Firstly, sorry for the other threads started regarding this issue; that is a tad annoying.
MODS; if you want to make this the 'official' thread of the Gen elections then go ahead.

Anyway...

It is great to see so many replies, and it is extremely interesting reading through your opinions with one another.

There is a lot of talk this morning about the SNP gaining a large proportion of votes; they are the last people i want in Westminster.

It does appear i am swinging to a Tory vote, although i am still hesitant about this!

I have read through the different links people have put up; i suppose it leads me to propse this question to the HOL'ers;

Who do you think will win the election and why?

Fortunately or unfortunately you have no say in the matter. You aren't a Scottish voter (I presume) and so have no impact in the consitutencies that can actually vote for SNP candidates.

And they will win seats in some of those constituencies and so they will enter Westminster. And will have every right to do so.

If you mean you don't want them in government, then you have slightly more say, but still pretty much nil. Unless you're in one of the key swing consitutencies in the UK then your vote will have no impact on the outcome of the election.

And that is the FPP system of democracy that we have in this country.

No one will win the next general election. I think the biggest single party will be the Tories, but in all likelihood the Lib Dems won't have enough seats to get them to another coalition government. Which means it will either be a minority administration or Labour and the SNP and the Lib Dems and the Greens may be able to form a slightly 'grander' coalition if the electoral maths works.


I think that the very possibility of a SNP-Labour coalition should be broadcast from every vantage point from now until the election and maybe this will be enough to focus minds and get people voting. I'd rather a Labour majority, than a Lab/SNP alliance in Gov.


I would be inclined to change those words to "Conservative majority" as I certainly do not want another Labour government undoing all the good work being done and descend again into another big recession with the way Labour like to spend spend spend and spend. I also like a military deterrent that will be scrapped if the other parties get in...Be safe and FEEL safe is my motto.


I would much rather an outright Tory majority too, the point I was trying to make is that I'd next rather a Labour Government than a Lab-SNP coalition - which at the moment seems to be the most likely outcome.

WHO in their right mind would like red ED in number 10 either on a majority or in a coalition.....Either way he would wreck the country like boy Blair did!!! Gos forbid if he ever gets in.....


Maybe I'm not in my right mind, but I'm pro Union and so therefore don't want the SNP anywhere near No 10 - and as a prefered alternative would have a Labour Government.

I too dislike the idea of the SNP getting anywhere near being in our government that is why it is imperative that we have an outright win by the conservatives which is my preferred alternative.


I think many may adopt this view!

UKIP have gone AWOL i think and this is a three horse race; 2 if you consider the options.

Torie led government.

Labour/SNP

The latter sounds somewhat disturbing.


It's difficult to argue with the numbers - with the SNP looking like getting a landslide in Scotland - every bookie has a Lab-SNP Gov as clear favorite. The only way to stop this is to vote Tory right across England and hope that UKIP doesn't take too many disaffected blue voters with them.

I'd be happy with SNP / Lab. At least the SNP are vaguely to the left of centre. They might drag labour away from being right of centre.

If you're in an area that heavily votes in one direction, unfortunately your vote doesn't hold a great deal of value. It's funny that people feared PR due to the idea of coalitions, but that's what we ended up with anyway.

We were favourite to beat Liverpool in the cup.....Bookies DO get it wrong sometimes!???

 

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

I would not be happy Nick as England would be sold down the river with the SNP pulling the strings to puppet Ed and we would end up with more debt and a bigger deficit than before I am afraid.
I really think the British people will think very wisely when they put their crosses on the ballot papers. Many will return to the conservative fold and not vote for UKIP as that would be a really wasted vote.

Granted, but if the SNP get 52 seats, Labour would need just over 270 seats - with the Lib Dems stuggling, that is looking increasingly possible.

People still voted for Blair and he must of known Harmon knew,as does Hodge,they are still voted for.

Firstly, sorry for the other threads started regarding this issue; that is a tad annoying.
MODS; if you want to make this the 'official' thread of the Gen elections then go ahead.

Anyway...

It is great to see so many replies, and it is extremely interesting reading through your opinions with one another.

There is a lot of talk this morning about the SNP gaining a large proportion of votes; they are the last people i want in Westminster.

It does appear i am swinging to a Tory vote, although i am still hesitant about this!

I have read through the different links people have put up; i suppose it leads me to propse this question to the HOL'ers;

Who do you think will win the election and why?

Fortunately or unfortunately you have no say in the matter. You aren't a Scottish voter (I presume) and so have no impact in the consitutencies that can actually vote for SNP candidates.

And they will win seats in some of those constituencies and so they will enter Westminster. And will have every right to do so.

If you mean you don't want them in government, then you have slightly more say, but still pretty much nil. Unless you're in one of the key swing consitutencies in the UK then your vote will have no impact on the outcome of the election.

And that is the FPP system of democracy that we have in this country.

No one will win the next general election. I think the biggest single party will be the Tories, but in all likelihood the Lib Dems won't have enough seats to get them to another coalition government. Which means it will either be a minority administration or Labour and the SNP and the Lib Dems and the Greens may be able to form a slightly 'grander' coalition if the electoral maths works.


I think that the very possibility of a SNP-Labour coalition should be broadcast from every vantage point from now until the election and maybe this will be enough to focus minds and get people voting. I'd rather a Labour majority, than a Lab/SNP alliance in Gov.


I would be inclined to change those words to "Conservative majority" as I certainly do not want another Labour government undoing all the good work being done and descend again into another big recession with the way Labour like to spend spend spend and spend. I also like a military deterrent that will be scrapped if the other parties get in...Be safe and FEEL safe is my motto.


I would much rather an outright Tory majority too, the point I was trying to make is that I'd next rather a Labour Government than a Lab-SNP coalition - which at the moment seems to be the most likely outcome.

WHO in their right mind would like red ED in number 10 either on a majority or in a coalition.....Either way he would wreck the country like boy Blair did!!! Gos forbid if he ever gets in.....


Maybe I'm not in my right mind, but I'm pro Union and so therefore don't want the SNP anywhere near No 10 - and as a prefered alternative would have a Labour Government.

I too dislike the idea of the SNP getting anywhere near being in our government that is why it is imperative that we have an outright win by the conservatives which is my preferred alternative.


I think many may adopt this view!

UKIP have gone AWOL i think and this is a three horse race; 2 if you consider the options.

Torie led government.

Labour/SNP

The latter sounds somewhat disturbing.


It's difficult to argue with the numbers - with the SNP looking like getting a landslide in Scotland - every bookie has a Lab-SNP Gov as clear favorite. The only way to stop this is to vote Tory right across England and hope that UKIP doesn't take too many disaffected blue voters with them.


We were favourite to beat Liverpool in the cup.....Bookies DO get it wrong sometimes!???


Granted, but if the SNP get 52 seats, Labour would need just over 270 seats - with the Lib Dems stuggling, that is looking increasingly possible.

I think we will all be shocked at the results when they come in at the election and probably find that all the speculation on Labour and SNP seats will be wrong. The Libs will get a pasting and so will UKIP I think as they have been going down in the polls a bit....Perhaps people have woken up to the fact that a UKIP vote is a wasted vote?


Will people vote for Cameron if it comes to light that he's been involved in suppressing investigations into paedophilia?

People still voted for Blair and he must of known Harmon knew,as does Hodge,they are still voted for.

Did people know that Harman knew at the time (if she did)?
Best case scenario would be that the whole lot of them are brought down.
