During the 2005 UK General Election and the 2006 local elections, we asked you to register a highly visible and damaging protest vote against Tony Blair, his style of government, his right-wing leanings, and his lies about the 'war' on terror and Iraq.

One last push

OK, aside from voting yourself on Thursday, you have one final task to perform - and this is probably the most important and yet the easiest thing you'll have been able to do during the entire campaign.

We need to counter Blair's lies, and get the message out that it is safe to vote against Labour - that there is no risk of a Tory government being formed after the election. We also need to remind people of why they should do this.

So your task for today is this - using some or all of the material below, send a series of emails to your friends and family (the more the better). As they are your friends and family and not ours, you're best placed to know what approach stands the best chance of influencing their vote, so we urge you to tailor your emails appropriately (if you know what constituency they are in, even better). However, if you're busy, cut and pasting from below and sending it to everyone at once is better than doing nothing.

It's official: Votes for Lib Dems will not let in Tories

Labour's attempts to warn its wavering supporters that a vote for the Liberal Democrats could allow Michael Howard into No. 10 "by the back door" was undermined yesterday in a detailed study carried out for The Independent. The study found that a swing of 11.5 per cent from Labour voters to the Liberal Democrats could deprive Mr Blair of his overall Commons majority but it would be virtually impossible for such defections - at even twice that rate - to let in the Conservatives to form a government.

Boundaries mean a close race will still leave Tories trailing:

Labour under the present system could win an overall parliamentary majority with a mere 29 per cent of the popular vote. The Conservatives would need at least 41 per cent of the vote, probably more, to win a similar majority.
