Labour and the SNP will do just fine oh and the Tories don't do stunts, ask the people who have to use food banks!

Well at least now they're being honest of a Labour/SNP stitch up. I'm not sure the 55M people in England will be too pleased though.........

Just like pro Europe Clegg can't wait to back DC on a EU Referenndum to get his position in Government back!

I don't really understand the snp. They want to leave the uk and be independent. But then they want to join the EU?

An opportunity to make calls for themselves, one of which is to remain in the EU and benefit from all the positives that brings. I don't really understand the question?

What stitch up would that be Pete?
It sounds to me as though you think the only people entitled to representation at Westminster are the English.

No mate. I think we should all be properly represented. The Scots and Welsh are over represented......

Your party had an opportunity to change that last parliament. Can't complain now that it doesn't suit. Got to play to the rules.

It just seems rather contradictory. We want our independence! Then we'll sign it away again!

Pathetic isn't it? The LDs need to get shot of the fella pretty sharpish. He's not what their party members signed up for.

Had to represent SNP for the mock elections, and having read into and around their manifesto, I really hope they prop up Labour. Some really good policies, a progressive party I am onside with.

To be honest, as a young voter, anything to see the back of Cameron and Clegg.

The economy is but a means to an end - which is people. Therefore, the idea of sacrificing the welfare of people, or cuts as we call them, in order to support a better economy, which will hopefully see a better welfare of people, is as nonsensical as going to war to prevent war.

Such wisdom in one so young.

Do you see the likes of Germany and France as independent nations?

Surely they can't be over represented, is it not just a mathematical formula for the number of MPs per head of population.

Not properly no. Neither is Britain.

+ or - 5% I think. Might be wrong.

The permanent secretary to the Treasury, Sir Nicholas Macpherson, has argued that the 2008 financial crisis was “a banking crisis pure and simple”, contradicting Conservative claims that it was caused by Labour overspending.
