Anyone following the general election news? Expecting a hung parliament? Hoping for a hung parliament? I thought it might be nice to have a discussion thread...

Barking terrifies me. I was appalled when we got BNP MEPs and I'm hoping against hope that we won't add BNP MPs to that list.

And yes, the two are very firmly linked. I am of the opinion that if someone doesn't vote, they're saying I don't care who gets in. It says "I don't care if it's Labour or the Lib Dems or the Tories that win", which is possibly the point they are trying to make by not voting. It also says "I don't care if it's the BNP", which I am not cool with.

I get people feeling frustrated with the choices they have but, for me, not voting at all sends the wrong message.
