So is a Con/ Ukip coalition now on the cards ? A few cups of coffee ( pints for Farrage) around the table I think it is .
Labour /SNP coop I'm leaving the country .

People are dumb and will still vote Labour, sop expect an SNP with Labour being the lap dog
Aren't UKIP expected to win 3 seats max?

Why are UKIP denizens so utterly infuriating. Like, punch in the face for being so much of an irritating **** infuriating. This right here is a classic example of bull **** rehtoric and nudge nudge wink wink style writing. They are more annoying than the fred phelps Christian cult 'God hates gays' banner style. Seriously, stop it. Its not big, its not clever, and you are a ****.
Its amazing how accurate this south park joke is, and how dumb the plebians truly are.

That's what's predicted however everyone you talk to in my me neck of the woods says Nigel has there vote . I think they will have a lot more than 3 .
As a Veteran I would be bonkers not to vote for them , my head says Conservative though as I can't live under a Labour / SNP Co op . The threat of removing Trident is just crazy.
No, because it makes absolutely no difference to the Tories forming a majority. UKIP will win between 1 and 4 seats, if they win more the. They will be taking them from the Tories so the total seat count doesn't change. The Tories would still be short by a lot of seats, even adding Lib Dem seats and DUP there might not be enough, but the Lib Dems will not form a coalition with UKIP. Plus SNP may well give a vote of no confidence if UKIP is part of any coalition.
As explained on the previous pages, there is almost no way the Tories will remain in power. Labour with some kind of agreement from SNP will see them go to #10. Every day we get closer, the more the polls show this, the more likely this be reality.
Even a big Tory shift at the last minute likely won't be sufficient to stop that because it depends on so many things going exactly right. If the Tories win extra seats then it comes form UKIP and Lib Dems more than Labour so the total seat count stays relatively static.
The next most likely outcome is a new election has to be held IMO. That would occur if the SNP don't give a vote of confidence to Labour preventing labour getting in power. They will certainly vote no for any Tory coalition and so no one will get majority confidence. The queen will instruct a new election. That seems very risky from SNPs part, a new election may see the Tories gain a majority, which is exactly why labour and The SNPs will likely come to some agreement.

Please keep voting UKIP guys, cause the Conservatives to lose the election & result in us not having a referendum. 
Are you a UKIPer?

UKIP are only polling around 13% nationally, compared to 33-34 each for labour and Tories. The other issue is UKIP vote is distributed between many constituencies, there aren't many at all that have a strong UKIP support. There is only 1 single safe UKIP seat which is Why they may end with only a single seat come may 7th.
UKIP themselves are only focusing on 10 seats and don't expect all of them obviously. An exceedingly good turnout for UKIP at this stage would be 5 seats, realistic is in the 2-4 range.
Believe me, we all feel exactly the same way of people who vote Labour, Libdems and The Greens
Anti-kippers come across as obnoxious self-righteous *****

Even if UKIP only gets 3 MP's, getting ~15% of the vote would have a dramatic impact on the future direction of British politics. It would almost certainly swing the post-Cameron Conservatives towards the right, because if they could hoover up even just a third of the UKIP voters, they'd win the next election.
Labour aren't actually facing a similar leftist pressure, because despite claims to the contrary, the SNP are not to the left of Labour on the whole. They have very similar economic plans.

More than not quite right, more like scandalous.
3 seats could be enough for a Tory / Lib Dem / Ulster Unionist / UKIP majority coalition.
If the Tories swing further to the right then they would loose a huge amount of of the moderate vote, far more than the few additional UKIP seats they would pick up.
If the to tidies go any further right that will guarantee a labour majority, or at least labour and lib dem coalition.

The Lib Dems concentrate there resources on a handful of seats across the south and south west and don't make any effort in areas were labour are strong.
As far as UKIP goes it's not so much how many seats they get it's how many seats they are preventing the Tories from winning and getting an overall majority. If it wasn't for UKIP David Cameron would have most likely have had a majority last time around, so if you hate the Tories you can thank UKIP that they didn't have universal rule over the country.

You are obviously one of the hard of thinking so I will try to explain it to you simply. In your scenario Labour will have the largest party.
The SNP(if it held enough seats) is as dependant on Labour as Labour would be on the SNP.
The reality is the largest party is always in the driving seat. If this was not the case then Cameron would be in Clegg's lap dog and do his bidding.
Stop reading tabloid **** and look at real world scenarios.
Yes, but that would require the lib Dems agreeing to work with a UKIP coalition which is a chance in a million considering nick Clegg is demanding Cameron to publicly announce no UKIP coalition. So in the end it is likely a mute point.
More likely would actually be Tories do much better than expected, as do Lib Dems and the single green seat is enough to tip them into a balance. The greens and lib dems will be fine in coalition, I don't know if the greens would work with the Tories except for the fact that it could push the party forwards massively to have the claim of being in power within a coalition.
