Duncan Stott has produced a brilliant little graphic which succinctly highlights how cost effective the Lib Dems are at fighting elections compared to Labour and the Tories using 2005 election figures and spending totals and relating it to how effectively the party would spend taxes:

    I might like to vote for someone who spends nearly 3 times as much as another winning my support!
