I think you will find the LD's losing a lotr more seats to Labour than to the Tories. Tactical voting.
You do realise that what you have described is what Milburn did when Labour were last in, don't you? I don't like the tories, but Cameron is the only leader among them, Miliband is a snidey weasel that will sell everyone out for a grasp at power, just look at the sly way he stabbed his own brother in the back for a grab. Farage would promise everyone a solid gold toilet, and Clegg such a limp lettuce he wouldn't look out of place in a 1970's BR salad.
It was your assumption that he would want labour in when correct me if I'm wrong JK had suggested previously that he had felt 99% sure he wouldn't vote labour but had been slightly impressed by Miliband. It seemed overbearing to me and like a push of your own convictions. That said if people think I was a bit OTT then sorry, it really is our own business who we vote for and I wouldn't criticise anyone who votes any way. This thread has lurched to a very preachy and some times overly critical of oposing view stage and I took your comments as more of this. It's all trivial nonsense anyway the really important stuff kicks off at 12:15 on Saturday Bah!
Weird that the yougov exit poll is quite substantially different CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1
If the yougov poll is correct, I could see a Lab-Lib minority government with a confidence and supply support from SNP, or a Con-Lib-DUP coalition
I suspect (or hope, perhaps) this is more likely. I can't see Lib Dems only getting 10 seats - their MPs tend to be very good at constituency level and they have definitely had more stick than they deserve. I just wish Labour got more votes.
Anyone but Miliband, he's a sly, slimey back-stabber, if we get him as a leader this country will be totally ****ed.
The yougov poll is based on 6000 people across the UK, the combined BBC/ITV/sky poll was of 22,000 people in 140 constituencies. I'd trust the BBC poll more. Tories reckon Ed Balls has been ousted.
Both numbers are minuscule as a percentage of the population. The bbc exit poll doesn't even cover all the marginal seats, so there's ample scope for it being completely wrong. There's quite a lot of stuff online about it being a bit of a cock up. Seems very likely that the Tories are comfortably the largest party though unfortunately
Farage potentially third in his constituency according to Labour, that'd be hilarious. Polls are always going to be off, I'd just trust the BBC one over the yougov one. Not that that means one will be closer to the truth than the other.
Rob from the real results so far there has only been a Max 5% swing from con to lab and in fact in the last result there was a 7% swing from lab to UKIP!
Sounds like high turn out & tactical voting are going to see Farge fall short, however I don't think there's any doubt that UKIP are going to get a massive amount ofvotes across the country.
