Political journalists have certainly been doing their job. We have important facts of Gordon Brown of where he went to school, how many bananas he eats a day (nine) and which of his eyes are made of glass, but now information for the first time is oozing into papers about this “new” man. It is embarrassing to see that first time facts of Mr Clegg are being published two weeks from the elections! Does it only take two weeks for people to decide whether they like this man or not? We know his father is half Russian with a Dutch Mother and a Spanish Wife with a list of three children all with Spanish names – great journalistic research there, you really are a credit to society.

Mr Clegg has been referenced to Barack Obama in their parallel inexperience in politics and people may use the buzzwords of ‘fresh’ and ‘exciting’, but I would like to point out at the welfare war played against the conservatives and specifically David Cameron who was mocked for achieving at Eton whilst in the same way Mr Clegg studied at Westminster, but nobody puts him down? I’m not saying they should, they should in fact be praised for their excellent institutions that they were part of and furthermore they both went on to Oxbridge to read there.

In my honest opinion, I truly believe that Mr Cameron, despite his desperate nature and his over-blushed face in times of confrontation, is the best leader for our nation. Too often, when analyzing policies we look at how they would benefit us, be it tax rates, pensions, student fees et cetera. This is because we are always a fan of someone and that animalistic selfish behavior throws a smokescreen in front of our rational minds. I think, with the current situation of Britain, which is a growing internal racist population, no confidence in the economy and lack of family values, conservative policies fit the solution to solve Britain.

I personally do not benefit from any of the conservative policies such as (deep breath) their family tax break as I am not married, their increased budget on the NHS as I have private health care, their new policies on schools having more power as I am in higher education and went to a public school anyway, or their inheritance tax limit. However, these policies, in my opinion, are the best for this country at this time and that I believe is what people have failed to see in that they look at policies through their eyes of today and not the country’s eyes of tomorrow.

On the other hand, many have slotted themselves as the ideal person to benefit from the Liberal Democrat policies such as the £10,000 income tax allowance which is a great policy but would be offset by a tax on airplanes. Some more ambitious, such as pulling out of Afghanistan in a given time, which is the worst foreign affairs policy to date and to dig them deeper, their immigration policy which allows illegal immigrants to work legally in this country. Some critics have realized these awful policies but the public haven’t. The elephant in the room like question is, can a new party, who have all these outrageous policies actually deliver if they were to come into power?

Despite all this, I propose an experiment. I do like to think of myself as a bit of a scientist so these are my aims. My experiment outlines that in the political game, the public mass vote for the Liberal Democrats. This will as a result, increase their number of seats in parliament and hopefully reduce the number of labour seats because they have way too many and (ideally) the conservative party become victorious. In future, when the Liberal Democrat’s policies are right for the country at that time, which I don’t think is now, they will have enough of a majority in parliament to win the next election and come into power.

If you would like to participate in my experiment, in the name of science, say nothing, but vote on 6th with a tick in the Liberal Democrat’s  box and our results will come through on whether a new party can deliver all its promises.
