Are the tories really going to walk the UK election...

[Dr Mindbender]

...after brown's embarressing gaffe this week and TV hustings putting the tories opinion polls over 40% and labour at 25%?

The annoying thing is had brown stood up the 'immigration' woman and held his theoretical ground then he could have turned it against the tin hat brigade. Although i suppose thats the cowardice you have to expect from a spineless reformist goon.

In my opinion a Tory victory is pretty much set in stone now, but Labour could pull through, stranger things have happened, I'm not counting on it though. For what it's worth I totally agree with Brown calling that hag a bigot, just wish he'd done it to her face

^ if he had of said it to her face he might have picked up a few more votes. :)

Labour-LibDem coalition perhaps? Better than the tories.

Clegg said he doesnt want to work with Brown.

As much as i loathe a return to the tory days im not sure how a coalition goverment would run in this country (the United Kingdom). It sounds like a massive clusterfuck.

The thing that pisses me off a tad is that living in a devolved region i have no say in the final outcome despite the fact that we are still under the de facto governance of westminster. Roll on a UI.

Everyone talks like we have no freedom of speech/expression when it comes to questioning immigration and showing national pride. Like we are all living in an authoritarian 1984 style nanny state run by 'politcal correctness gone mad' and the 'health and safety brigade'.

The funniest thing about this is that the UK has an openly proud history of being bigots, why are people so surprised? Its not like he called her a fat old hag or something like that.

I mean ffs! Has anyone really been arrested for wearing an England shirt yet? Little Britian (aka 'silent majority':rolleyes:) - grow up & FUCK OFF!

The Tories will let Vince Cable do all the nasty cuts, and then call an early election, blaming all the shit on the LibDems and they need an absolute majority to govern properly. Since they will have slow-walked electoral reform - say it doesn't kick in for another 5 years - they'll win a huge majority on 40ish percent of the vote. And then, if they can, they'll make the system even less democratic.

I am completely sick of this whole election 'fever'. It's is complete bollocks. All these elections do is give the impression that all their is to politics is three Capitalist parties which all say similar things and offer nothing to ordinary people. I find all the parties' messages offensive to working people everywhere. People think I am some apathetic angsty teenager because I say I wouldn't vote for anyone, that is what these elections do, they want to project that all there is to politics is voting, they help keep ideas of popular decision making and self management as far fetched fantasises and give the idea that all people can do is select from a list of three right wing parties and that is what real democracy is, deciding your leaders. I hate the whole thing.

No lie, that woman was a fucking bigot.

[Antifa94]

mindbender, do you pay any attention to the news whatsoever? There's a libdem surge. There will either be a hung parliament(narrow tory popular majority) in which there will be a libdem-tory coalition, with libdems mainly controlling the government, or an absolute libdem majority, or a libdem-labour coalition.
Read British newspapers, for chrissakes.

Popular vote does not necessarily reflect the outcome of the election though antifa

[Antifa94]

It has a significant impact.
The tories most likely will win the election, but have little power.

I think that's the point the OP was making...
