The SNP could only do a deal with Labour, as the Conservatives would be totally out of the question for them. Labour could try and use scare tactics by telling Scottish voters that if they decide to vote SNP, then it would near enough guarantee a Conservative government.cibaman said:malg said:Very bad headlines for Labour today with regards to a poll in Scotland. If the results of the poll hold for the General Election, then Labour could lose 37 seats in Scotland, and probably couldn't govern without those seats. Ed needs to sort it out.
It would certainly give the SNP plenty of clout in Westminster. Its quite possible that we'll end up with a minority government where its not possible for either Labour or the Conservatives to form a coalition with just the Lib Dems.Would the SNP support a Labour government when they've just taken most of their seats in Scotland?

whoever gets put in charge is going to be an absolute disaster for the country, all a bunch of lying two faced c##tsinbetween said:I'll be voting conservative. I don't like the cuts but there is simply no other option and even Labour have conceded that they are necessary even if they won't tell you to your face. Other than that the country is recovering and the industry I am in is booming, so for me personally it is all about keeping the status quo.
For those thinking of UKIP, all your vote will do is ensure a racist lunatic ends up in bed with a socialist lunatic in Labour. Letting UKIP get a scratch of power will send us back to the stone ages, the only real policies they have are based around immigration, everything else is complete make believe. If you are going to protest vote, it would be absolutely barmy to vote UKIP, just don't vote altogether. UKIP have yet to release any real credible policies bar leaving Europe, the rest are are economically unviable or just mad. Letting these idiots have any determine in policy aside from the immigration issue would be an absolute disaster for this country.
Possibly, or we're into one of the big parties doing a deal with the LibDems/SNP or maybe even UKIP if that lot get some seats. Could be interesting times ahead.gordondaviesmoustache said:I'm coming to the conclusion that at the very least the Tories will hold what they have and possibly get a (very small) outright majority, which I think would be a bad thing overall.
UKIP will definitely get some seats malg. There are certain parts of England, on the Eastern geographical fringes: Kent, East Lincolnshire for example, where immigration completely dominates the political landscape. They won't get more than a dozen or so seats imo and I think their impact elsewhere will be limited. Much of middle England fears a return to power of Labour too much. That will concentrate minds greatly in marginal seats.malg said:Possibly, or we're into one of the big parties doing a deal with the LibDems/SNP or maybe even UKIP if that lot get some seats.
