Are you cherry picking your polls, or just arbitrary selections?

Why would millions of decent citizens of this country be pissed about a Tory Government on May 8th ?
The problem with political debate with some people is that they buy the lies from the party they have allegiance too, so much so that they can't have a sensible debate. It's all snearing and snide comments, and they can never accept that the other 'side' may have done some good.
I avoid most of the political debate on here now, as too many are so blinkered in their views and statements, so there is no point. This applies to both sides.
The reality is that most politicians are liars/half-truths, and that they are in it for personal benefit and they don't see that they should be serving the country. The stupid voters are the ones who really think that there is any MAJOR change seen by either party. MP's should be holding the government to account and ensuring that the country is being run for the benefit of everyone. The government MP's should challenge their own government policy, and the opposition should not oppose just because they're the opposition.
Current odds:
Most seats
Tory 1/2
Labour 7/4
Next Prime Minister
David Cameron 8/13
Ed Miliband 6/5
Majority
No Overall Majority 1/6
Conservative 5/1
Labour 16/1

This is a license to print money. A Labour PM and my mortgage paid off. 2015 is going to be some year. I might put a few extra quid on and have a nice holiday as well.

Time for us to see the screenshots of the betting slips I think.
Are these facts or made up? If facts, can you provide a source?
At work atm. I will put up the links later if you have not googled it by then.

Day 1 - Parliament has been dissolved, the gloves are off and the right-wing press has wasted no time in trashing Labour on immigration. Only 38 more days to go of this.

Labour minority government most likely outcome according to Betfair: https://www.betfair.com/exchange/politics/market?nodeId=MENU:27289304&id=1.115878540
With Cameron as the PM. That's an unexpected twist.

I thought the speech made by Nicola sturgeon over the weekend was an interesting one.
Seemly the SNP will be good for everyone in the UK and she promised to reach out(eugh) to every uk voter. If labour gets in off the coat tails of sturgeon, I wonder if the first vote that they agree to support milliband, the cost of that support is another referendum on Scottish independance until the scottish people get it right as the snp see it!
I don't understand why when they failed to get the one thing that they campaign on, independance, will the Scottish people vote so many snp MPs.
Also since when did nationalism, which in my day was always linked with right wing facism , suddenly become a left wing thing? I thought international socialism was all about being one nation together, not individual countries wanting independance.
