Granted, having said that i'm an Englishman who likes the SNP, i also like the LibDems, so i'm in the minority and i'm ok with that... maybe its because i'm not in London?

The Conservative party go on about how good we now have it and its all thanks to them.

If they get in they will go back how bad things are and thats why they have to put VAT up, more Stealth Taxes and cut benefits for working families who are already struggling and paying 62% of their earnings into the Tax System.

So which "stealth tax" was that then?

Staying with UKip

All the rest are the same under a different wrapper, expect Greens they are just loons

Funnily enough, the same is true if you swap the party names around.

I won't be voting green; they're not together enough to be a worthy candidate IMO, but they were a consideration for me.

At the moment, my main concern is energy, and I think the Lib Dems have that sewn up for the most part.

So, all a bit right wing around here then.

I am in many of my views yes, but not all.
I don't have much of a problem with immigration, as I hate most of the locals too ;)
I do have issues with ridiculous spending on welfare, especially in our region, Norn Iron, where the benefits cap has yet to be introduced, and the amount of waste we have on doomed failures of capital projects as they can't agree to get actual funding released, and the waste over flegs and various other protests.

This does hurt our education, and this does hurt our health, more dramatically recently. We've the worst figures for many things in the whole of the UK, despite having the best school results, and the most spend per head in the UK.

So I tend to be quite right wing, as the mess around me I am paying for, losing out due to, and can only see my daughter losing out to it also.

I don't know, I see that the recent growth in the UK is better than anyone else in Europe and quite want that to continue.

I am really quite happy with coalition government, unfortunately it's quite hard to vote for that.
 
I have a feeling that the vote is likely to revert closer towards the status quo when the actual time comes along. Similar to the Scottish independence vote, it was pegged to be very close in polls for quite a while, until the actual vote and the No vote won by a bit more than expected at 55% if I remember correctly, I would like to see things carry on as usual and don't think any drastic changes (UKIP, Greens) are reasonable. I don't believe Labour would screw everything up but I do prefer Cameron over Milliband.

I think it will be Labour/SNP government which is truly horrifying.

Yeah, my initial feeling is that we'll either see a Labour/SNP or Conservative/UKIP coalition. The former sounds better than the latter IMO.

I think it'll be a bloodbath for the Lib Dems at the next election since they've basically painted themselves as middle of the road between the Tory's/Labour and I'm not convinced there's enough of a difference between then two main parties for there to actually be a middle ground!

Plus it also suggests they'll jump into bed and form a coalition with whichever main party gains the most seats. Given how they've performed in coalition over the last 4 years I can't see anyone actually wanting to vote for them since it's basically handing the keys for number 10 to someone you didn't vote for

UKIP won't have nearly enough MPs to be useful in a coalition, whoever gets the majority of seats but not enough will need the SNP as they will have most of Scotlands seats
 
Why on earth are people predicting con/ukip as a possibability.

Ukip are going to get single digits. Yes it's likely lib will get destroyed, but will still have like 4x as many seats as ukip.

This is why capitalism and our economic system is utterly broken. We should just wipe everything and start again

Have we actually reached the point of no return hidden deep behind the scenes? After all, look at America with their 18 trillion.

With very heavy cuts in the UK in 2016 and 17.


By the way, you're daft if you think it'll be wiped clean and start again. If that day ever arrives, god forbid. It'll be wiped for them. Not for the ordinary people. Rules for us, none for them.
