Most labour party members are left.
How many times do Labour need to ruin the economy before people stop voting for them.
Remember, no one saw the financial crisis coming, and the Tories were in fact calling for less banking regulation at the time.
it's feasible that UKIP will have more mp's than the libdems so there's one good thing about UKIP they're good to embarrass cleg.
That's not even remotely feasible. UKIP will win 1-5 seats. Lib Dems will definitely win more than 20. It won't even be close.

I think you need to realise that the whole Labour ruins economies, Tories fix them is a load of crap.
Remind me how we are doing on having paid off the deficit under the Tories?
its 2015, they promised in 2010 it would be gone by now. In fact they brought in a law to say it would be. That sounds familiar to yesterdays law on taxes...?
They promised they would rebalance the economy. That's not happened - we are more reliant on the service sector than ever before. In fact growth in the last quarter under the coalition is half that of the last quarter of the last Labour government. The first thing Osborne did was to increase VAT, which is the most regressive of all taxes to rise which promptly cut spending and consumer confidence. Competent with the economy my arse.
Their latest wheeze, despite having done nothing of what they promised in cutting the deficit is to decide that suddenly there is after all, billions of pounds spare for tax giveaways that will mostly benefit the rich, whilst refusing to say how they will be paid for aside from vague mutterings on further welfare cuts.
There is a reason they wont specify whats coming, in that it will be something that affects most families - cutting child tax credits for example - and hence massively unpopular and could cost them the election.

Congratulations sir, you've just qualified as the UKIP member in the borough of your choice!
National debt is now treble what it was in 2007 and the annual deficit is more than double what it was in 2007, which of course was before the banking sector blew up our economy and not Labour.
It makes me laugh when people just repeat Tory bullpoop it shows how ignorant the average voters are, still it probably doesn't help that Labour just suck it up and won't blame the banks either.

What the actual ****?
National debt is irrelevant to how well a government is doing, it's deficit that's important.
Annual deficit is currently ~ half what it was in 2010, that means that when Labour left office in 2010 annual deficit must have been quadruple what it was in 2007 (assuming your figures are accurate).
So Labour quadrupled the deficit in three years, tell me again they did nothing wrong?
I've come around to this too, vote for your first choice. If everyone does it gives a much clearer picture of true preferences.
You obviously haven't engaged brain. How is a parent supposed to "earn it instead" when they're looking after young children? Maybe they pay for childcare... We have the second most expensive childcare costs in the world, far beyond what low earners can afford. Hence benefits to help parents stuck in this trap.
Today's forecasts are all down, now predicting 2-3 seats (from 1-5 a fortnight ago).
I think I've cracked why ocuk has such a tory ukip majority, it's lonely computer nerds who KNOW they're never gonna benefit from family tax credits and hate to see their bitcoin mining profits go towards folk who've had full sexual relations with an actual other person.
Or how gullible the average Labour voter is....
Yup one must be totally gullible to believe real economic facts rather than "sounds right" quips like money trickles down as if it was water moving through downwards angled plastic pipes.
Anyway actually came here to post this article on AV:
Would alternative vote have affected the election?
In a delicious bit of irony, it turns out the Conservatives fought hard against AV before the referendum, but since the rise of UKIP, AV would make a Tory majority next week far more likely!
Hilarious.
This is pub/popular economics (i.e. worthless).

Honest people who manage to make a profit I guess.
