you're not the only one...I want to cry....
Last night was the most depressing think I have ever seen.
it's like living in al alternative reality, apparently austerity is bad and the solution is to spend spend spend, the deficit and national debt don't matter.
we are the next Greece.

Maybe the much despised idea of ID cards might have helped with this problem if electronic voter validation was available at the polling booth.
It will mostly be those who aren't overly bright or interested who will lose the right to votehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3042683/Th...

Hmm.
What would be the bargaining tool for a coalition for keeping Trident? A second referendum for devolution in 2017?
I caught an interview with an SNP spokesman this morning on Radio 4 where the Trident issue was raised.What would be the bargaining tool for a coalition for keeping Trident? A second referendum for devolution in 2017?
The SNP spokesman said that whilst the SNP would never vote for the renewal of nuclear weapons there was little they could do in reality as the Conservatives could vote with Labour to push it through.
Possibly it would happen like this:
Labour minority government with SNP support pass a Finance Act (i.e. a budget) with no mention of Trident.
Labour minority government then bring a separate act specifically on the subject of Trident and it is passed with Tory support.
There would have to be some fudge to provide funding for Trident outside of the usual budget/Finance Act but I imagine something could be cobbled together.

Your just hoping they are all Neds so that the SNP lose a million votes be honest Not overly bothered

It says "Produce of Scotland, Norway and Chile". Nothing to worry about. <Wibble> Have received the usual barrage of flyers through the door from each of my local candidates. If I'm really honest, they are all wet sponges and none of them seem worthy of my vote.
Trouble is, I don't really want to spoil my vote as it may be useful. Oh well. Decisions, decisions eh.
In relation to the local candidates. They all seem useless to me, so maybe a spoiled paper is the way forward with them.

If the Conservatives get more seats at the election, do they get first dibs at forming a coalition? Then if they can't Labour gets a chance to try and form a coalition?
Technically speaking, as they are still in Government then yes. Cameron has to go to the Palace and say that he can't form a Government and recommend to HMQ that she ask Mr Miliband to do so for Miliband to get his technical go.Cameron can still remain PM and current Ministers in their post until they decide they can't form a Government (as Brown did in 2010) or push on regarldless and get voted down in a vote of confidence.
This sums up my current views pretty well:
"Politics is now a shouting match of absurd personalities"
