I'd be worried if you were okay with plotting murder! But politicians order deaths all the time. Doing it for personal gain is obviously unacceptable, but crucially, if it had all gone to plan, we wouldn't have known about it.
You do have a point about splitting the vote, although I'm never too sure how I feel about that argument. It effectively sticks us with no escape from the two party switcharound, and that's no fun when they both suck. The Liberals wouldn't have been splitting the vote back in 1979 though, as Labour were effectively out of the running. They were seen as basically unelectable for a long time, unfortunately. And then we got Blair. :(
