  The actual ballot does tend to have a sobering effect though Bern. People will see that there is a simple choice, a Labour Government or a Conservative one. Those who no longer want Labour to misgovern will congregate around the Conservatives.
  
  What drives how people vote is not necessarily what drives those of us who are outspoken and firmly opinionated. Most people do not vote based on policy but more on instinct and it is the negative instincts of what they dont want that is the most powerful. People also know that in a democracy you need politicians, a rather sad fact of life. Anyone, in fact, who enters the electoral arena is by definition a politician and they know full well that the only reason minor Parties are not tainted by the expenses row is because they dont have MPs. If they did they would be tainted just the same, proportionally just as many would have their hands in the till. People are not stupid, they know this.
  
  Incidentally - we have seen my point above proven with the UKIP MEP expenses scandal.
