Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Max dont listen to Hays the experts last night were predicting 20 plus seats for UKIP. I watched both BBC1 and SKY while 4am this morning.

Dont forget theres a short list of more defections.

Reckless with a win will start a stampede, its probably happening now behind closed doors.

And when the bookies were predicting Tories with most seats Hays was telling a different story.

Hes afraid of the Mansion Tax.

Maxk
Yes. But it won't give them the ability to partner in a coalition. You need seats for that.

Odds checker again........Prime Minister After General Election

4 are giving odds and have Milliband as outright favourite with Cameron just behind.

None are giving Cameron as favourite.

Max I get your drift Hays is just playing at being silly devils, hes good at that, he knows the crack and what you are getting at and if he doesnt he IS a bit short upstairs.

Again odds checker...... 3 giving..... next government Labour,

non....... conservative.

I wonder what the odds would be on a Lab. Lib/Dem. Coalition with a "tie up" with SNP and Plaid?

hmmmm that could happen their were lots of differing combos served up last night by Andrew Neal.

It was interesting to see the interviews of people in Clacton by the BBC and Sky after the election today. Many people said that although they voted for UKIP in a by election, they would revert to voting Conservative at the GE.

Hang on hays you said you didn't give a fig about Clacton.

if carswell is as good an mp as i have heard, then i reckon he'll hang on to the seat

in some ways more interesting was the by-election in m'chester
while accepting it was a small turnout - i've seen plenty lower - it was still a kick in the teeth for labour, but again, will that be mirrored in the general election

LOL you dont half talk some pony cynic. a 36% turnout and thats probably give or take a few hundred the most that UKIP can muster together.

Plus your forgetting the new Labour MP had to fill the feet of the late respected sitting MP.

No kick in the teeth for labour at all what it showed was that in the North UKIP are going to be labours main challengers rather than the Tories hence the Tory saying vote UKIP get Milliband in power.

Reckless winning would be like an atomic bomb placed on the Tory party,id be shit-ing if I were you, the Mansion Tax is being drawn up as I post.

Still I wouldn't rule out UKIP, I know plenty of people here on the south coast that WILL vote for them..

Haze.

You are back in Noddy Land again.

At the rate tory party members are defecting there won't be a party to vote for.

I don't think such a rump should be even allowed party political broadcasts at the time of the next election, especially as Cameron seems to much of a coward to debate policies with Farage.

After the next G/E, what will remain of the tory party other than a rabble, seen by many to be led by a cowardly liar, who its members were unable to rid themselves of.

The lack of courage shown by the poser Cameron will be played on by Farage right up to the next election.

=====================

Caswell, may be a "good" constituency MP, but he only comes into "contact" with minority of the his electorate and possibly by the time of the next election the rest will have forgotten who he is!

SHORTIE STOP ARGUING..........LOL.

Yep the Tories ......and labour dismiss UKIP at there peril.

BIG BIG point you make their Fred. Tory defections.

i don't agree with your summation of the result in m'chester
however, i would accept that by-elections often give totally skewed results that are not borne out in a general election
and i'll preempt hays by saying that clacton is a completely different kettle of fish

Sorry GF lol.... But in my defence there has only been 1 person I've ever argued with on this site... I took yours and everyone elses advise by the way and squelched the idiot..

I think you are all missing the big picture here!!

And here it is!!

JR clearly is alive and getting into British politics!!
