Reading a article in today's i newspaper suggested Labour & the Tories carried out research and both came to the same conclusion that we are heading for another hung parliament with the Tories in front again! And the liberals will have a major part in who they will join with. Odds say you know who, if this comes about in 2015 then we are truly boned and time to leave the country..lets hope this is not going to be the case.

If their vote collapses like it should how will the liberals have a major part in anything?

Not disputing what you've said but I'd like to see the source of that information (unless it's a Tory source) because to the best of my knowledge and belief Labour are currently looking like they may not even need Lib Dem support to gain a majority at the next election.

The dark horses next time round with an utimately casting vote may well be UKIP.

BossMark 10-13-12 09:17 AM

Well to be honest they wont be many LibDums left after the next election will they :D:haha:

Jimbuna 10-13-12 09:53 AM

I used to think there were a few years yet before the next election for the electorate to decide if the policies were working but the recent announcement about shaving 10 billion off the welfare bill after the next election has really been a suicidal one.

I'd love to know how many voters they'll have forced onto benefits before the time comes for said election.

The article was written by Andrew Grice, here's some snippets..

Quote:

Several senior Conservatives and Labour figures told me that they thought we could easily have another hung parliament in 2015.

After Nick Clegg vetoed constituency boundary changes that could have given the Conservatives an extra 20 seats, there is growing feeling in senior Tory circles that the party might need the Lib Dems again after 2015...

...in private senior Labour figures admitted its average nine-point lead in the opinion polls could melt away...

Lib Dems are still in the game and could still hold the balance of power in 2015 even if they lose seats.

UKIP costs the Tories the election for over all control...GOOD.

UKIP could very gain more votes in 2015 from Tory voters who are cheesed off.

Remembrance Day 2014: £50m To Mark Milestone

Prime Minister David Cameron has pledged more than £50m will be spent on commemorating the centenary of the First World War.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/remembrance...043539892.html

I have mixed feelings on this one, yes mark the event but £50 million!

£10 million taken away from benefits and more planned cuts in 2014...

BossMark 10-13-12 12:37 PM

Well we know where that 50 million is coming from don't we STEED :yep:

Well the £10 million yes...I have a nasty feeling the other £40 million will also come from the same department over the years if this lot get back in...:nope:

This is what gets me mad, Toff boy bangs on about Labour spent all the money and he is trying to cut the debt and so on, and yet should this government be spending this vast some of money?
