The 2015 Popularity Contest (aka UK General Election )

In politics nobody has a balanced opinion I feel.

Yes but harder questions than DC got - DC was allowed too much dodging going by the host Dimbleby!

Tory canvassers for Esther Mcvey came a knocking today - let them get wet on the doorstep. Got a letter from Cameron today burbling on about Scots Nats and importance of the marginal constituency. I've had nothing from Labour yet.

Labour are just taking you for granted mate, if I were you I'd vote Conservative just to show them.........

If you believe that you'll believe anything.

Both the Tories and Labour have been subject to press attacks in the run up to elections in the past several decades, and even in '92 when it was particularly nasty, I don't think it had any real effect at all. I don't think the press has as much sway on elections as they would like to think.

Nobody see's a Mail attack on Labour and thinks "Oh, I must vote Labour now!" and similarly nobody see's a Mirror attack on the Tories and thinks the same.

Exactly, who reads the mirror anyway........

Yep tired

I've been the pub mate, I understand.......

I didn't know he did that........man of the people........

 

[daylightrobber]

You saying he's gay.........

I seem to remember some kind of conscious coupling with a dude, in a rose garden about 5 years ago. It's been the other fella taking it from behind ever since.

I'm one of the lumpenproletariat ; we're always taken for granted.

Election Forecast (Newsnight's pollsters) have updated their seat prediction (previous prediction in brackets):

CON 278 (280)
LAB 271 (269)

Anything like that gives the centre-left bloc easily the numbers to force Cameron out.

Surely...

 

[davek]

Surely...

Ha Ha. Don't torture yourself mate.

I think the good news to bank already is that at the very least the Tories are headed in the direction of sharing power with a lot of flaky people. Governing for them will be like trying to herd cats. And you never know, A progressive bloc might well make that forecast above a reality.

Swingback though...bound to happen.

Yes.

I see the Green Party leader is in favour of 3 way marriages.

Good grief, one wife is enough. And I can categorically assure you that such matters are not on the Loony manifesto.

Vote Loony

Sadly, the S*n is rarely on the losing horse. Its readership are thick enough to believe any old claptrap.
