The 2015 Popularity Contest (aka UK General Election )

[Seanjd]

Oh dear. This is just reaffirming that the Lib Dems have basically gone full on kamikaze and secured a Tory win by going into coalition with them in 2010. Their seats will be cut dramatically, their percentage swing is dismal, and their votes are largely being shared out in favour of the Tories. This is incredibly depressing.

Kinnock the only one speaking his mind, I knows he retired like, but wouldn't mind seeing a few more go on the attack, especially towards the media

Nice to see the public funded windbag getting his son onto the payroll.........

I believe the SNP effect has robbed Labour of any chance in this election by strengthening the Conservative vote........

Exactly right. That's what I mean by handing the Tories the keys. The irony is massive, and if I were Labour I'd be ramming it down Scottish throats for the next five years - they self harmed themselves through nationalism.

 

[Mrk]

The only question now is if it's a Tory majority.

I'm not sure about that just yet, there's a lot of tight results to come.

 

[peteblue]

Typical Tory attitude to the invisible poor - "who cares what they think..."

What does the invisible poor have to do with Labour, they created them......

Labour, LD and SNP combo. Proper meaty sandwich that!! COME ON YOUR LABOURITES!

 

[Tubey]

It's an election reaffirming just how short-termist the decision to go into coalition was by the Lib Dems. They sold out every single bit of their identity to the point where they're an absolute nothing party now. What do you vote for them for exactly? If you want Labour, you vote Labour, and if you want the Tories, you vote Tory. Saying you're a halfway house between the two does absolutely nothing.

Nearly. Labour harmed themselves in creating nationalist blocs........

It's definitely a possibility now, even the most optimistic of Tory strategist wouldn't have thought that was on the cards.

Tory majority a real possibility right now.

Nonsense.

They've got what they deserved. Clegg is an abomination, he's completely killed the party.

 

[Khalekan]

As I said, who cares......

Well you must care or you wouldn't be making such banal "contributions" on a thread about the election

 

[TX Bill]

So....what's going on in the UK right now? Election time?

 

[Mrk]

Oh absolutely, on what we've seen so far, this is way beyond their wildest dreams. I'm still a little cautious though.
