Next Thursday as a Commonwelth citizen living in the UK I get to vote in the UK General Election (in NZ we are not so accommodating to the mother country). I figure I have two choices, Labour or Lib Dem (there's no way I'm voting Tory). What I vote for may come down to whether or not I could still vote Labour even though they took the UK (and the world) to a war that was not justified. I'm not sure I see the war as a reason to not vote Labour, although I don't want a Labour victory to be seen as the electorate condoning the war.
But I struggle to see the difference between Labour and the Lib Dems on anything else.
Thoughts or persuasion anyone?

Crikey! I'm surprisingly Green. Not as green as I am Lib Dem.
It's as I thought, the older I've got the more communist I've got.
yeah, lib-dem! I'd register to vote but that would probably mean the city realizing that i haven't been paying council tax for the last 3 months... i know im going to have to when i move, but why incur any retroactive costs? And frankly, I don't feel my vote is worth the cost :P
Lib Dem, Tony doesn't need any more encouragement
