That's really quite funny Wilts. Our Resident Idiot didn't know that the Tory party comprises the Conservative AND the Unionist parties. Has done for a very long time too. So the Tory party of which he is so proud have had a significant stake in Northern Ireland for a very long time. They do care. They have to. Why, do you think. the Tory govt has not attacked the funding of N Ireland to anything like the degree it has in Wales, Scotland and northern England?! Mick lad. It's time you stopped frothing at the mouth and learned a few facts. Even though I can't see your posts you are making me laugh out loud just about every single day still. This one's a cracker. Go do another one. You might just calm down a bit and be able to learn to think before you write.BobG
You're just like Pavlov's dog y'know Mick.BobG
Pavlov's dog redoubled! You really are very funny Mick. You are so, so, SO bloody predictable. It's hysterical. I bet I could tell you what your next post is going to be about.Love an kissesBobG
Ooh I love it when someone abuses me personally by name - it means you are really getting to them. No need to answer the question about TTIP Bob, it is actually about Mick's ability to read and the extend of his truthfullness and dishonesty. Which I have conclusively proven is non-existant.And just to confirm that he claims to have known something that his earlier statement shows he didn't! Contradictory as ever.Should I add this to your list of apologies Mick or do you prefer to give me one all-embracing one?
Yes I saw that as well, I'm inclined to follow bet fair though as opposed to the polls. To be honest in truth I don't think anyone has a clue what will happen, I think there could be a very turbulent month coming up, and it might end up being uncertain for a lot longer than that. I think the chances of another GE in the next year is only about 3/1 ish.

One thing is pretty clear. Whoever is PM after next week, we are going to be in utterly unchartered waters. It's not going to be like 2010 where there was a solid numerical majority for a pair of parties combined. It wasn't absolutely nailed in in those circumstances that there HAD to be a stable coalition (could have been a minority Tory Govt with LD support on a case by case basis). But once the LDs had chosen to go the coalition route, that WAS a stable grouping. This is not going to happen after next week. Firstly, unless the polls are way off or unless there is a major swing in the last week, no pair of parties are going to have anything close to even a wafer-thin majority, nevermind the clunking great 60-odd seat majority that the current coalition has had. So, whoever does manage to cobble something together next week, it'll be a rickety edifice, relying on back room deals and arm-twisting to work. It'll mean that the PM has the outward appearance of being weak, even though behind the scenes, there'll be some fearfully hard and tough politicking going on. Just remember that it could be either Miliband or Cameron who ends up in the unenviable position. The loser will make a big play on the winner being a haplessly weak PM, at the beck and call of smaller parties. That will be irrelevant. The winner will be trying to do their best with a horrifically difficult situation. Fascinating politics, the like of which we've never seen in this country.

Why on earth do you think I now want Labour to form a minority government? It will be shambolic from start to finish (2 years max). Look what's happened to them in Scotland. The same thing can happen to them in England.If I were you I'd be voting to keep Labour out. I still think the Tories will get an overall majority. Worst case they'll form a coalition with the LibDems again.I'm praying I'm wrong as a Labour victory will see them finished.Come on Ed! Get your finger out!

Who did you think would pull away Bpool?

It's understandable given how often he's made a cock of himself by predicting that A would happen only to see B happen, where B is the complete opposite of A. But I'm sure there's a word for people like that. Not sure which one matches best. Spineless?Gutless?Laughable?Take your pick.
