Re: General Election 2015

Am looking forward to the theatre tonight on tv, 7 podiums each holding a person trying to tell us they are the best, that only they can deliver what we need and want.
Will it be a 7 wonders of the world performance, maybe a 7 year itch feeling or maybe more like this

I would have thought, it being in Salford, you would either be in the audience heckling or camped outside with your banner

Re: General Election 2015

Think they should be tied to their respective podiums and the crowds be allowed to throw rotten fruit at them... Like the good old days......
I think the result will be about 15 seats will change hands overall conservative to labour and so the stalemate will drag on for another 5 years.... I will do my best to keep the Nats out of this seat....

Re: General Election 2015

I also enjoyed the debate.

I think Nick Clegg may as well go home and stay in bed 'til the election is over. I'll be surprised if the LibDems get one seat after his lame performance. All he could talk about was 'fairness' whatever he means by that!

I'll ignore the Greens and Plaid Cymru - to me they are not even a side show.

Milliband and Cameron took the usual stance of blaming one another - and downright lying (sorry, quoting statistics) of course

The SNP made a very good show.

And the star ??

My hero Nigel. Although he will only appeal to those who share or lean towards his rather eclectic views.

Re: General Election 2015

I do think that Nicola came across very well, I disagree with much of what she says and it doesn't really matter all that much to me (sorry Scotland) but she was certainly the best 'performance'. Irritating as he was, Nigel did a good job and I can see he would have an appeal to some people, I actually do agree on a couple points he made, but most head in hands moments were from him, and turning every single bloody issue around to blame immigration just got on my nerves. Nick was nice, and I do like him as a person...but he is invisible in many respects and not a leader IMO. Ed just annoyed heck out of me and felt like he was an actor rehearsing the moves and looks he'd been taught a couple weeks ago by his trainer, plus I fundamentally disagree with a lot of his views and policies so am maybe a tad against him from the off anyway. Leanne was lovely but didn't really have an impact on me and Natalie Ben, is in cloud cuckoo land and I just don't really like her as a person. I think the Green's have some good ideas but need a different leader to get them into shape to actually work. I know who I am voting for already and nothing in there tonight has changed my views at all.

Re: General Election 2015

Proves that the past pops up in debate nom real ideas for the future.
Sturgeon and Wood are hoping to be part of a Coalition and control the Government Sturgeon still smarting from losing the independence vote and wants to be a major player in English politics and in Scotland.

We need a Government for all the people not a couple of individuals with their own agenda

Re: General Election 2015

Yep completely. I don't like all the small parties aiming at being the small party in a coalition they should be aiming to win a majority vote, not to get a few and hope the major party pick them to work with them.

I am a bit confused about the SNP / Labour thing, I'm sure on Question Time a couple weeks back SNP and Labour were daggers at one another saying they'd rather die than work together, now aiming to go into government together ???


Actually, re Question time - ''George Osborne refuses to rule out a UKIP/Conservative coalition'' How the feck is that going to work in a million months of Sundays?

Re: General Election 2015

Much the same as the last coalition, Conservatives & Lib Dem's always vowed they would not work together.......but they did.

Bit difficult for Plaid or SNP to win a majority vote. Their only hope is to go into a coalition and try to influence government.

Re: General Election 2015

Des you live in a very welsh part of wales where you would expect to have Nationalist MP you had one once now who do you have?

I Meet the last Plaid MP and found him a rather dimwit showing no passion at the business seminar we were at seemed totally uninterested in it all.
