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.

as 50% of medic school intake are women (by decree?), and most of those if they continue in the profession will become mothers, it is not surprising that a large proportion of them will then choose to work part time

I do not think it matters to the FTSE who or whom get elected..it may just remove a certain amount of uncertainty , but most FTSE constituents do business internationally..and are simply listed on The London Stock Exchange.
Never been interested in the elections anywhere really as they all seem to follow where the other/others left off...I doubt if the "Austerity" game plan will change...in fact I see an escalation ​of the "austerity"...which basically means ...we tax you more and give you less...funny they always find a nice sounding word for this programme.​
I mean , last year the amount of tax revenue collected was at an historical high in UK...but the talk of cutting from all public services continues..and will escalate whoever is in power.
This country will increasing become just about paying interest to the central bankers on a debt that will never end (it was never meant to)...and you know the funny part? It is interest paid on money that never even existed.


Good luck

All in my humble opinion and no investment advice intended

When i wake up Friday morning, will whatever group takes power mean we will no longer be in massive debt. Will it mean we will no longer be in deficit. Will it mean public sector pensions, will now be payable, and not unsustainable. Will it mean our near total £4.58 trillion debt will have vanished into thin air and all our problems will have been solved. Will it mean that our manufacturing sector, has now returned home from China and the east.And the large state and it's aimless expendicture which has caused this has just disapeared.

I suspect that come Friday morning, nothing will have changed, and our spiral down will continue as usually most empires do.I suspect that the causes of GBs demise are ingrained, along with it's politics.You don't have democracy, you have appointments, And the shambles of a so called election every 5 year or so. Where nothing changes, and the PTB, continue on their merry way. That is untill the natural laws create economic collapse.

PS Whats the betting that Boris, will be pushed as the next priminster.

Best odds next PM
Ed evens
Cam 19/20

Best odds next government

Lab minority 2/1
Con/Lib coalition 11/4
Con minority 5/1
Lab/Lib coalition 7/1



So the bookies reckon a Labour minority with Cameron as Prime Minister :-)

It was interesting listening to the Cabinet Secretary on Daily Politics..Cameron doesn't need to go to the Queen as he is already PM. If he gets the most seats, he can legally just carry on. He can then present his Queen's speech etc. All the Cabinet Ministers will still be in post even if they lose their seats. The same applies, even if Cameron gets the least seats.



Yep very interesting.
What happens if he wins the most seats but can't get enough support to get an overall majority but Labour can but tell the SNP to p*ss off and decide they do not wish to form a government.

Do the Conservatives have to stay in power by default or is it off to the polls we go again next month ?

Cameron stays in government. The only thing that can cause a new election is a vote of no confidence and no other party willing to be the government. Interestingly, if we have a new election in November, we will be stuck with elections in November as the government lasts 5 years from the election date.

Lol that's a stupid scenario.

What if the others just voted through amendments for all the Conservative bills but didn't call for a vote of no confidence ?

Does he and his government have to stay the full 5 years ?

Apparently there's an Erection on today . I,m surprised no ones mentioned it at all on here . We could have charts , opinion polls and the like , but no same old topics . Do I have to do everything around here .

Dilbert,

Fixed term 5-year parliaments were introduced shortly after the last election. The intention was to prevent governments calling snap elections to coincide with high poll ratings.

As Haystack said, the only scenario under which that can be changed is following a vote of no confidence. But calling a vote is in itself a risk-play, unless you and your party are confident that support for your party has increased and you'll secure sufficient seats to form a workable government in a snap election.

I know that uncertainty isn't generally perceived as being a good thing, but it also means that only centre-ground laws are likely to get passed, as contentious stuff invariably gets voted down. So no mansion tax, no referendum, etc.
