Who gets my vote?

I have always voted ever since I was old enough to put my "X" on the form. In addition I have always known whom I would vote for in a General Election, that is until the forthcoming election. For once I have no idea who to vote for? I, like a good many other people, have been sickened by the ongoing expenses row in which numerous MPs have climbed onto the gravy train and have exploited the system. There has been many instances whereby MPs have "employed" several members of their own family, even though the family members did nothing to justify the salary they were paid. So when I hear an MP complaining about the money they are paid is not enough I get rather annoyed. They fail to tell you that each member gets paid a salary most of us would dream of, so when you total up how much actual money goes into the MP's household, it's a totally different picture. Admittedly my complaint is not against the many hard working MPs who do a very good job, it's aimed at the ones who have milked the system far too long and hopefully will receive their just desserts in a few months time. That still begs the question of which party do I vote for? To me Labour, as well as having the most uncharismatic leader for a long time, have run out of steam and ideas. The Conservatives too, do not instill any convidence in me to trust them with my vote. The Lib Dems, well if I thought they could muster enough national votes to form a government I might be tempted to give them a try. Let's face it they cannot be any worse than the other two or could they? The danger this apathy I and others are feeling could leave the way open to the extremist parties getting a further foothold. I will definitely vote so that my voice is not totally lost, but not for an MP who I think is not worthy of the previledge of representing me.
