The General Election Thread

[Bill]

The only reason to vote Labour is if you are a public employee dependent on other peoples taxes for your wages, or a net recipient of benefits, and you want other peoples money thrown at you by the government.

Unfortunately we have millions of such people in our country who all vote Labour for this reason.

correct.

luckily most of them being bone idle wont make the effort to vote.

The whole media are giving Milliband a leg up here by focusing on the NHS for the last few days (the Conservatives are easy to batter when it comes to the NHS). The parties are jostling for position on who can be trusted with this 'national treasure'. I personally don't trust any one of them over the others with it.

The election must be fought on the economy, and it'll be interesting to see how they get their respect ideas across. I want to hear new ideas, and exactly how the normal bloke and his family will benefit. I'm not holding my breath though, as I'm sure all they'll do is throw shite at each other.

Oh, and whoever gets the backing of Murdoch and his evil empire will win.

True dat. If only everybody read the Guardian and Mirror, that Murdoch wouldn't be so successful.

Ha Ha, you think there's any need to pose that question in your last paragraph.

Well, if it's after 5 30, or at weekends, he sure as fuck won't be able to see his doctor. Labour slipped them a massive wedge and told them to get to the pub and golf course, no need to see them twats who've got the nerve to get ill out of hours.
So using the NHS as an electioneering tool may be a big mistake.

A hundred grand a year seems reasonable, after waiting a couple of weeks to see them, they prescribe rest and pills, if this doesn't cure your ills then they send you to a specialist ie someone who knows what they are talking about

A GP on BBC last night actually said he would be no good in an emergency as it wasn't his role, he had not given mouth to mouth for 30 years, if you are gonna collapse don't do it at a doctors surgey

You really are a disease.

Instead of a petty insult which wouldn't worry anyone, why not answer my point?

We should restrict votes to those who contribute money towards the running of the country. It doesn't make sense to give them to people who simply vote for politicians who promise to give them lots of other peoples money.

Every time Labour gets in all it does is spend loads of taxpayers cash in order to buy votes from public employees and benefit recipients, and every time Labour leaves office the economy is in a mess.

Very true.

 

[Blue Til Death]

To save fucking about here is how its going to go:

Tories will win - Because only they can get the country out of the mess labour got it into (as usual) The educated voters know this

Labour will lose - Because every one aside from the great unwashed knows the above is true

Lib dems will implode - They are and have been utterly useless in the modern era

UKIP - They will take a few seats for sure but they wont do the damage they or the press think they will

Greens - Will get a seat in Brighton

SNP - Who gives a shit but they will spank Labour in Jockland and I hope they do

Ok folks there you have it, no more debate required..!

 

[Tanzeylee]

Tory/ukip coalition anyone?...

 

[Ancient Citizen]

Tory/ukip coalition anyone?...

If I were Tory leader, it's what I'd do. Ukip are (mostly) going to get their votes from disgruntled Tories, but they'll also pull a goodly few from Labour.

Would be an interesting few years...

 

[cibaman]

I still dont think UKIP will end up with more than a handful of seats. Even Farage isn't sure to get elected

 

[Len Rum]

Tory/ukip coalition anyone?...

Not going to happen, UKIP may well get a decent % of the national vote, but it won't be sufficient to translate into a significant number of seats in our first past the post electoral system.

 

[Ronnie the Rep]

I genuinely cannot believe that this country will be stupid enough or short sighted enough to not vote a Conservative majority next time. the thought of Labour/SNP getting power sends shivers down my spine

Getting a bit nervous Ron?

its a bit like watching City, you know we should win, it makes sense because of our players, tactics etc. and then some c**t scores a lucky goal. its that sort of feeling :-)

Tories may well 'win' and Labour may well 'lose' in terms of the national % of the vote, but the opinion polls indicate a hung parliament where Labour could form an alliance with the SNP to form a government. So that is one strong possible outcome of your staggering electoral analysis.
Tories are panicking because the expected drift back to them prior to the election has stalled.
Obviously the mess we are in economically has nothing to with the 2008 global financial crisis or 'Jeffrey' Osborne borrowing like a Labour Chancellor on steroids (national debt 1.5 trillion) to manufacture a 'recovery'. Thank you for clearing that up.

I think you are probably right about this bit Len, I think it would make for a very interesting time once the jocks start throwing their weight around and the GBP realised what a mistake they are (a bit like the libdems ATM)

 

[cibaman]

I think the SNP will go into the election suggesting that they might form a coalition with Labour. To nullify the "vote SNP get Tories" threat that Labour will make.

But I dont think that they will actually do it. The SNP need to be permanently at loggerheads with the Westminister parties if they are to achieve their main, if not only, goal of another referendum . They could only credibly form a coalition if Labour gave them what they asked for on devolution. But the SNP will never admit that they have got what they want on devolution. Its imperative for them to be able claim that the promises made on the eve of the referendum, the vow, has been broken. So they'll enter into negotiations with Labour but end up sabotaging those negotiations.
