I've got nothing against the long term job shy i made this clear time and again as you'd know if your eyes were open while you tried to read.

There are plenty of deserving, keen and desperate unemployed people who need a job why should any effort or expense be undergone to make the lives of a couple of hundred thousand doleies hard which simply means less effort for those that want the help and would be good productive workers rather than miserable workers who are a liability?

Well considering I wasn't talking about you in the quoted post I think its you who needs to open their eyes :)

Coalition tax policy has made almost everyone worse off, and their economic incompetence resulted in the longest period of sub-inflation wage growth on record so I'm not sure on what planet the Coalition have done well for working people. Especially as the policy you're presumably referring to - the tax giveaway to middle and upper income households that is the personal allowance rise - was a Lib Dem policy that the Tories decried before the 2010 election.

The rate of inflation is what, 0.5%. How much of a wage increase are you expecting? Imagine the carnage when Interest rates rise to mortgages people are already struggling to repay on bloated houses worth 3x what they should be.

Of course, the ridiculously bloated house prices have nothing to do with a couple of fairly obvious Tory housing policies that were deliberately designed to artificially inflate peoples paper wealth.

(:rolleyes:)

One above the rate of inflation, of course. Like wages have risen almost every other year in the last seventy years or so. Also while inflation is currently 0.5% it's run considerably above that for most of the last five years so that's a pretty false comparison.

Edit: The ONS page on this isn't bad. Figure 2 comparing 2013 and 2009 earning is particularly relevant.

Well, that's a leap. Actually interest rate increases driven by wage-based inflation are a good thing for homeowners because the capital sum is fixed, inflation erodes its value.

My own tax bill came down significantly thanks to Tory policies.
 
Was undecided until last week, but at this point I think Lib Dem is my best option. Which I wouldn't have imagined myself saying after last election, but there you go.

I believe the best realistic outcome of this election involves Labour as the main part of the government, but Labour have done such a poor job in my constituency and the candidate is a bit of a ****** so i don't particularly want to vote for him. I don't agree with the SNP on nationalism or independence, and i've seen no reason to believe that their economic policy is any more fair than Labour's or the Lib Dem's. That said, my seat is almost certainly going to go to the SNP no matter what so i'll probably be voting for my local Lib Dem candidate just to show support for them as they're the one i most closely identify with, and i respect the work they've done for LGBT and gender equality, sexual health and GBH prevention. On a party level i think Miliband has the clearest and best vision for where the country could be, and i would very much like to see him realise it, but Clegg has also been speaking a lot of sense and i would like the Lib Dems to still be players in the next government, especially if they're going to push the issue of STV.

As robgmun likes to post everything bad that happens to other political parties, thought it only fair to show what one real Ukip candidate thinks.

Of course, these are his own personal opinions and do not (yet) form part of Ukip official policy. I know Ukip aren't (officially) a racist party, but they do seem to attract (for some reason) more than the average share of racist nutters

In short he says he is a "convert to Islamophobia" and that "Islam is at war with us, as it has been with the whole world for the past fourteen centuries"

Nothing like the BNP I see :rolleyes:
 
This will be a hung parliament and a mess.

I've never had time for Lib Dems but to see them now slithering on their bellies and whoring their *** to the highest bidder is pretty low even for them.
 
So when you think your MP is a ****, but it's a very safe conservative seat who do you vote for without feeling let down when he wins anyway?

Also from the what I've read today, would Dave really try to claim that the people want Tories and push ahead with this legitimacy claim?

Frankly if there isn't a large swing from Conservatives and Labour to UKIP then this country is finished as it means that those two parties will be in power no matter how incompetent and corrupt they are :mad:
