Others have said what I am thinking far more eloquently than I can

Silence is assent

pax_draconis on why you should go out and vote. Ian is spot on the money here and I agree with pretty much every word. Roll on a government that will reform the voting system.

With the same argument, amongst others and some good advice on how to go about achieving it, Once more with Feeling was The Guardian's leader column yesterday. A more cogently argued piece of analysis I haven't seen since Hugo Young died.

For myself, I'll be voting LibDem in a solid Labour seat. There's almost no way that Doug Naysmith can lose Bristol Northwest and he voted for the Iraq war, so I'll be voting to up the national total for reform.

Go vote tomorrow.

I would urge you to vote for the progressive agenda, for social justice, for reform of the electoral system.

I would suggest that you vote LibDem where they can beat either Tory or Labour. The Labour campaign is scaremongering when they say voting LibDem will let the Tory win - I think the electorate is sophisticated enough to see that's a danger in only a few seats.

Vote Labour where the LibDems cannot win, particularly if you have a Labour MP who opposed the war. For all its faults the current government is still preferable to Howard, the man peddling a policy that would have prevented his own parents entering the country had it been in place at the time.

Above all though, I urge you to vote.

And now you will find that there comes a time for making your mind up

And to help you do so (and also to banish the memory of Buck's Fizz), here are some sites.

Ask Aristotle
The Guardian's record of the past three elections, by constituency and by candidate. It also gives details of MP's voting records on the key issues.

More detailed information on voting records, a "loyalty/rebel" indicator and some "performance information for MPs in the last parliament.

Strategic Voter
A site aimed at those whose main aim is to "give Blair a bloody nose" and to object over the Iraq war. It has a secondary aim of trying to achieve a "balanced" parliament and does recommend voting Tory in certain areas to reduce the NuLabour majority.
