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.

Labour will be nowhere near the biggest party. Even if you project 5% onto the GE it wouldn't be enough. The number of seats that Labour may lose in Scotland could be up to 14% of their total. The Conservatives are well on track to be the biggest party.

They may not get the chance. The party with the most seat gets to be first to try and form a government. That could be a minority government which would be more stable now we have fixed 5 year parliaments. It is now much more difficult to unseat a minority government.

Don't forget that Labour plus SNP only came to 264 seats last time. Conservatives got 307. The total of seats in Scotland hasn't changed, just the possible split.
The DUP will side with the Conservatives. They used to be part of The Conservative and Unionist party.

Haze,
The tory party is toxic.
None of the other parties would support them, or even touch them, other than, perhaps UKIP.
Read the rules for dissolution of parliament.

Found you perfect leaders for the torrid party!

David Mellor 'swore at taxi driver' during route row
I wonder if he will deny it and lose the files?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30188899
Former Conservative cabinet minister David Mellor has been secretly recorded having a heated row with a London taxi driver, a newspaper has reported.
He was recorded swearing at the driver and arguing about the best route to take, according to The Sun.
Mr Mellor called the man "stupid" and told him to "shut up", the newspaper said. He also recounted some of his lifetime achievements.
Mr Mellor told the paper the driver had "seriously provoked" him.
'Just shut up'
Mr Mellor got into the taxi with partner Penelope, Lady Cobham, outside a restaurant in Marylebone High Street, central London, at 17:50 GMT on Friday.
The couple wanted to go five miles to St Katharine Docks, east London, and were charged £29, the paper said.
In the recording Mr Mellor, 65, who served as national heritage secretary in Sir John Major's government, is alleged to say: "You don't know as much about London as I do."
He adds: "You've been driving a cab for 10 years? I have been in the cabinet, I am an award-winning broadcaster, I'm a Queen's Counsel, you think your experiences are anything compared to mine? Just shut up.
"Drive me whichever way you want, and keep a civil tongue in your head."

The Libs will keep most of their seats due to the way voting works in the UK. LIB support is based in a small number of constituencies. UKIP may still end up with no seats at all. Their current two seats will have to be won again at the GE when it will not be a protest vote.

For Fred The Red to call the Tory party toxic is almost a compliment from him. Apart from Scotland, how about Wales? NHS running fine there is it under Labour controlled councils?

Hays in denial again.
For God sake man Labour in the last 3 polls are 5 points ahead of you.
Add on the 1.7% because of First Past The Post and they are easily the party with most seats.
You do talk silly when you refuse to accept the pollsters dont include Scotland.
What a fool.

Of course, Labour are on target to lose seats in Wales as well. They are pretty much doomed.

Dear Mr Cameron,
Language is a wonderful thing, Mr Cameron, but its deliberate use and abuse to manipulate, oppress, use and abuse others is not just vile, it is an assault on their humanity and dignity and as such it is a violation. The language of psychology is a young discipline, less than 100 years old, and yet in that time it has made great advances to help and enable people to live more fulfilling and better lives, especially those who have suffered some kind of life trauma. However, there is a dark and ominous side to psychology, exemplified by the work of Edward Bernays, in which psychology is used to manipulate and control others. It is not too strong a description to say that such manipulation is psychological rape, after all if you control the mind you control the person. One needs to look no further than Nazi Germany to see how successful mind manipulation (propaganda) can be.
It’s interesting reading a report on your one foray into the world of work, 7 years as a PR man for Carlton TV. I’d guess that working for and with Michael Green must have groomed your skills at manipulation well, especially in someone described by Sky News business presenter Jeff Randall thus – “I wouldn’t trust him with my daughter’s pocket money”. The point being that you are clearly no stranger to the dark arts of PR and manipulation.
Since you inveigled your way into number 10 you and your government have relentlessly and fairly successfully sought to manipulate and change the social perception of the poor as malingerers and by constant inference, as people who do not want to get on, thus laying the ground work for your war on the poor and the role of Iain Duncan Smith as the orchestrator of his all out onslaught against the poorest and most vulnerable people in society.
It comes as no surprise to discover that a letter demanding the presence of a woman who is over 90 to a ‘Service Compliance Office Interview’, was couched in language designed to intimidate and overwhelm, especially in an aged person. Language, indeed, worthy of the Third Reich. Less ‘Nudge Unit’, more like assault. I understand that you have been raised and trained to have an incredibly thick skin but that doesn’t make you fit for office, quite the reverse. Currently trending on Twitter is the hash tag #CameronMustGo, indeed, along with the rest of your bully boy thugs.
