    That's the way fella.<ok> I must say I see no Tory values in you at all. But you're running a business now so there is a chance they can offer you something with one hand and taking something away from you with the other. They're your scales to balance.

    Is there anybody on here living in Scotland, who can advise us on how SNP stand up there? Given that they've lost the referendum on independence and aren't getting another for at least 40 years, what credibility have they got now? In terms of the Scottish parliament, I'm sure they'll continue to do well. But in terms of the Westminster parliament, I'm not so sure. It's an interesting question, because a strong vote for SNP will hurt Labour and, in the far north, Liberal. It won't damage the Tories at all because they've hardly got any Scottish seats to lose anyway. Conversely, a weakened SNP will benefit Labour and Liberal. Does anybody up there care to commant?

    All the recent polls are showing that SNP will wipe the floor with the rest in Scotland...This for me is disastrous and will aid the Tories..

    I can definitely see them being the surprise package this time. The thing is they're coming off a massive success. Whereas European elections have tended to be minor news in Britain before, Marie le Pen made all the headlines. The fact that one of the E.U.'s two biggest players turned skeptic highlighted the fact that 25% of all Europe turned skeptic as well. It all went towards making UKIP respectable. They're not a fringe party any more. I think they're going to shock a lot of people.

    Living standards have raised 0.1% in the 5 years of Tory government. For the average wage of 26,000pa it's only ten pound a year more than 5 years ago in the recession. Wonder what the working families using food banks in third world Britain feel about the country 'Back on it's feet' long behind schedule and after borrowing **** loads after they promised not to after the last election.

    No idea how they feel mate, i have a good idea how they would feel if labour had got another 5 years though and i dont think they would be doing high fives, just my opinion like.

    As a man, he comes across as very weak. In the dangerous world we live in, I'd be very nervous with him at the helm if the threat of war reared it's ugly head.

    85.7% Labour....I think I'm a fair and reasonable man with a conscience who is quite happy to pay his taxes which can be used to help the less fortunate amongst us and this is reflected in my policy choices.

    The tories look after themselves and their own, they could got give a tinkers cuss over the working man - the rich have got richer, companies have still made obscene profits all at a time when the common man has suffered a tangilble reduction in their wealth and living standards have dropped.

    UKIP are relying upon the immigration issue far too much for my liking and as for taking us out of the EEC? I'm waiting for Nissan to say they will reduce investment in the UK(they have said this before).....you would have thought Cameron would have learn't his lesson over the Scottish election.....people will focus on the immigration issue and not consider the impact in other areas.

    As an aside I'm sure I read that immigrants contribute more in taxes than they take out.

    A Lib Lab pact would be the best option if a hung parliament.

    Thats my thoughts anyway each to their own.

    Not really an opinion though really is it fella? it's a guess. It's like us saying we would have beat Villa if Giacc had been fit, we just don't know. We do know as the country has been 'recovering' Board members have enjoyed bounces and directors have enjoyed their pay rises all while avoiding tax while for five long years thousands of families have struggle to feed their children. People with disabilities have been scrutinised and screened by under qualified contractors before being striped of their benifits, treatment and scocial support, front line services have been starved, councils stripped of their budgets, pensioners robbed of their pensions and young people priced out of an education in what has been the slowest recovery in history. If that's the sort of bag fair do's but I feel like I'm living in Hell fella. Hate this country and I hate what this government has done to it. I've never been so ashamed to be British.

    Why do the Conservative MP's who are in government leave to join UKIP? I honestly don't know.

    Nor I with you fella, just venting with the dissolution. You're a Sunderland fan before a Tory to me fella and I respect your right to vote for who you want and what you feel benefits your personal situation. :)
