I ask this as a poll today said only one in ten wants another coalition, with 67% wanting a single party in power.

yes the likelyhood of a n other party getting in is slim but gradully getting better.

I would rather the conservatives get in than Labour (personal choice) but at the end of the day they are all crooked and out for themselves.

That said I guess like most if in the same position would do the same things.

There's a You-Gov Poll in the Sum tomorrow that shows...

Tories 36%
Labour 36%
UKIP 12%
Lib Dems 10%

Two things struck me about this

1. Labour are toast as they should be miles ahead at this point

2. Are there really that many ******* stupid people prepared to vote UKIP, surely they'll sober up by election day?

Not picking on your spelling, Rob. I know it's just a typo error, but it did make me laugh. I first read it as 'texting' with you missing on a 't', and felt quite surprised that this Government is now even texting the rich! How very unfair, I thought.

A couple of UKIP MPs in Parliament would not be so ridiculous IMO.
You say that they do have 12% support and Blair had an outright majority in 2005 with less than triple that amount (35.2%) of the vote.
I personally wouldn't vote for them, but that is neither here nor there.
I wouldn't say they should be denied a voice just because they don't concur with my views on things
I mean we have George Galloway as an MP representing the left - top that for absurdity if you can.

Any coalition that doesn't have Miliband in it is fine by me.

This. I'm happy to take bets from people who are prepared to put their money where their mouth is.

I nailed the local election result and I'm confident on the GE too, all this before the European elections next year (which even the bookies agree that UKIP will be the most popular)

And admittedly unscientific (although they do mention UKIP which YouGov don't specifically ask about) there is this http://www.trendingcentral.com/aol-p...ntary-ransack/

I agree, in fact I'd go further. Let's have PR and a parliament that properly represents the will of the people

Well the obvious question after you 'nailed' an utterly predictable result in the locals is; how many Westminster seats do you think UKIP will win.

The waiting begins...

The only really stupid people here are f**kwits like you who want more of the lying scum we've had in the last 30 years. I can only assume you are part of them!!!

I suspect UKIP will get a seat or two

And that's the beauty of democracy, you have connect with the public and speak about real issues that affect people, which like it or not, the perception is, that UKIP do do

Personally I don't agree with pretty much anything they stand for, apart from Farage,s obvious love of the great British pint

But there you go

You've got me absolutely spot on there. You got the lying scum bit out ok but failed to mention my dashing good looks and cheeky sense of humour

btw have you looked at UKIP's policies. As a work of fiction, contradiction a d half-truths they're a real page-turner.

I like the system we have.
It is so unfit for purpose, that I don't feel any guilt whatever when I don't bother voting in General Elections.

And that differs from those c**ts Cameron and Milliband's policies how? Oh yes it doesn't contain a whole heap of lies!
