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.

ETA: Charlie Brooker mocks the candidates' public personae mercilessly here. Go him.
