I'm with htfb on this: a knob will carry on being a knob (unless he's the sort of knob who just toes the party line, which it doesn't sound like he is). I'm fairly firmly Lib Dem but I wouldn't be able to bring myself to vote for e.g. this idiot (http://skeptical-voter.org/wiki/index.php?title=David_Ord) unless the only alternative was a loony party like UKIP. Fortunately our Lib Dem candidate seems to be a decent chap, even if he isn't quite as awesome as Dr Evan Harris over in Oxford West. ;)
I totally know what you mean about the Greens, but their non-environmental policies seem to be getting better - their science policies (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/apr/29/green-party-science-policy) are a lot more convincing than they have been in the past, and I like some of their other ideas (eg the Citizens' Income [PDF, sorry] (http://policy.greenparty.org.uk/policypointers/ppcitizensincome.pdf) sounds great in theory).
If you want to see leaflets that have been delivered in your constituency, have a look on The Straight Choice (http://www.thestraightchoice.org/constituencies/lancaster_and_fleetwood) (and if you get any that aren't already there, please scan them and add them to the site if you can!).
