Some interesting scenarios presenting themselves here:

1. Tory / UKIP coalition, UK has EU referendum and decide to stay in - then what?
2. Lib Dem and UKIP get similar number of seats, Tories need one partner to form a coalition - who do they choose?

There is a big possibility of a total f**k up with no party gaining a majority and unable to secure a coalition thus going down the minority rule and calling a second election later next year, get on big at your local bookies
Should've happened last time...

Interesting in that nobody is currently talking about Labour getting in as part of a coalition. Maybe they need to ditch their 'manager' in order to prevent getting 'relegated'? Sound familiar?

UKIP is taking Labour votes, of that there is no doubt. They seem to be able to pull numbers from the three 'main' parties. However if UKIP did not exist (or they were polling at the same percentage as a fringe party such as the Greens, then I am sure the Conservatives would win the next election.

As it is - I still do think Cameron will be PM after the GE, but I think this is down to the disaster of Ed Milliband as well.

Like they won the last election, they haven't won one since 1992 and are unelectable as a national party anymore

No way will a party in government get more seats than they have now, so a Labour victory is very likely.

I never said they 'won' the GE in the terms which you are suggesting. However they did receive TWO MILLION more votes than Labour - who were the clear loser of the last election.

Using the UK on line election calculator its still comes out Con 276 Labour 317 Lib Dems 27 Others 30 but nothing for UKIP even though they get nearly 1 in 5 of the voters in this country.

Is our system outdated and unfair?

The only way that Labour was able to get elected was to become Tory. Except, they still couldn't run the economy properly; even during the 'boom' years he ran a deficit (and that excludes the payment on Credit Cards - PFI).

One thing lefties never seem to realise is that the most important thing is the ECONOMY. That's it. Everything else is secondary. If the economy is screwed, then the government doesn't get the revenue to pay for it's pet projects.
