Yes, those are generous odds for such a skilled politician. Don't fancy Farage's odds much - a) he struggles when the subject moves away from immigration/Europe and b) he arouses a lot of antipathy in people. Yes, he'll get his fans saying he did well no matter what but there also large numbers who'd say the opposite - no other politician will have that handicap

Natalie Bennet should be 5000-1 if her previous TV debate is anything to go on. I agree about Farage, he might have his band of merry bigots but he is also hugely unpopular with many people. If the YouGov is accurate then his views will allienate him from many.
@ComResPolls New poll for @itvnews from the voters in the forty Labour-held Scottish seats sees 19 point swing to the SNP #SaveEd
Council tax bills are set locally.
The Tories HAD to honour the existing grants. After that they stopped them.

Farage is certainly hugely unpopular with me.
He's said he will resign as UKIP leader if he doesn't win his seat. I can only hope, but is there any chance of this ?

Or maybe, as Winston Churchill (heard of him??) so convincingly put it; ‘I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat’.
But not the prerequisite experience of being Prime Minister obviously.

All voting SNP so they have a chance to muscle in on Westminster via the back pocket of Labour and ruffle a few feathers.

And boost their Scotland subsidy at the expense of English taxpayers.
Exactly the same for Wales. They want funding "parity", but only if that parity is with Scotland.

It was Gordon Brown's "Better Together" speech which swung the result of the referendum away from independence. Labour voters in Scotland however saw that as Brown being used as a puppet with his strings being pulled by Westminster.

He will win Thanet South - if you went there, you'd know why.

Working there a lot, I know thats not the case (bar some pockets in Glasgow), I saw a piece the other day saying that most SNP voters don't want independence but want nothing to do with an elitist and old school Westminster. Its a very Anti Tory vote as well.
