What about her wanting the nasty party to win shocking

But she is willing to support the ******* party on a case by case basis.....

Apart from her being tasty, and that bird from Plaid Cymru, l think the election will be good for the country.

At last we have a fight on our hands - I can see Cameron losing and it being SNP/Labour coalition - More of Nicola please

Nicola Sturgeon isn't standing to be an MP, Arthur. She already has a job in the Scottish parliament. If the SNP does as well as is predicted, it will be Alex Salmond you see more of.

I see you still haven't decided if you're a strong Labour supporter or not. Almost all SNP gains in Scotland will be at the expense of Labour. Hoping for that outcome is a pretty odd way of showing support for the party you claim to love.

If Labour get in next we can expect to see another one of these in 5 years time.

The famous there is no money left note.

I'm quite fearful of seeing a puppet Labour government at the behest of UNITE and the SNP.

According to their spending plans they need to find an extra £3,000 per household over the next 5 years. They've ruled out VAT and Income tax RATE changes but you can bet they'll pick your pockets for it in the same way they did last time.

Look forward to the return of the duty escalators and new stealth taxes.

Yes, but that in some people's view, is some one else's problem......

If you're English it's certainly your problem - the Scots obviously want austerity rollback which they themselves can't fund as they're already in receipt of a lot more spending per head than the additional taxes they pay over rUK, and Plaid Cymru want the same deal Scotland have which would leave Wales even more heavily subsidised.

The main casualties of this would likely end up being the south west and north of England, both of whom get nothing beyond part of the bill and don't yet have the strong private sector the south east and London have.

So does the rest of the UK. It's the deficit.

Which will be a lot more difficult to shift and the burden of which will fall a lot harder on the English when the Scottish deficit hits £1,000 more per head than rUK in 2016-17, let alone giving the same funding settlement to the Welsh who would run a considerably larger deficit still due to considerably lower tax revenues per head.

Give them the fiscal independence they so want and then let the SNP explain to the Scots why they want to jack their taxes up by 10% across the board

I see that ******* Blier has come out from under his stone today to spin another good yarn.

According to the liar even giving the people a choice on the EU will bring about armageddon and the rise of the four horsemen.

In response to Blair's comments, Conservative Chancellor George Osborne rejected the idea that the referendum would deter investors, citing continued inward investment since his party first made the pledge.

"He's doing a good service to us all today by ... advertising the fact that if you vote Conservative, you get a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union," Osborne told a news conference.

This is impressive.

So many of the things that people may find repulsive about this general election campaign in a single article.

Tony Blair, the wannabe ruler of Europe, dancing to the EU tune while simultaneously refusing to give unqualified support to Ed Milliband because he, like the rest of us, knows that Ed is abysmal.

The Liberal Democrats fear mongering about how the Tories would be in hock to a UKIP that will get at most half a dozen seats, but the solution is of course to ensure that the Liberal Democrats get enough MPs to form part of a coalition.

The Conservatives making it very clear what a waste of time their promise of a referendum is given they already say that they want the UK to remain in a 'reformed' EU leaving, exactly as Douglas Carswell said, masses of wiggle room for cosmetic changes to the relationship they can claim are reform enough to do what Cameron clearly has always wanted and campaign for an 'in' vote.

Beyond comedy. Beyond farce. Purely depressing. I am 36 years old, the first general election I could vote in I was 18, and I have never wanted to spoil the ballot so strongly.

I do not think Blair will help the Labour in any way. He should have stayed out of it,

I will make my decision on who i will vote for if i vote in the booth on the day depending on what is best for me and my family. That is why i have not been following the second by second crap that is all over the news.
