Well it won't be clegg and if i have to choose between Gb or DC i am a tory because with what we have already lost under this labour government the idea of them in power and the stunts they would pull if they did get elected send shivers down my spine. Also have none of the rabid tory haters spotted the fact they always have to do lousy things because a certain other party was in power before them.

Think we'd be at 90% taxation with 90% of those working, which wouldn't be many thanks to a comprehensive and overgenerous welfare scheme, employed by the government by then. Doesn't appeal.

I would hope the Tories can't mess it up so severely. They should simply make getting the (unelected) Dark Lord out of politics a selling point. That should get the a few votes. Duplicious <bleep> that he is, going behind his alleged bosses back while picking his own promotions and side moves - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ign-envoy.html

Could we please make some effort to keep this thread on the subject proposed by the thread starter: namely, the likelihood and possible consequences of a hung parliament after the election.

We have plenty of Tory-bashing, Labour-bashing, <Insert whipping boy of your choice>-bashing threads already and if this is going to be just another one, it will be getting closed pretty soon.

Thank you, now play nicely.

I cannot see any circumstance where a hung parliament would be any good at all for this country given what is going to be needed to be done to get us out of the mess we are in. Whether it be one party or another i think we need to have a clear majority for one of the partys in order to get anything done.

Surely they would have to call another election pretty soon if they got a Hung parliament. The Liberal Democrats would probably team with Labour and manage to get a few of their wishes listened too.

There is absolutely no chance of the Lib Dems teaming up with Labour in the event of a hung parliament. The Lib Dems have enough sense to realise that it would be political suicide in the long term to be seen to be propping up a worn-out and unpopular government that has just lost an election.

This is why the SNP is running Scotland at the moment - Labour and the Lib Dems have enough seats between them to have continued in office but the Lib Dems walked away from it.

Sorry to burst your perpetual Labour fantasy Damien, but you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that very soon, they are going to be out of office.

Unfortunately I can't see this happening, people in this country are too set in their ways & haven't got the bottle to take a risk on the unknown. TBH I'm sick to the back teeth with 2 party politics, they're both as bad as each other. I reckon we need a military coup.
