The reason most people are bored with elections is because pretty much all the parties are either very much the same (Labour, Tories) or crazy radicals with little or no hope of getting any significant proportion of the votes (BNP, Green). I'm not really an economist, but this looks to me very much like an example of Hotelling's Law. Sadly, this means we're getting closer and closer to the way of American politics, with a bipartisan system where both parties are nigh-on exactly the same.
Edit: I'll be voting Lib Dem purely because I agree with their policies more than I do any other party. Tactical voting merely encourages monopolies.
