The local paper listed all the candidates in the surrounding constituencies and their policies.

There's a BNP candidate standing in Braintree and his blurb contains the classic BNP line

I'm not racist but........... :D

I did some searching and they're only fielding 8 candidates in this election!

Miliband has pledged he won't seek reelection if he's PM and doesn't deliver on the tuition fee promise (£9000 down to £6000). A completely ridiculous and cynical ploy to capture the vote of students, and to an extent parents, who don't realise that the policy as it's planned would only benefit the richest graduates and would do nothing to help most :o.

Both Miliband and Cameron are either idiots or showing contempt for the electorate, and I know it's contempt, by constantly going on about winning a majority. I know it won't be in my lifetime but the sooner both parties are, as they are and have been for a long time, consigned to history the better. I think the whole political class thing is an anachronism and the sooner change comes the better.
 
Are Labour still going to freeze fuel bills? I haven't heard anything on this all through the campaign (and not much on the cost of living either) so I was wondering if this was still a thing or are they hoping we would forget?

They have a legitimate choice of going I to a coalition with labour. I expect Clegg just thinks he will get a better deal from the Tories who will be incredibly desperate to find some way to cling on to power.


The Lib dems lost my vote by entering a coalition with the Tories, will never be angle to trust them again.

Clegg is reliant on the tories in his constituency tactically voting for him - that's why he's playing up his preference for the tory party, it'll all change after the election, he'll be tarting the Lib Dems out to anyone if it means he stays in power.

Yeah, it's still in there. If you have a look on the BBC site there's a link to all the key manifesto points for all parties. Probably worth keeping a copy, I doubt any of them will remember what they promised within a month of two.

Obviously. But they had a similarly legitimate choice to go with Labour last time. I'm asking him why the circumstances are different this time and make a Tory coalition something awful.

Sure and I somewhat agree but I think most believe that the Lib dems failed miserably in the coalition and it would be disastrous for the party to attempt that again. It is known that many Lib Dems Mps really not no want to touch the Tories with a barge poll so there is widespread rumour of defection, resignation or voting against the parties leader if there was ever to be another coalition with the Tories.

And that is the point though, if he decides on a coalition with the Tories the party is done for, by many peoples reckoning. They certainly lost my vote this time round.

Boris Johnson

he would be rapidly transformed into the obsequious butler of Downing Street, constantly tending to the demands of fiery Aunt Nicola, always making sure that Alec Salmond was topped up with pink champagne – and at the expense of the English taxpayer.

does that mean that the tories have no intention of living up to their pre-independence promises?

They are, except they will allow prices to fall and not rise, so it is a cap not a freeze. :D
