Is it really that shameful to vote Conservative that it's the leading poll result so far, but no one has owned up to it yet by posting??! Must admit that's pretty close to my preferences, but, the thing I am really struggling with is the EU Referendum. I am pro Europe, and am worried about the idea of the unsettling effect that the prospect of the referendum will have on our economy until 2017.. also the prospect of the Tories getting in bed with UKIP to form a coalition scares the frig out of me. What a mess!
There is absolutely no point the Tories doing a deal with UKIP, and here's why it will not happen:
UKIP are going to win - at an absolute maximum, a very unlikely six seats - on current trends they will win either three or four. (Clacton - nailed on, South Thanet - 9 points clear for Farage, Thurrock - ahead in the polls and IMO one of Rochester & Strood, Greater Grimsby and Boston & Skegness.
IF - the Tories were only six seats short of a majority - then there would be no point in going with UKIP, the Conservatives would side with the Unionists in Northern Ireland who will win either eight or nine seats. Of course the full name of the party is the Conservative and Unionist Party.
A deal with UKIP doesn't strike a cord with me either - but it won't happen - simply because of the maths.
