Major won by 20 seats . 2010's exit poll was just about spot on though! I read today that the opinion polls are often wrong because a lot of Tory voters don't let on who they will vote for. We were led to believe both parties were on 34%, they were obviously wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be honest Bill, so many people I have spoken to just don't believe that Millipede would not do a deal with Sturgeon. You hated Thatcher, well I hate Salmond & his party. Neutrals have been voting AGAINST SNP in England (ie against Labour) in addition to traditional Conservatives like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Not good from my point of view, but that's demoracy. The democracy angle will roll on for months, as the SNP will rightly say Scotland voted overwhelmingly against the Conservative government. Another referendum on the cards?

Yeah, everyone else's fault. The same tired mantra of the left. Face it, a badly trained chimp would be a more attractive PM than Ed Miliband. It just goes to show some people will vote for anything as long as it's wearing a red rosette. If Labour and its trade union masters are sensible, Andy Burnham will be their next leader.

The Gasbuster Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Cons + LD's might do the job. Anyway, cheers from Italy and best wishes for our green and pleasant land. That would be a safe bet that would be more appealing to the majority. With only 10 MP's Clegg would be on the back foot. IF (and I mean IF this happens - I am not going to do a Darrell Clarke sing song) if I was Cameron I would tell him we are withdrawing from European Court of Human Rights - and that is a red line.

If Labour and its trade union masters are sensible, Andy Burnham will be their next leader. He's electable. You'd have got the same year-long campaign of lies, scare stories and smears from the Tories and their media cheerleaders whoever was Labour's leader. I'm a City fan, I can take disappointment. It does never cease to amaze me though how the party of the few continues to pull the wool over the eyes of the bovine many. The only thing that is a cheery note for me is that (if the Sky/BBC exit poll is correct) a government with a majority of two is unlikely to be in power for long and will have to curb its excesses to avoid losing by-elections. The Lib Dems have seen how toxic the Tories are for them and won't agree to a European election. Can't see a renewed alliance there. It'll be DUP and possibly the UKIP two as partners. An unstable coalition if ever there was. The DUP has moved on from its Ulster Says No To Everything In A Shouty Voice past and is actually vaguely left-wing in its economic outlook. Its manifesto was anti-austerity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to negotiate on other policies. Clegg won't be leader by tomorrow and is unlikely to be an MP. And speaking as a Lib Dem voter, thank **** for that. The party is paying for his supineness in the 2010 coalition negotiations and his weak leadership thereafter. They could see this coming and should have ditched him long ago.

Port Said Red Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 So Farage's whining that UKIP deserved similar status to the main parties has been disproven then. Actually the greater amount of time they spent in front of cameras the worse they made things for themselves. maybe they will disappear all together if they someone gave them their own TV show.
