Who's voting for REAL change with the Liberal Democrats today?

John CleeseJOHN CLEESE: "I hear that a vote for the Lib Dems is a wasted vote. I disagree I think that a vote for the Lib Dems will send a breath of fresh air through the third rate, inefficient and corrupt world of British politics. Some waste eh?"

Colin FirthCOLIN FIRTH: "As a once committed Labour voter I, like so many, have been appalled by the abandonment of the values they advocated while in opposition. For me, their conduct on asylum alone is reason enough never to be able to contemplate voting for them again.

"Those who, like me, have despaired of political alternatives, should take a second look. I believe they could open a space for real dialogue, where values of compassion and tolerance take centre ground."

BIANCA JAGGER: "For those of us who firmly believe in human rights, the rule of law, and the protection of the environment, the Liberal Democrats are the only party who can be trusted. They were the only major political party to oppose the war in Iraq, and they are still the only party committed to a full public inquiry into allegations of British complicity in torture.

"Nick Clegg is the only leader willing to challenge Labour and Conservative commitment to renewing Trident and the use of nuclear power. He has consistently spoken out for our civil liberties and human rights. That is why Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrat party have my full support."
