Why I'll vote Lib Dem, by Tariq Ali

Tariq Ali writes "Punish the warmongers: vote Lib Dem" in Red Pepper. It appears next to an article with a title he'd have done well to remember: "The government always gets in"

This is from  http://redpepper.blogs.com/

60s radical... anti-imperialist... revolutionary... Lib Dem voter? Tariq Ali explains the logic of his electoral choice in this month's Red Pepper: "Treat this election as special and take the politics of the anti-war front into the electoral arena. Vote Lib Dem. A hung parliament or a tiny Blair majority will be seen as a victory for our side." Ali also warns that "it is possible that in some constituencies the Green/Respect vote could ensure the return of a warmonger."
