ayrmad Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Unlike this fool, I don't think the Tories have a chance of a majority. I think they'll do better than expected though, maybe enough to scrape together a working majority coalition. http://news.stv.tv/scotland-decides/news/318890-scots-pensioner-places-30000-bet-on-tory-election-majority/?ns_campaign=STVemail&ns_mchannel=dailynewsletter&ns_source=stvtoday300415 A pensioner with a spare £30k in his hip pocket doesn't point to him being a fool IMO.

The Master Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Labour not need an extra one as they're providing the speaker? Bercow is nominally a Conservative. But it makes no odds because he stands as "Speaker" so can simply be removed from the total number of MPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Anyone have any idea when the next UK wide poll is due? This came out about two hours ago: Latest Ipsos-MORI poll (26 - 28 Apr): CON - 35% (+2) LAB - 30% (-5) UKIP - 10% (-) GRN - 8% (-) LDEM - 8% (+1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The Tories will be the biggest party, but will not form Government. Which should simultaneously delight and dismay Jim Murphy. My moron mate can't get it into his head, that the biggest party doesn't automatically form government. He's utterly brainwashed into thinking so, and would latch onto everything labour say.

He's utterly brainwashed into thinking so, and would latch onto everything labour say. It's down to very simple maths. There are 650 seats. Half of 650 is 325. 325 + 1 = majority. If you can get to 326 by any means, bingo. It's genuinely not that hard. Your mate's a zoomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously only one poll but supports the latest Ashcroft one. Bit worrying tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fide Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 The absolute ideal would be a Tory/UKIP majority with 59 SNP members at Westminster. That would hasten the day of Independence. Nothing else matters to me. Couldn't agree less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else matters to me. UKIP They will be lucky to get 2 seats. Any Tory Gov't would be propped up by the Lib Dems and The DUP before UKIP.

FuzzyAffro Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 That's complete nonsense. A Tory government does nothing for independence, absolutely nothing at all, and guarantees we won't get another referendum any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
