Fide Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I would LOVE it if the likes of Gordon Brown and Jim Murphy lost their seats. #gettaefuck #wankfest Gordon Brown, like fellow shiter Alistair Darling, is stepping down. Perhaps they sensed the inevitable capitulation of Slab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Gordon Brown won his seat by over 23,000 votes last time round, despite this I will give you really good odds on Gordon Brown not being an MP after the election. Whatever you give, I'll give better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any article in which the writer declares that he is a Scot has a common theme. The fact that he has to declare this as if this somehow makes his opinion more informed is absolutely tragic.

HTG Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 My word. Can't see a comments facility but the short answer to the question is "naw". And why should he. Do we get this pish thrown at the Lib Dems? If the SNP become the third largest party they better get ready for a whole fuckin heap of noise.

Granny Danger Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think a Tory majority is looking likelier and likelier as the days go past. What do you base this on? The national polls have Labour and the Tories neck and neck. The Ashcroft constituency polls, which are far more precise given there sample size in relation to the area polled, are showing Labour doing better in the marginal English seats where the real fight between these two parties is taking place.

bob the tank Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/general-election-2015/politics-blog/11493741/Will-Alex-Salmond-ever-shut-up.html Oooft, you can taste the seethe. After reading the comments section, I can't see any way the 'union' is going to last very long if the SNP return a significant amount of MPs. Anti Scots sentiments are only part of it. Most of the comments mention socialism, working class and democracy as if they aren't worth anything in the modern together Britain. The gap between Scottish and English thinking is now massive as shown here and on the last few Question Times I have watched. The end is definitely in sight for the UK.

FFS They are absolutely desperate for the Yes movement to go back into its box and never come out again. They still haven't learned anti Scottish rhetoric is a big reason why Yes got to 45% in the first place.

DC92 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Another 6 weeks of big bad Scotland and the SNP and anything is possible. The Tories finished 11.5 points ahead of Labour in England last time and they didn't win a majority then. Now they're within a few points of each other in England in spite of all the Salmond scaremongering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If the outcome is a dead heat as the polls are predicting I suspect a Con/Lab pact will be a much more likely outcome than SNP propping up Milliband. The reasons, or excuses, they will make for this unlikely alliance will have everything to do with preserving the union. The seeds were well and truly sown for such a pact during the referendum campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What future would there be for dozens of MPs representing working class areas of England and Wales if they went into any sort of pact with the Tories. It would rip the Labour Party apart. The media down south may be going full pelt in demonising the SNP for electoral reasons but do you really think it is what is uppermost in the mind of English Labour MPs and voters?

Is your memory so far gone that you can't remember Tony Blair and "New Labour" virtually cleaning up in what was once regarded as Tory heartland? Labour and Conservative are now virtually interchangeable. It has nothing to do with working class areas of England and Wales, or anywhere else. Are you stuck in some kind of time warp?

Ed will talk big about not doing any deals with the SNP, but when the elections settled. He'll likely sell his soul to have a majority government.

P45 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'd love the Tories to align with Labour out of fear of the SNP. I don't think either party could do it though. They'd be turning their backs on most of their voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
