The establishment parties have been playing bait-and-switch for a long time.
A big issue in 2010, maybe not election-deciding but nonetheless important, will be the EU. Barely anyone wants a European superstate, but many are not aware of the seriousness of this threat and how it fits into a larger agenda of global governance.
The Conservatives have provided little substantative opposition to the Labour government. Yes, David 'greencon' Cameron makes a lot of noise in the HoC, but often over more superficial things such as an MPs tax funded conservatory or whatever.
One criticism that actually got me to pay attention, was to do with the lack of a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, the rehash of the EU Constitution that was voted down by several countries. Cameron promised a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. I hereby predict that will never come to pass, regardless of whether Labour or Conservative 'leadership' is the result of the next election.
If you really want to do something about the EU (ie leave it) then I would recommend you don't fall for the 'mainstream' bait. Start looking at parties other than the main three.
