Actually Nick, I think I recall Banjax saying recently that the best result would be a Lib/Lab pact. ..........the mind really does boggle.

Ah yes, the Socialist twins. No wonder he'd like that arrangement. 

i think its time you took Albs out for a walk Nickbat - he's getting yappy 


personally if its a choice between a Lib/Lab pact and a tory govt then its a no-brainer, judging by the polls most people in this country favour some form of centrist/left party - so what gives the tories any divine right in that case?

You really think we aren't capable of working this out - seems to work fine in Germany and no one would accuse Israel of indecision - so why all the scaremongering?


Keep calm and carry on in my book 


Happy voting - and if you don't vote, then shame on you 

If I choose not to vote, that is my democratic right!  You have no right to tell me otherwise or cast shame on me.

Leave your high horse behind. 

some countries you wouldn't have a choice and i think its our democratic duty to vote - i won't go into the long torturous history of our hard won democracy, there is a thread from Nickbat that covers it splendidly - but not voting is a complete cop out in my humble, not on a high horse, opinion - no offence meant 


normal service will be resumed on Friday 


i think i'll shut the hell up 'til then

Banjax,

IMO, The option to abstain should be included on any ballot, abstention is a fundamental part of the political process, its a right that every MP has and one all citizens should have also.

Only when you include abstentions will we ever get a true and full picture of the political landscape of this nation and only then will political parties be moved to address that reality.

Forgive me, but I have better things to do than put a 'X' in a box..... especially when I know it will make NO difference.

lets hope the tories finally get a majority... totally fed up with socialist lefties closing hospitals & destroying the country. I speak from an informed stance with 13 years in emergency medicine.. didn't think tree huggers drove scoobies

In the event of excessive alcohol consumption, one might find that a very safe way to induce vomiting would be to gaze at picture of Mandelson, Darling, Brown & Harman all smiling at you  although in the event of an emergency it might be easier to get your hands on piccy of Blair

Nothing wrong in hugging trees - better than hugging a hoody

I know its the Mail, but here is a history of what happened last time. Its quite a long article but well worth the reading. The parallels with today are spooky.

Yes it was a nightmare and I never want to live through that again!!

Thank God Maggie cam e along in 79 and gave this country back its pride! 8-) 8-)

I've just voted this morning......keeping Eton toff David Cameron out of Downing Street ....is my priority.... ..... feel free to disagree...

[Banjax]

i know i said i'd shut up......but would the Mail, I wonder, be so fearful of a hung parliament if Labour were looking like having a slim majority? 

or is it that despite all the failings of Labour, despite the economic disaster, despite the unrest, despite the disastrous immigration policies, despite the screw-ups, despite the Iraq war fiasco, despite the deeply unpopular war in Afghanistan despite all that and more.....ask yourself why David Cameron has spectacularly failed to capitilise on it.......my feeling is that theres too many in this country who still burn with deep resentment towards the tories.
Cameron should be 20 points clear and cruising - instead it looks like a dogfight to the last

.....Agreed BJ....some of us are old enough to remember the Tory administration of 1979-97.....the main priority of ANY Tory government is to look after the wealthy first......at the expense of peasants such as you and I.....after all... you only have to look which party implemented the minimum wage......and the NHS in 1948?.....

now imagine Scotland returns no Tories - which is highly likely, and you have a Tory majority in westminster which doesn't need us for power - thats when madness like the poll tax comes from "try it out in scotland first - they dont vote for us anyway" 

please, let there be a hung parliament. we'll never recover under the tories

I've heard talk of someone in the borders seeing a Scottish Tory MP once....but it was dark and he was drunk so details are sketchy....personally I don't believe they exist
