I despair at the prospect of people supporting them.

UKIP's strategy will be the same in any election.
Sow distrust amongst the electorate and single out a particular group of outsiders to blame.
It worked well in the 1920s and 30s and, rather depressingly, it may work well in the 2020s and 30s.
I think I may move to a more liberal country when that time comes...like Zimbabwe or Belarus for example.

The TUSC dude in one of the Sunderland counts was overjoyed with the number of votes he received...A few hundred
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - MurdnunoC - 07 May 2015
Labour are still in the lead with three seats declared so far.
Using crude sampling techniques based on the outcome so far, I think we can all see the picture here. Lets save all those poor folk counting ballot papers the hassle of doing so and declare Ed Miliband the new Prime Minister now!
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - Michael - 07 May 2015
People are moving on from the main ones.
Everyone else is taking ages to get the results in.... -.-

Nope. It's a coalition of a load of trade unions and some of the socialist parties. The problem is that they're going to get whipped in every single seat, because they haven't the public support.
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - Andreos1 - 07 May 2015
Interesting thoughts.
Cameron's career is over. Trust me, 323 MPs will not vote for his manifesto promises. By night's end, he will not command a maj in HoCDr Éoin Clarke

I would not wanna be the Lib Dems Accountant/Bank Manager right now...Seems like there on course to lose thousands in lost deposits
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - MrFozz - 08 May 2015
Looks lib dems have been bent over and shafted hard...some big names lost there seats, same can be said for labour north of the border
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - Kuyoyo - 08 May 2015
The policial landscape has changed overnight.....
The BBC are now predicting 325 seats for the Tories which effectively means they'll have a slender majority.
And a lot of commentators are already predicting a change in leader for both the Lim Dems and Labour.

Lib dems have lost a lot of voters, didn't expect that, also didn't expect UKIP to do well with the % of vote.ls in some area's.
I haven't really got up to date with the other area's and who won.

Both leaders have to go really.
The Lib Dem result is nothing short of humiliating and it shows they lost a lot of support by climbing into bed with the Conservatives. Many Lib Dem voters voiced their disapproval in 2010 and some tried to distance themselves from the coalition agreement when fighting local elections. Clegg's position is now untenable as leader.
As for Labour, well, wrong choice of leadership combined with policies which don't reflect their grassroots support.
