to be bored of the election already, nothing will change

[ljwales]

Ukip will win 3-4 more seat, then the Tories will get to choose what to do so will just say to LDs let's do it again.

Then 66% more cuts will start.

That's a bit pessimistic! Perhaps we could try to avoid it?

Can you usually foresee the future? I hope you've got it wrong this time.

A lot will change if the Tories win. It's bad enough waiting fourteen months for a personal independence payment answer only to be turned down, and appeal. They do not want to help the sick, single parents and women. They are here to make life hard and it is going to get worse if they get in again

I'm tying to figure out what I can sell to raise funds if the tories get in again.

With the seats the Tories & LibDems will lose, very unlikely that it will be the same government after the election. Tories will need UKIP and DUP support at least. Most likely forecast is a Labour minority government supported for most Bills by the SNP.

I'm sick of it too.

It's the lies I cannot stand. If we are to reduce the deficit the Govt will have to raise taxes/makes cuts. They are lying if they tell us they won't.

Almost everything they tell us they will do they cannot do anyway as their hands are tied by EU, ECJ, HRA, ........

Yes-if the Tories get in again a lot will change-particularly for the sick and disabled and anyone caring for them. Beware!

If we have a Labour government supported by SNP, we would have an immigration free for all, no EU referendum, far more subsidies and public sector non-jobs for Scotland as Sturgeon/Salmond hold Miliband to ransom, anti-business policies, higher taxes, higher unemployment, higher deficits etc.

The idea of leaving the EU terrifies me. It's the only thing standing between Tories/UKIP and our human rights. I like our human rights.

The idea of leaving the EU also terrifies me, not only for the human/business element, but leaving it would also give those in power and the fishing industry to absolutely trash our environment. All environmental protection currently comes from Europe. It would be goodbye to most of our wildlife if we leave.

From a UK perspective the thought of the SNP holding the balance of power alarms. My best case scenario would be a Lab/Lib/Green (assuming they hold onto their seat or even gain more) Coalition.

We can leave the ECHR without leaving the EU. I hope it happens. We are the country of the Magna Carta, and Westminster is the Mother of Parliaments. Why should some Eurocrat with nothing to do with Britain decide to give prisoners the vote, or whether we can deport an illegal immigrant?

We were the country of Magna Carta - until the Tories ratified the European Arrest Warrant.

All the current polls look like a con lib co is the likely result, I'll revisit this thread after but I have a funny feeling it will stay the same

I think *

Our turnout locally at the last poll was 44%. A lot more might change if people actually got out and voted.

Getting the vote out is a political procedure that hasn't really translated in the UK. The problem with either David or Ed, is that neither of them has fixed my roads, mended my school and my local hospital has closed. Endlessly promising to do it all in the next parliament (and bring me breakfast in bed) just adds a slap in the face, to a poor local school, surrounded by broken glass, a 45 minute drive to A&E and pot holes as far as the eye can see.

You want me to vote for that?

just for info.

Huh? You obviously know nothing about snp policies eg pro business, lower corporation tax, lower air passenger duty.
