It's within the margin of error. It would be a catastrophe for the BBC if Farage were to lose here, so I fully expect them to step up to the plate for him.

I'm paying little attention to what England does this GE, excepting that the Tories get a workable majority, but I'll be out in the street dancing if Farage fails, especially if he subsequently resigns. That and Bradford West.

Beginning to think that only posting animal porn in these threads will get the attention of the mods. Stop replying to the fascist troll, idiots.

If Ukip win any seats whatsoever - and particularly if Farage gets in - the media will talk about absolutely nothing else for the next month. It might be just the cover required for UDI, in fact, such will be the degree of complete absence of coverage of anything non-Ukip.

You're a fucking imbecile, and not a very well-read one.

Are there 30 million of you? Back up what you said.

If you can, pet, try to draw up a table of any other 30 million people in the UK that wouldn't have decided an election one way or another in 90% of postwar elections.

The point is not "Scotland never gets who it votes for", it's that "Scotland's votes are irrelevant in who it gets". We might as well not even get given a vote.

The Labour leadership and much of the top brass in the wider party literally cheered when he was elected.

Why not just throw out all the thick fucking bigots? Unlike "benefit scroungers", folk like Pete's Frontier are quite easy to identify.

Oh right. I missed the spoiler tag.

You pay your £500, you get to stand on whatever you like. I fail to see how one comedian doing a pretty weak spoof somehow imperils our democracy.

Because they're either a) racists or b) so incredibly uninformed as to believe that a Tory splinter group whose elected MPs are all literally sitting Tory MPs who defected are some sort of establishment protest vote. That's the entirety of the reasons to vote Ukip.

Far less than our trolls would imagine. This is the biggest electoral event in UK bookkeeping history by a long chalk. The bookies most certainly don't have anything like the sort of analytical infrastructure around electoral events that they do for sporting ones. I'm somewhat amazed any of them are still taking bets right now considering that McBookie at least have said they'll lose a fucking fortune on a Yes.

And listen to other economists who give comfort based on facts. There won't be an economic depression: apparently human organs sell for a fortune on the black market, and we'll have just shy of 50% of the electorate to harvest from. I'd be asking my parents to invest in a cabin in the hills right now if I were you Seamus.

Kevin Bridges was perfectly correct that half the country could pass their higher Modern Studies after the referendum. An awful lot of people who previously had no knowledge of politics beyond hereditary tribal allegiances have gotten themselves greatly clued up on it. I don't have the slightest idea what 16-year-olds are thinking, but I've no reason to believe they're fundamentally less well educated on the matters at hand than any other random segment of the population.

Aye, but, Lex signed it twice, so eh, aye, there you go.

Look, the residence thing is a fudge. Scots who happen to live in England right now but are planning on moving back are perfectly entitled to feel a little aggrieved about not getting a vote when English students are. But there are practical reasons for that. End of story. I've also got a feeling that those agitating for Scottish ex-pats to get a vote might be surprised as to what way they go, if they're happy living in England.

I'm getting my wanking mitts ready for our 10-2 moment then.

Salmond would have to personally locate and reanimate Osama Bin Laden's corpse for the Yes vote to finish below 43%. Absolutely buying money.

:lol:

You're an obsessive poll respondent and your politics are wack, son. That's the point.

Well well well.

Going out to Bradford. Two late Bradford goals within seconds of one another. Is there actually a book on how many managers they'll chew through this season?

He's in over his head, but you'd be utterly mad to be in his position and not to take a job at one of England's historically biggest clubs if you were offered it. It's not going to harm his future employment prospects in non league at all, and it'll pay his mortgage off. The embarrassment is the barking mentalist that appointed him.
