Incumbent Prime Minister: Edward Heath (Con)

Standings at dissolution

Conservative: 330 seats
Labour: 269 seats
Liberal: 6 seats
Other: 14 seats

I am voting Liberal again. Ted Heath hasn't fixed the economy, abandoned the Selsdon manifesto at the first hint of unpopularity, cowered in the face of lawless unions, and caused severe damage to Anglo-American and US-Commonwealth relations. Thank goodness there is an upcoming referendum on the EEC, and I will be joining many in both parties in voting NO. Harold Wilson helped create this mess in domestic policy, and if the Tories can't stand up to the unions, there's zero chance of Labour doing so. Therefore I'm voting for Mr Thorpe's Liberals, who might have a solution to our woes. We need a choice in Britain, not faint echoes, which is the case for both major parties in Parliament right now.
