Paul - by all means tell people to vote tactically because you want to avoid a Tory Government, but please stop acting like you're saying it to help the Lib Dems. We don't want that kind of help. Leave it to us to decide what's best for our party and how it can best achieve its goals. I actually agree with you for the most part about evaluating actions according to their likely consequences - but there are not only different assessments of what the likely consequences are, but also several different types of consequences to consider.
(And not that it really matters, but the last hung parliament was 1996-1997, when Major led a minority Tory Government - although 35 years is about right if you mean that 1974 was the last one that immediately followed a general election).
