    David Cameron twice refuses to rule out Ukip coalition
    Prime minister declines to answer whether he would align with Ukip as Nigel Farage also refuses to rule out deal

    Both David Cameron and Nigel Farage have refused to rule out a deal between the Conservatives and Ukip after the next election.

    The prime minister was twice asked whether he would ever align with Ukip in a coalition on the BBC1’s Andrew Marr Show, but each time dodged the question. Cameron said he would not comment on any potential coalition combinations before the election.

    He insisted his only focus was a Conservative-majority government, saying: “I don’t want pacts or deals with anybody. I want a modern, compassionate Conservative party elected to run the government of this country.”

    But Cameron also declined to be rude about Ukip’s policies as he would with Labour and the Liberal Democrats, merely saying some of the anti-EU party’s members held some “extraordinary” views.

    “We see day after day, week after week they were having to expel people because they have said appalling things about different sorts of people and people who choose different lifestyles, people who think that gay marriage caused floods,” he said. “They have clearly got some issues but what I choose to focus on is the positive vision that I’ve got for the future of our country and the real choice.”

    The Ukip leader, Farage, also declined to rule out a deal with Tories, while rejecting any sort of alliance with Labour or the Scottish National party.

    Asked about working with Cameron on Sky News’s Murnaghan programme, he said: “I think we’re jumping the gun a bit here. I don’t think anybody knows what’s going to happen in this general election. It’s the most open general election in decades so we are running a bit ahead of ourselves here.”

    This is a change in tone from previous interviews, in which Farage has said he would not work with Cameron, who once called Ukip a bunch of “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists”.

    At other times, however, Farage has said he would do a deal with the devil if it meant getting the UK out of the European Union.

    Pressed again on whether he would work with Cameron, Farage said: “I’m pretty clear I want my country back. I want us to be a self-governing nation. The big elephant in the room still is the fact that most of our legislation is not made in this country, it’s made somewhere else.

    “I want our democracy back, I want control of our borders back. I want us to be able to negotiate our own deals on the world stage. To do all of that I need a referendum. We need a referendum.”

    He said it was too early to start discussing alliances, although he dismissed the idea of joining up with Labour or the SNP.

    “I don’t see Ukip being joined together with Labour and the SNP at all. I really don’t. In fact I would regard it even if we were in that position as unlikely that Ukip would want to be in coalition with anybody.

    “But what you can do is give support to minority governments in return for what you want.”

    Chuka Umunna, Labour’s shadow business secretary, said there was a huge amount of difference between Labour and Ukip but the voters would decide who wins power.



    Can you Tory ****s on here please not let UKIP into power... :(

    I'm a UK citizen, and trust me, if they get into power I'd be one of the first ****s to get on the ferry <ok>

    Not living in a country with a borderline far-right government. At least rich people will be able to abuse the system freely.

    My money is on a three-way-****-coalition but I don't really care that much who gets in as long as it's not UKIP - none of the parties represent my politics, but UKIP potentially threaten EU free movement, which could restrict my future choices.

    Well I wouldn't like to think so - in that case UKIP eat into the Tories and the Tories probably won't have a coalition partner after Labour take English Lib Dem seats, before SNP take a **** load of Scottish Labour seats - so Labour / SNP / Lib Dem might be the only viable majority, which seems like value at 25/1 (as long as Plaid Cymru or the SDLP don't make it a four way...).

    This year's General Election will be interesting, that's for sure. I fear Mike's prediction could come true and the worst government in history will oversee the destruction of the UK and the UK economy. At least with the scotch gone we can look forward to a brighter future.

    Doesn't matter who wins it. Labour, Tories, Ukip and Lib Dems all serve the same master.

    The middle class majority who are so comfortable they are more interested in the latest Apple device than Russell Brand's ******ed revolution?

    The advert with all the pictures on the back of the casing was rammed down my throat until I loved the tune and wanted one, didn't even pretend to offer anything new just pure product lust.
    They are releasing phones with **** all internal memory so you have to sign up to icloud now the cheeky ****s.

    I managed to get a brand new MacBook Air for about £650 - which was the best notebook available at that price (all things like battery life, SSD, build quality considered). I am converted now, to their notebooks at least - it's a sturdy wee bastard, no sign of wear or tear after about 9 months of fairly heavy use - and I average about one laptop a year (only because they break on me).

    Anyway, back to the politics - there are 13 million iPhone owners in the UK, and every time they launch a new product there are midnight queues around the street - corporations like these are not the masters of the people, they are only so successful because they give the people exactly what they want.

    It's funny how in the past 6 months, according to you and every other dick with a useless opinion, Russell Brand has become the saviour of all liberal thinking people.

    Don't be a ****, Mick.

    Sorry, it's hard to resist bringing him into the conversation since they keep giving him time on the news and writing articles about him in the Guardian as the voice of 'the disaffected youth', even though his book is ******ed and he's no idea what he's talking about it.

    Pure bullshit, Apple make over 100% profit on their products and people are manipulated by clever advertising that they want/need one, + their software and apps are not cross-platform so thick relatives/friends get nagged into buying their products so the people that bought them feel a bit more justified for buying them.

    iPhones are some of the worst phones available, the OS is shocking and the phones themselves are clunky and unreliable.

    You're worse than some of the most mental tree-huggers out there, just on the other side of the scale.
