Reckon the OP is a tad out of date?

Reckon the OP is a tad out of date?

With what?

 

[Machiavelli]

The BBC's reporting and selection of news items is way left of centre. Milliband would have been given a much rougher ride had they been more to the centre.

You're inhabiting la-la-land. The press set the agenda in this country, and the vast majority are owned by tax exiles, and pursue such an agenda. It's a shame that you want to pursue such an agenda too, because I doubt you're doing too well. This is not a personal comment, merely a reflection of the fact that most aren't, as median wages have been falling for well over a decade.
The BBC is a great organisation, but it's hopelessly timid, and also falls into the tax exiles' agenda, and its political team are laden with Tories, neoliberals and cultural conservatives: Paxman, Robinson, Maitlis, Humphreys and, worst of all, Landale (sp)

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Thank goodness for Milliband,Balls and Nigel which should mean Labour remain as the opposition party.

Labour back to 5 point lead tonight, Survation Lab 34% Con 29% UKIP 23% LDs 6%

That would be a Labour majority of about 60-70 seats I reckon

Hilarious while all the Miliband trashing is going on

Agreed - those Labour MPs sticking the knife into him should just lay low and allow him to lead them to glory.

However even with figures like that they are set for a wipeout in Scotland. With their over-reliance of Scottish mps and the over representation up there, it would mean they have next to no chance of forming an overall majority.

I reckon Gordon will come to the rescue again. He has saved the UK from Cameron's incompetence and weak leadership once this year; he'll do the same in 2015.

I would have no problem with a Labour-SNP coalition, in fact I'd probably prefer it

Not a bad outcome at all. I don't think it will be the Labour Party wipe-out many are predicting though. Either way Ed will be running the show come May.

Ed Miliband PM
Alex Salmond Deputy PM

The Tory press would have something to bitch about then

So Mark Thompson director general of the BBC was making it up when he said that beeb was 'Massively biased towards the left' then??

This is a reference to when he first joined the BBC in the 70s. He has said this not the case now.

You do know Nick Robinson was a Tory activist, right?

Good bit of re-writing of history there. Gordon Brown may well have saved the Better Together campaign from weak leadership but that was the leadership of ..... A.Darling !

I prefer YouGov as a more accurate pollster - Con 32%, Lab 33%, LD 8%, UKIP 15%

The actual referendum was Cameron's doing though. If he was a stronger leader he wouldn't have acquiesced to the vote, and spent the time, effort and money on something much more worthwhile. He's supposed to run the UK, not dismantle it.

He gave them their referendum ..... just as the Scots wanted. None of the party leaders were responsible for the actual campaign and purposely so. It's called democracy and if Labour hadn't been such a bunch of weak livered lying toerags the electorate would have had a say on the Lisbon Treaty. Of course, the moment they saw the polls they knew it was lost so didn't allow it. Labour don't like democracy.
