Polls on Friday: Harris:Conservative 37%(no change), Labour 27% (-1), Liberal Democrats 22% (+2) Yougov:Conservative 37%(no change), Labour 30% (-1), Liberal Democrats 20% (+2) Current projected outcome: Conservatives largest party, but 21 seats short of majority. Would almost certainly end up Conservative/Ulster/Liberal coalition. Picture is the 2005 result. A few seats have changed hands since then, and there are new boundaries in some places....but pretty good guide. [image]local://upfiles/347591/90E040E370744B1B8753A97281F04ACB.gif[/image]

GOOD, it will be something different at least. If we get the same ole same ole crap as in the past, red, blue, red, blue ad finitum, nothing would have changed, nothing will change, we will be just as ever stuck chasing our tail, locked into the same bullshit we have always had. New broom required, maybe to move forward, the country needs to ditch the old parties and listen to new ideas. Give someone else a chance to be heard.

you have a three party system (plus some odd nutters) and so you have a little more ability to cull the cows than we over here in yankee land. We hope that your folks will take the message to Garcia, that the same old shit dont cut it, and we want somewhere in the big middle and maybe in another 50 years we can come to that conclusion, when written by some famous man our side, who, while researching the obscure and arcane histories will come upon this very fundamental and glaringly obvious fact. How was that for gov speak?

If the SNP were to put up a candidate in my neck of the woods I'd probably vote for them. Don't like the look of Plaid Cymru or the Ulster Unionists, though.

SNP standing in Stoke, that'd put the wind up English Democrats. Latest poll:cons 37, lab 31, lib 20. All to play for.

New election, same old lies.

http://voteforpolicies.org.uk/ A interesting waste of 5 minutes, perhaps even for non-brits. Pic is my resutls....Greens was 'Crime'...not so sure they'd approve of my ideas in reality. [image]local://upfiles/347591/8176BC2D1D5849D4826BC1F4E33DB232.jpg[/image]

The word conservative shortened to cons says it all really, they are out to con us.

I've missed the boat with this election, but maybe I'll write to them and ask if they'd like me to stand for the next one. (And sadly, they'll elect anybody in Stoke: the fucking BNP have four bloody councillors here, and their only MEP is from a Stoke ward. Even more embarrassing than those EDL twats wrecking Hanley's weekend the other month...)

Well - when we say "hung" Can I still deep thoat em?

Moonhead -> RE: 26 days to UK General Election:Still on target for hung parliament. (4/12/2010 4:16:10 PM)
Different usage, old chap: a hung parliament is one where no party has a clear majority, so two factions are forced into an uneasy shotgun marriage in order to keep the other faction out. I'd be pretty keen on stringing the whole lot up by the neck as well, to be honest. That Guido Fawkes had the right idea.

Though David Cameron clearly has an arm like a baby's cock...

Unlike Labour, who only today trotted out previous election pledges that they didnt deliver on. Yes, I am aware of what they pledged, but did not deliver on, didn't even try, just shoved them to the back of the drawer hoping no one will notice, but then new labour have been likened to conservative in their policies, they learned to con us probably from the best, the cons. Conservative always used to be middle class and above, white collar, labour always used to be working class, blue collar, but times have changed the old class divisions are largely obsolete, perhaps in the same way labour and conservative appear to be, which would explain their scrabbling to appear to be what we need. I feel both parties are wrong, they have lost it,a majority voting for either will result in much the same party, just like what we have just suffered. We need fresh ideas and new approaches, an end to the first past the post system, and an end to the bullshit heckling and political point scoring of prime ministers questions, what happens when the parliament sits, is pathetic, more like an old boys club than a government. The whole thing needs shaking up.
