in). I think the Tories would get rid of a lot of bureaucracy that has infected the Government but I don't trust them to repeal some of the draconian legislation introduced under Labour.
Lib Dems would likely get rid of laws if they had enough power but I simply don't think they could actually run a government. Too many of their key policies are reactionary. Just look at their election slogan: "Change that works for you. Building a fairer Britain" it's basically the Labour and Tory slogan mixed together.
