I became a floating voter UNLESS it meant risking letting a Tory getting elected in any of our local seats (my floating vote later meant I voted for a Lib Dem who empowered the Tory coalition government, so that worked out well).

My early disillusion did mean I was a whole lot less conflicted when Iraq came around. Luckily, the issue of a Tory being a serious threat in our seats doesn't come up very often.
