That’s the message from Nick Clegg to voters in an interview in today’s Independent on Sunday:
Nick Clegg makes a final appeal to voters today to seize the “once-in-a-generation chance” for real change to Britain’s unbalanced voting system by backing the Liberal Democrats on Thursday. … Mr Clegg, trying to cast the final week of campaigning as a two-horse race between his party and the Tories, claims that Gordon Brown has “written himself out of the script of change” and that the Labour Party is in a fight for its very existence. …
In a direct pitch to voters, he says: “Let’s not let this moment slip. Let’s not let this extraordinary once-in-a-generation opportunity go by. It doesn’t come along that often. There is the chance to resettle things in a new way. It is very unusual and I just don’t want people to be bamboozled or bullied or frightened by the other parties into saying they cannot take a chance on big change this time. That is the main message. Let us not squander this once-in-a-generation chance – because it is a once-in-a-generation chance.”

the message needs to be refined as – the more Lib Dem MP’s the stronger parliament will be, and for heavens sake show that shadow cabinet, that government in waiting at the same time.
This is major… everyman BrumPlum (cf. Stephen Fry and Twitter) is voting LibDem!
