Election resources

1. The Guardian has a comprehensive guide to tactical voting if, like me, you trust Cameron's Tories as far as you could throw them.
2. Nick Clegg has gone on the record suggesting a possible LibDem/Tory coalition if Labour end up coming third. I'm sure that's actually a principled stance based on respecting the will of the electorate, and I'm sure Clegg thinks they could drag the Conservatives towards the middle ground. I just don't believe that's actually ever going to work.
3. Ben Goldacre appeals to us all to shore up Dr Evan Harris. Personally, I have a massive amount of respect for Dr Harris, and if I could vote for him, I would.
4. Newsnight's election anthems for the three main parties. Because sometimes you just have to laugh, else you'd decide it was time for the Guy Fawkes mask and the knives.

I'm currently moving between Labour and Lib-Dem and I can't decide which to go for :/

Definitly not Torie though. No way in blazes. Cameron is a slimebag.

In that case, I strongly recommend you check out the tactical voting guide. It should provide suggestions with which way to jump in your constituency in order to keep the slimebag out of power.
