General Election 2015

[daveinprague]

Holy shit Farage has been exposed. Don't think it will make any difference Dave, people will still be voting for UKIP whatever on Thursday. Honestly what would you like to see happen to UKIP by Friday, and what happens if they have a good night?

Yeah the same people will be voting, but by all accounts, its now down to 14% rather than the 'high' of 15%.
UKIP by Friday? They will carry on with probably a new leader...as even many UKIP supporters believe he is what holds everything together, I think losing his target seat would be fairly catastrophic for the group along with possibly one MP. I seriously doubt they will have a good night mate tbh.

Yes Nigel..of course..

Either he doesn't want his expenses made public, or he doesn't know what he is voting for; if he made a mistake on this whose to say he wont make a mistake and vote to stay in the EU!

Anyone considering voting for this goon to be their MP needs to seriously have a think if it would be a good idea, and quire probably anyone considering UKIP generally...

The Independent has today backed another 5 years of Con/Lib coalition.

Not very independent then

I see following on from Jo Brand, Martin Freeman and Steve Coogan, Labour have now rolled out the biggest celebrity endorsement of them all.

Haven't you figured it out by now ? UKIP may have a national poll share of 14% or 15% but in certain seats this is much larger to the point they can actually win a few seats. There is also the lesser of two evils tactical vote to be considered as well. Will Labour voters whose party are trailing in 3rd in these seats vote UKIP to stop the Conservatives winning ? UKIP could actually help Labour become the party with the most seats come Friday.

This does however beg the BIGGER question. With which Blue Peter presenter would you most like to get jiggy with?

Im sure they will help Labour, although, I think the Tories will win, but I cant see UKIP winning a few seats at all. One retained if they are lucky (Carswell). We will see I guess.

An extremely tough call between an 80s Sarah Greene and Konnie huq.

I have to agree there. GREENE has however matured well.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

"spectre" is very appropriate, feared but really just an illusion of something.

The spectre is only a menace until it is invoked and then it becomes a reality.

All. Day. Long

That sounds like a sheldon line from Big Bang theory

Valerie Singleton, or if unavailable due to a book signing/after dinner speech then Lesley Judd

I have a VERY good story about Valerie Singleton from way back when. She was a guest speaker at the Cambridge Union society, and after the debate..................

Was there some stickyback plastic involved?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'll be organising a nice selection of craft beers plus nibbles and a bottle of Champagne in the fridge ready for the decisive moment....whenever that will come.

Whatever your political persuasion, it is guaranteed to be a fascinating night and I, for one, can't wait.

Who else is planning on an all-nighter?

Thursday finish about 4 p.m., home and kip 4.30 - 9.30 p.m., up all night, food and beverages planned (no booze as driving early doors). A mixture of BBC, twitter and FB for company.

Watch 8.30, then off to golf, lunch and a few beers. (and an early night!)
