Not sure if this has been posted before but it looks quite handy:

If Toff Dave is voted back in some good news looks like he will have to stand aside before the full term.

Cameron would have to step down early if re-elected

Election 2015: How close are you to the political centre?

Take the test
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-31973051

Your answers place you on the left of the political centre in comparison with the overall population in 2014.
You scored 9 out of 25

A score of 5 is the furthest left and 25 is the furthest right. Your answers would place you a long way from the political centre in any year but you would have been closest to the centre of political opinion in 1995 and 1996.

UPDATE POLL
Just watched the paper review on SKY and some poll puts the Torie 4% in front of labour. Come Tuesday a different poll will put labour in front and then back to 30% each and...You get the picture.

Today the official campaign starts with posh Dave visiting the queen to dissolve parliament.
There is 38 days until polling day.

Two interesting articles from the Think Scotland website:

A stark choice, but do Scots really realise it?
http://www.thinkscotland.org/thinkcu...nkscotland.org

Scotland's social attitudes are not as different to the rest of the UK as it likes to think they are:
http://www.thinkscotland.org/todays-...nkscotland.org

Both very good points, especially the latter article. I've seen the same point raised a number of times before.

A very interesting poll out today about voting intentions in London

[STEED]

Woohoo roll out the Tanks guys its our time, we have no government, up the revolution.

Joking aside I feel we need a revolution a revolution too change our out of date/touch political system which needs big change, saying that I know it will never happen.

OK back on track.

If Cameron wins he will introduce that remaining 70% of cuts, the Tories have never hid that fact. If you think that 30% was bad the remaining will be worst.

David Cameron and the national debt monster in three charts

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/gene...ee-charts.html

The Coalition took office in 2010 and said it wanted to clear the deficit by 2015/16. Having missed that target, Mr Cameron's plans now clear the deficit by 2018/19.

They got no where near it so if your a betting man place your bet they will not clear it by 2018/19 if he gets back in.

Election choice isn’t as ‘stark’ as David Cameron wants you to think

Dose suggests to me what I know.

Well so far I have not been pleased in what I am hearing from Con/Lab seems to me BS and lies. UKIP doing there normal act nothing new from them and the Libs where are they?

Can any of them tell the truth?

Interesting thread

Now I can read comments from ordinary Englishmen.

Going to be interesting to see the comments, after one of the parties have won the election.

I think that's one of the reasons that it's going to be one of the most unpredictable elections in a generation. No-one believes any of the main parties any more. I predict that turn-out will be pretty low and it's going to result in a Hung Parliament, which means it'll be a mad dash to form a coalition.

I'd wet myself laughing if Labour and the Conservatives had to form a coalition. It's possible, but my God it would be like the US political system, total gridlock.

What they really are saying is they the bosses or should I say scum bosses would have to pay the mansion tax. And not forgetting a 50 pence income tax rate which would upset their goal of screwing the workers with minimum hour contracts. Wake up Britain these pigs want to take this country back to the days of the work house. And the Tories will gladly help them along with that plan!
