Scarily the You/Gov Sun Poll published on Sunday suggests 54% of those polled would support Electoral Reform, to counter the taboo that a potential "Hung Parliament" has become. Any potential reform whether it be Alternative Voting as a a method or Proportional Representation would just further fragment British Governance making it far more difficult for a party to form a workable majority. If the electorate want to embrace change then a hung parliament would be a perfect demonstration of things to come, rather than something to shy away from.
The aforementioned Poll also suggests that 33% of those polled intended to vote Lib Dem but a number of Lib Dem policies were vehemently opposed on the same survey for example some of the Lib Dems policies on Europe were opposed by 66% of those polled! This further suggests that people are willing to vote Lib Dem without really understanding their policies.
