Who The Hell Will Win The Next Election

[black_cat51]

I know there are people who will jsut vote how they always vote, but i honestly can't see ANY viable party for power
conservative = many people are extremely disillusioned with their policies
Lib dem = their supporters are disappointed at all the concesions they've had to make on their policies because they are in a coalition
labour = seriously, would anyone vote for ed milliband to run the country
Ukip = i am not sure that enough people would support their right wing policies

honestly, who do you think will win?
It looks like another coalition to me

You can't tell until nearer the day.

A hung parliament is a possibility, but at present I don't see anyone seriously trying to stop the Tories getting in again. But I suspect this early it would be wasted effort. Little point in in rushing to the top of the polls only to have a lead nibbled away again before it counts.

labour are odds-on favs with the bookies and a few abers but I'd be surprised if they were 'forgiven' so soon.
Cameron's starting to get on my toot. the majority of people don't believe gay rights, the environment or women's 'issues' are the most pressing matters of the moment.(imo)
ukip cant win the election but I could see them having a big influence on government policy for years to come.(hopefully ;))

I'm expecting a hung parliament with some kind of pact or coalition going on. It's impossible to tell between who at this point. Too close to call and too long to go yet to predict.

[Wharton]

Conservative Party. The UK (or what remains of it) will have lost all the Scottish Labour MPs after independence.

[Svejk]

yes, forgot that possibility.

[ludwig]

I'm worried about you Wharton. You need to consider the possibility that the vote might not go your way.

[Wharton]

ludwig - There is no chance of a No vote - you can say you heard it here first.

[Wharton]

Without the Labour Party we would never had the NHS.

[Cloverjo]

Labour might have a hope if it had been David Milliband rather than Ed who won the leadership vote.

[Wharton]

Scotland has had winters (and summers) of discontent every year since it allied itself to the English, Irish and Welsh. 18.09.2014 will change all that.

>>I voted for Europe in 1975 and stand by my decision.

I also voted Yes, but for a COMMON MARKET.

But I did not vote for the EU, and I did not vote to have Roma gypsies walking in to the country living of our Benefits.

Or Romanians coming him skimming my credit card and stealing all my money.

Or giving BILLIONS to Poland to allow them to build motorways to help them export their goods to the UK and put our companies out of business.

I would have no objection to staying in the EU if it was truly a "common market" and not a "super state" that nobody voted for.

As the lunatics are running the Asylum anyway at the moment why not give The Monster Raving Loonies a chance this time around ?

[black_cat51]

my prediction is for a conservative-ukip coalition

There is no sign of the Tories winning the 2015 election at this time :::

Labour still ahead, as they have been since soon after the 2010 General Election. Still 12 months to go, so things can change but no sign of dave chipping away at that 6% lead whatsoever. Considering that some people, not necessarily me, think that he has an open goal with the two Eds, it seems that people just don't like or trust the Tories enough to give them that majority. With UKIP snapping at dave's heals, he has an upward struggle with a year to go.

Sisyphus had more chance of getting that boulder up the hill than dave has of staying in No. 10 in May 2015.

a coalition, likely be Lab/Lib,

[jeffa]

Wharton, would it surprise you to learn that, since 1945, there would have been only 26 months in which there would have been a different party in government if Scotland had been an independent country?

This is a huge misconception. An independent Scotland would make no appreciable difference to the outcome of future elections in whatever's left of the UK.

[emmie]

wharton, Scotland was virtually bankrupt, hence its alliance with England,
long time ago now of course, some people have short memories.
