It's time to talk about the election once more after a week of listening and watching the seeming eruption of support for and interest in, the Lib Dems. In the past the Lib Dems have always added to the debate but without any hope of having any significant impact on the outcome. But there is a distinct feeling that this time could be different. It looks more and more likely that they will have enough seats to make a difference on 6th May and it will be fascinating to see how the Labour and Tory parties respond. Are they able to stop the bandwagon or will they have to join it? If the Lib Dems do hold the balance of power, this could be the last time we have the existing electoral system and it could be the end of one party dominating a Parliament for ever! That is quite a moment in history. People will be asking, 'Where were you when the political system was changed for ever?' I'll be up all night watching it!

This is an opportunity to be involved, to make a difference, to make the cross count.
