(16 Apr 2015, 9:03 pm)Adam I watched the debate and thought it was highly interesting. Out of the five, I think Sturgeon was the best in terms of performance.

One interesting point I made though was when the leaders were discussing who would go into coalition with who. Sturgeon said she would team up with Labour, but Miliband seems quite adamant that Labour will never do a deal with the SNP. If push comes to shove, would Miliband go with the SNP to make matters easier, instead of teaming up with the Greens, Plaid Cymru, the DUPs, other Northern Irish parties and George Galloway's Respect party, creating a whole tangled mess of multi-party politics?

I think a Labour/SNP collation would work, although Ed Milliband ruling it out is just giving Scotland an ultimatum on wether they should risk voting SNP and possible end up with the Tories wining a majority or use vote for a safer labour government.
I'm liking the way Leanne Wood and Nicola Sturgeon come across on the debates, very intellectual, intelligent and focused I think!
However everyone else seems to be getting a lot of leaflets etc. From parties and candidates. I haven't got a single one yet!

Over here in Murton, there will only be one outcome...

Easington Constituency will return a Labour MP...This area is like Hartlepool, put a monkey up for election and it would win

(17 Apr 2015, 6:49 am)leestransportphotos Honestly, I think UKIP have a serious problem at the minuet which is making them go down slightly in the polls. And that problem is Nigel Farage. He is a horrendous speaker, he makes points to broad and just adds that extra little detail that people don't want to hear. When he goes on them massive rants he always ends up saying something he shouldn't. Now, after watching Question Time last night after the debate I think Douglas Carswell was brilliant. The way he dealt with and answered the question, he explained things properly without shouting whereas Farage would have went wild.

Personally speaking, I feel Douglas Carswell would be a better leader for the UK Indipedance Party than Nigel Farage

(18 Apr 2015, 10:26 am)Tommy_1581 Some UKIP politicians have apparently received death threats.

(18 Apr 2015, 10:29 am)MrFozz Not surprised at that to be honest

(18 Apr 2015, 10:21 am)MrFozz I wad reading about a candidate in London somewhere who died recently and he wil stay on the ballot...

What would happen if he won the vote, unless someone knows different, ghosts cannot take there seat in Parliament...

What would happen:-

1. Would the result stand?
2. Would the person in 2nd place be elected? or
3. Would it trigger an instant by-election?

Can we combine the two by setting UKIP on fire

Whey aye man! Set Darlo on fire while you're at it!
