Why does Mick refer to people on here as "lefties",he's a UKIPer no?Hasn't Nigel Garage recently praised ex KGB thug Putin(the Labour left used to love all things Soviet),this along with a virulent anti Europeanism is exactly the ground occupied by the lunatic fringe of the Labour left of the early eighties,Mick is a lefty
CON will get most seats but it won't be a majority. Who will they form a coalition with though? Will Lib get enough seats? SNP might overtake them and they won't team up with the Torys.
Oh dear. Labour big hitter Jack Straw has been caught out in a 'cash for access' sting. His daily rate? £5000 per day. That's over £1.8million per annum. What a plonker.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/investigations/11411007/Jack-Straw-and-Sir-Malcolm-Rifkind-in-latest-cash-for-access-scandal.html

The question of how MPs are to be remunerated needs careful thought.

Why have the latest opinion poll not been posted?

The Tories are pretty nailed on to get most seats. I don't think that's in doubt.

In this spirit here is the poll from Opinium after the budget showing a budget bounce as I predicted.http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/mar/21/budget-bounce-takes-tories-ahead-of-labour-by-three-points-in-the-pollsGet in.Now as to the latest Yougov poll. That is the exception that proves the rule. There is a margin for error in polls and this one is obviously a rogue poll. It would be disingenuous of me to only report on rogue polls which is why I ignored it. But seeing as you lefties have mentioned it I felt I should comment.Sorted.

Or just the polls that don't agree with you?
