It is a matter of who we trust and that is not easy, as long as the SNP Don,t get in.

l suppose at the end of the day voters will have to choose the least worse option nash but sadly the candidates we have to choose from are poor to say the least.

I think we're heading for a coalition. Either Labour/Liberal Democrats or a Tory/Lib-Dem one like this time.

We could get a Labour/SNP confidence and supply agreement too. The SNP are looking likely to be the third biggest party but are unlikely to get a coalition government ahead of a 2016 election in Scotland.

Still it's hard to see how Cameron can remain Prime Minster at the moment. The electoral maths doesn't help them at all.
There wasn't an awful lot wrong with the polls in 1992. The problem was, people *lied*. They didn't want to admit they were voting for the nasty party. Right up to and including the exit polls. But they had looked at Neil Kinnock and thought "no way".

IMHO the really nasty party is the party which lied and spun it's way into power, cynically saying one thing whilst doing another. They're worse than the supposed 'fat cat Tory toffs' they perennially try to smear in order to gain favour yet waste no time emulating when they get the chance whether in or out of office.

Probably more because they're all steadilly descending into the gutter. That always makes the last lot worse than their predecessors.;) Mind you having said that New Liebour was a quantum leap into the abyss.

Yes Den and when they are caught cheating they say " It was an error of judgement" and then they get an extra bonus.

David Cameron scared of TV election debates, say rivals

If that man wants people to vote for him and his party he should take part in these debates. At the moment he looks weak and cowardly.

He has changed the goal posts constantly over these debates just like he will over a referendum, the way it looks he will not get the chance anyway as who would vote for a weak cowardly politician who cannot face his opponents in a debate.

Apparently, debates are only good for those opposing the sitting person (in this case, it would be good for Miliband, etc. but bad for Cameron). So if this is indeed the case, then of course Cameron will be scared. What Cameron needs is for Mili-Bean to be caught insulting voters before the election, a la Brown and his bigoted woman slip.

I feel insulted every time Miliband opens his mouth. :LOL:

A poll also suggested they would win the referendum.
