Poll: General election voting round 5 (final one)

[ElliorR]

I actually think Clegg would be a better PM than any of them, he's actually likeable which is very rare in politics, just a shame he never will be.

 

[Skidder]

By comparing us to Greece?

Yes, I was obviously referring to that one comment particularly.

Clegg just confirmed Lib dens are going with Conservatives. Largest party rules.

 

[muon]

So that means the Lib Dems will try form a government with the Conservatives. It's almost guaranteed the Conservatives will have the most seats.

Thanks for coming Nicholas, well played.

Only if the polls are correct, I don't believe they will be.

I think Clegg is doing an outstanding job. I was expecting him to get utterly destroyed but he's really holding it together and sounding very reasonable.

 

[muon]

They could be wrong but the current odds are very strongly in favour of the Conservatives.

Can get 3/1 for Labour getting the most seats.

Cleggers doing good - people still not getting how coalition agreements work

I expect Conservatives will get a few more than current polls/at the top end of them, ~290 range. Farage's seat for example.

Clegg does stand out. It would be good to have him and Cameron back.

 

[Doohickey]

Why can't we ever have a likeable and commanding PM? The last one who was truly commanding was probably Maggie Thatcher. Other countries have cool leaders, Obama, Putin, Abbott, Mugabe.

 

[muon]

He's excellent. Hopefully people haven't turned off given an hour and a half is quite a lot for the average Joe to sit through.





That's always been clear. But if they can't form a functioning government, they'll then also talk to Labour/form a government with them as long as they can reach an agreement.

An argument could be made that most people had voted against the current government and so you try form a government with the opposition first.

That was the exact argument made 5 years ago.

They will have sometime to get a functioning government. It won't be like Brown where everything was done in hours. There is always a tendency to follow the largest party and particularly with 280+ conservatives that is approximately the threshold for stability.

 

[Doohickey]

Yesssss go on Cleggy, "Nine.... Eleven"

Agreed, where did they find these people. Some of these questions to clegg makes them look very stupid.

Don't you mean hope?

Yorkshire I believe. Agree it was a poor choice.

So no chance of a Labour majority, no deals.

Miliband may as well have used tonight to announce a Labour leadership contest.
