General Election 2010

[Mr Scruff]

Split parliment - 3 or 4 months of shambles, another election with Brown out, Labour win.

 

A wee prediction from me.

You wonder if the Governor of the Bank of England is right, though.

 

The scale of the mistakes made in our economy, and the unaffordability of the public sector, means that we are faced with substantial cuts whoever comes in. Whatever happens. BoE chief thinks that whoever is in charge as it happens will be unelectable for a generation afterwards. Maybe it's best to lose this one...

 

Your prediction of a shambles is probably right, but I'd expect a proper coalition to emerge with no second election (from what I hear).

[Blackpool Jags]

Did I just see Brown refuse to shake Cameron's hand at the end?

 

Maybe Dave poked his burd?

[The Devil's Point]

Never thought I'd see a Liberal Government in my lifetime to be honest.

 

Its coming though.

That was my first thought too!

It's really not...

Why does Cleggers always get to go last?

 

Apparently lots have been drawn for each tv debate - to determine who speaks first, second and third in the 3 leaders opening and closing statements.

 

Same goes for who stands at which pedestal.

[GrantB]

YouGov - clear win for Cameron. Yaaas!

 

After watching that, you cannot seriously be glad?

 

Cameron is far far scarier than anything in politics since Thatcher. He didn't answer one direct question.

 

Clegg must be a fan of Limmy

Maybe so, but I believe it was agreed that Brown could stand on the (our) right due to his poor eyesight, I'm sure I heard this before the first debate.

So true. We will witness this island fall to it's knees if the Tories get in.

Agree we will witness this island sink beneath the waves if the Tories get in

Sometimes. Love to tell them the stories about the corrupt artistocracy being hung in the Grassmarket.

 

This would be what the Tories would have us back to - http://www.executedtoday.com/2008/09/02/1724-half-hangit-maggie-dickson/

The Economist has today come out in favour of the Conservatives, having backed Labour at the last three elections. It's a very influential paper and usually picks winners...

Just a shame it failed to predict the banking crisis and economic meltdown

 

There is only one party that has won this election, even disregarding the actual results.

 

Its a Liberal Democrat future

[Mediocre Pundit]

Neither did anyone else. And it's a shame Gordon Brown caused them...

Ach, where's BCG Jag and The Pedestrian? This used to be fun...

'mon the Thatcherites! Time to return to save the country again!

A wee google of "The Devil's Point" could be revealing.........

 

Back to normal character posting shortly

Now I know you are at the wind up

No half

Honestly - not at all.

I beleive you.

 

Great performance throughout this campaign.........have you thought of applying for the vacancy for Tory Leader which may come up around a week today?

You're mistaken - the vacancy will be "Leader of the Opposition" but it will no longer be a Tory in that job!

 

Thank you for the compliment though - right back at you. It's almost as if we're forming a coalition on this very forum...

[GrantB]

Honestly - not at all.

 

Then you are a very scary man indeed.

 

A return to the I'm alright and stuff the rest values of Thatcherism would be an absolute disaster for millions of people. I for one dread the thought of trying to get myself a decent job when I am made redundant next year if we are under a government of Eton toffs.

 

Of course, it might not be a disaster for me as I think it would seal the deal for independence when Scotland finally realises that in order to make sure the Tories never rule Scotland again, we have to go it alone.
