To really worry about a Tory / UKIP coalition possibility?

Can anyone tell me how likely this is to actually happen?

I have a severely disabled daughter and also have quite severe mental health problems myself so I am scared. Actually I am scared for the whole country. I don't think there are many people whose lives would not be affected by the nasty policies of UKIP.

My friend who is from Scandinavia is worried too about the noises being made about us leaving the EU.

For profit health services are universally disastrous. In USA there are places where the amount spent on Medicare per capita is greater than the average income. The NHS is the most efficient health service in the world, except for the bits that the Tories are fucking with.

UKIP have made various contradictory statements about what they will do with the NHS. They are suspiciously unwilling to nail their colours to the mast. It's too important to leave to people who won't even consistently state what they are going to do, even if they weren't a load of me first bigots.

Oops sorry about that. I was trying to link to the Guardian which has a Nazi friend of ukip saying that when women say no, they don't always mean it.

Lovely people these fascists.

BoulevardOfBrokenSleep re your comment to me sylwright, luckily, if you're looking somewhere people think it's OK for a man to rape his wife; many, many other forums are available. It's not like the Internet has any shortage of misogynists and racists.

I don't think its OK for a man to rape his wife or anyone for that matter. I'm sure voting for any political party does not mean you agree with everything they say.

I don't think its OK to behead people in the name of religion either but I am intelligent enough to know that there are evil people everywhere.

Unfortunately UKIP seem to be annoying the media and the left wing public to such a degree that they are now being slandered at every opportunity

I would take this as a sign that they represent a real threat and the establishment are getting worried.

I don't think it will happen. What worries me more is Salmond and Sturgeon wittering on about holding the balance of power.

It doesn't actually mean '3 kids per person' (or 2, or 1, or 0 as has been suggested) It means per woman. Men will be allowed to have dozens, just so long as they don't acknowledge them and spread them about a bit between different women. Why should a man be able to have 10 kids to 5 women and have all of those children in receipt of CB, but a woman only be able to have 2? Or are women going to be able to have more, just so long as they have different fathers and the fathers don't have kids with anyone else? It's the kind of convoluted nonsense dragged up by soundbite politicians, not a reasonable or practical or worthwhile policy.

Sounds like you are advocating that women take responsibility for Contraception, as it's them that end up as single parent??

(PS - men can only get women pregnant if women allow it - by not using contraception that is in their control)

The bigger risk (and I really hope for this) is that UKIP destroys the Labour white working class vote in the North which could mean hopefully the Tories get in.

Im still laughing at person who sais they hoped for a Labour UKIP coalition, and would like to vote Labour but we're voting UKIP instead.
