I'm voting lib dem because Labour have had long enough to sort things out, and haven't, and if the conservatives get in, I will be out of a job when the current contract on the project I work in ends.

Plus I can't stand the Conservative MP i'd be voting back in here, even though his seat is safe and I am sure he will get back in, at least I can say I tried.

Based on recent polls and data we should be looking at a hung government, presumably with LibDems going for a coalition with the Tories.
If those numbers come to pass in reality, the Tories could avoid the Lib Dems altogether and form a coalition with a couple of 'minor' parties (DUP being a natural choice, for example).

Conservative gets my vote locally too - decent MP who is one of the few never to have flipped or claimed expenses on fripperies. Having said that, the local Lib Dem candidate isn't bad either.

In Portsmouth North, one person does not really have one vote, they have the equivalent of 0.919 votes
Not too bad - put in someone from Fareham and hers was 0.070

My vote is worth practically nothing,

http://www.voterpower.org.uk/maidstone-the-weald

although for some God forsaken reason people seemed to like Widders, I think the attitude towards Helen Grant, who used to be a Labour MP will be less favorable, plus we have had a massive well organised push for the local Lib Dem who has become a bit of a local hero.

We shall see what comes to pass, I voted on my way to work this morning, looking forward to the coverage tonight

I voted by post last weekend.

It'll be a bit difficult for me to watch much of the coverage as I'll be in Brussels tonight and, as per sodding usual, am having to make sure my colleagues get fed, watered and so on.

My vote, if I was home to use it, would be worth 0.115 of a vote. I dream of a day when the votes of every voter actually count. The system for the Scottish parliament may not be perfect but it's a damn sight better than the Westminster system.

Being on the rig, I'll miss the election coverage tonight too Pity, I usually enjoy sitting up to watch it

Devon Central is pretty good, we're worth 0.55. Tho it's saying something when half a vote is 'pretty good'. The more troubling thing is that it's a very strange constituency to be in - go half a mile north into Exeter or half a mile south along the coast and you're in a different constituency. We've got much more interest in Exeter and yet for some reason I'm lumped in the same constituency as most of Dartmoor.
