Well this is how the Libs did it under Paddy Ashdown winning those 60 odd seats in parliament. Clearly it dose show people are getting fed up with the big three.

They will probably do what Paddy did and target their resources on the seats they believe they have a chance of winning.

It was interesting to see they did nothing in the affluent London area.

Sky news predicts a hung parliament with labour four seats short of total victory.

With one seat? Labour would still need to check the rest out.

As much as I despise the gutless coward, a Lib-Dem King-maker would be better than a UKIP one. Honestly though, I think Labour need to have a good look at the two Eds, because they're not exactly leadership material. Wedge someone into Labours driving seat that isn't under the shadow of the Unions and isn't constantly reacting to the Tories and is instead taking the fight to them actively, then Labour might be able to deliver the killing blow and take the sting out of UKIP.

I have no doubt that Ed Miliband is a good bloke, but it was the wrong brother that got the job.

The thing is labour voters are too brainwashed or stuck in the mud to vote any other way. Their party is so corrupt and leaders should be in prison, and yet the voters still give them a tick, weird. Then they spend 4 years complaining. Labours results in the council elections was as a direct result of the other parties votes going to the UKIP. They didnt actually WIN anything but defaulted.

I really honestly cannot understand why people vote for this trash (Labour). They dont give a damn about their voters, dont care about the people and certainly do not care about the country. In some constituencies, a labour candidate can get elected by having his name on a sheet of paper, and never be seen by anyone - ever!

Oberon · 05-23-14, 03:01 PM

To be fair, all three of the main parties are guilty of that, it's not just a Labour phenomenon.

I think that this pie chart states the real problem, and I don't think that it's one that any party can address. The British public is just sick of politics, of any kind.

In the case of Osbourne he is a criminal, his ponzi housing scheme is getting bigger and now he and dave are getting worried, wonder why?

I want to see those final 11 results before I can have a say. To the remaining 11 councils get out of bed and get the job done, this not America with hanging chads you know.
