My prediction is that the country is ****ed irrespective of who is in power.

Something I don't understand: UKIP are generally ahead of the Lib Dems in the polls. So why isn't the possibility of a coalition with Lab or the Tories and UKIP ever discussed?

True but if UKIP actually get more votes than the Libs then presumably they would have some MPs (despite lack of Prop representation)?

Hmm.

Labour are going to get totally thrashed so I reckon the fecking Tories will romp in. This country is pants at tactical voting. I actually agree that the liberals have been a positive influence overall, but their vote has collapsed.

UKIP vote is the key. It's pretty clear now though that Cameron has diluted their threat
by adopting an anti immigrant stance and pledging an in out EU vote.

If the Tories change their leader then they will win the next election with a coalition with UKIP....UKIP Will do well in the European elections in May 2014....a vote for Labour will be like voting Mickey Mouse for the Cat Party...

How is it worse than it was then? More people working? Economy on the rise is it not?

This is, whether you are a natural Tory or not, is the reality.

At General Elections the people that vote take their decision more seriously than for interim council or euro elections and tend to vote according to their self interest which is not unreasonable. MOST voters have a job and most have a mortgage or have aspirations to own their own home. Give this and the experiences of the last 5 years or so, this election will therefore be about the economy. Whether you hate everything else about them, the Tories seem to have made the right call on the economy and Labour the wrong one. Given that most people believe that Labour and Ed Balls also caused the economc mess in the first place then they are truly screwed.

Tory majority on its way

Scotland will be independant and a Tory landslide will follow.

The Scots wont vote for independence, the nationalist vote will collapse because their whole reason for being has failed. The scottish people will then return to their default position of voting Labour, because they see torys as the ENGLISH establishment, and liberals as their lickspittles

The Lib-Dems, reduced to about nine seats, will retreat to their National Redoubt in the southwest, and activate their stay-behind teams for a final stand, during which they will rename themselves the SNP (Somerset Nationalist Party), while Nick Clegg escapes on a U-boat to Buenos Aires.

Their party political broadcast will be a Downfall bunker-scene parody...

With red ed as Labour leader the conservatives will win easy with about 340 seats

No one old enough to remember Tony Benn, or Michael Foot, or Arthur Scargill, could possibly call Ed Milliband 'red Ed' with a straight face.
