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.

it is indeed a very witty and funny cartoon, unlike those from the socialist worker or from wherever free culls his, which rarely have any humour attaching

Voters: leader from party with most seats has bigger mandate
Voters tend to believe the leader of the largest party has the better claim to be Prime Minister, not the leader of whichever group of parties can command a majority
The public may be headed for disappointment if the leader of the largest party on May 8th fails to form a government – they think that leader has the better claim to become PM.

I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
Love is just like a merry-go-round
With all the fun of a fair
One day I'm feeling down on the ground
Then I'm up in the air
Are you leading me on?
Tomorrow will you be gone?
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
I may win on the roundabout
Then I'll lose on the swings
In or out, there is never a doubt
Just who's pulling the strings
I'm all tied up in you
But where's it leading me to?
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
I wonder if one day that, you'll say that, you care
If you say you love me madly, I'll gladly, be there
Like a puppet on a string
Like a puppet on a..... String
LOL!!!!!

cyners - Does this look like the face of concern :0) :0) I don't think so.
Are you still supporting goldfinger, mike740 or whoever he is calling himself in the last half hour, week month whatever? Considering you spend the majority of your time arguing against him on his thread across the road, why bother?

So an individual who is the leader of a party, which has less support than the majority of MPs and voters should be PM.
Cameron doesn't even hold the respect of his own party, nor the majority of MPs, nor the voters.
He has as much chance as a wax cat in hell!

Nicola Sturgeon slams Labour “No” to SNP deal
16:20Saturday 02 May 2015
172
HAVE YOUR SAY
PEOPLE across Scotland, including Labour voters, have been “appalled” at Ed Miliband’s refusal to work with the SNP to keep out a Conservative government, according to Nicola Sturgeon.
The SNP leader said any opportunity to “get the Tories out” should be seized, as she hit out at the Labour leader for saying he would not consider a post-election deal with her party if the General Election results in a hung parliament.
If you really want progressive politics and social justice, surely we’ve got to take any opportunity to get the Tories out
Nicola Sturgeon
Mr Miliband declared earlier this week: “If the price of a Labour government is a coalition or a deal with the SNP, it is not going to happen.”
DON'T WORRY NICOLA ED WAS DOING WHAT THE LABOUR PARTY DO BEST, LYING!!!!

Jack McConnell: Anti-Tory alliance will not work
14:53Saturday 02 May 2015

HAVE YOUR SAY
THE SNP and Labour would not be able to “gang up” against David Cameron and form an anti-Tory government if the Conservatives win most seats in next week’s election, a former Labour first minister has warned.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon has offered to make Labour’s Ed Miliband prime minister if there is an “anti-Tory majority” in the House of Commons and block the Conservatives from a second term in government.
SNP argument that everybody else could gang up on him will not work
Lord McConnell
But Lord McConnell said, even if Mr Cameron fails to win an overall majority, the “public perception will be that he has won” if he emerges from the May 7 election with the largest number of MPs.
The former Scottish first minister refused to try to form an administration in Edinburgh after the 2007 Holyrood elections, as the SNP won one more seat that Labour.
Lord McConnell told BBC Newsnight he had been “under massive pressure” to work with the Lib Dems and Conservatives to “try to put together an anti-SNP coalition”.
But he added: “My view was, even people who hadn’t voted for the SNP felt they had won. If we had tried to do anything that went against the grain we would have been in massive trouble.”
The Labour politician said that meant “even if Cameron was to lose a few seats, if he still has a few seats more than Labour then public perception will be that he has won”.
In those circumstances he said the “SNP argument that everybody else could gang up on him will not work”.
He said: “If we get to Friday morning and the sitting Prime Minister who is in Number 10 has won more seats than anyone else he will automatically get the first go and the public will expect him to do that.”
However he said: “If Cameron loses, even by only one or two seats, then all the momentum and pressure shifts to Ed Miliband to try and form a government - and so will public opinion.”

Sturgeon and Cameron all a Twitter over Royal Baby

HAVE YOUR SAY
WITHIN minutes of the announcement that the Duchess of Cambridge had gone into labour, excitement broke out on social media as the world prepared to welcome the fourth in line to the throne.
Despite the early hour the topic began trending almost immediately on Twitter, with #RoyalBaby and Kate Middleton the top two worldwide.
While many fans gathered at the Lindo Wing others followed and reacted to the news online.
In the last week of the election campaign the party leaders were quick to break away from campaigning by sending their best to the royal couple.
Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: “Many congratulations to Prince William, Catherine and George on the birth of their baby girl. Lovely news.”
While David Cameron wrote: “My best wishes to the Duchess of Cambridge, who is having her second child today. The whole country will wish her well.”
Nick Clegg shared the Prime Minister’s sentiments, saying: “Best of luck to the Duchess of Cambridge today, as she gives birth to her second child. The thoughts of the whole country will be with her.”
Labour leader Ed Miliband said: “I want to pass on my best wishes to the Duchess of Cambridge. My thoughts are with her and the Duke of Cambridge today. I wish them well.”
Author JK Rowling had speculated on Friday that the birth may take place yesterday. She said: “I wonder what odds we’d get on the royal baby being born tomorrow and called Victoria?”
The Lego group took the opportunity to create a new Lego Royal Family, complete the baby princess in a pram, tweeting: “It’s a girl! Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.”But Twitter user Liz Webb said she was keeping her fingers crossed. “Come on #RoyalBaby. Please be born today and be a princess called Elizabeth.”
Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their baby girl. I’m absolutely delighted for them.
David Cameron
I'm sure all the republican Nats on here, will share in Nicola Sturgeons congratulations to the Royal couple.
