So how do our resident Tory boys feel about the possibility of a coalition between Conservatives and Labour in May, as muted by some backbenchers of late, would it make you feel like your vote was wasted?
Well, I would hope it doesn't come to that.But if it keeps Nazis like the SNP and UKIP out of power, then needs must.

The truth is that the greatest threat to the UK is from nationalist zealotry in the form of the SNP and UKIP, and a coalition of the centre to see off that threat isn't off the cards.
Would it work? Possibly. Probably not.
But it would have the huge benefit of causing the collective brain-explosion of the collective 'kipper and CyberNat infestation of PH...

I run a company, and our profits would increase if we were freed from the EU. If you are pro business, then I would think that you are more likely to want to exit the EU.
I export to the EU, and the reduction in costs would more than offset any potential increases in duty.
Again and again you assume your views are those of others. I run a business and I favour in.staying I export to the EU, and the reduction in costs would more than offset any potential increases in duty.
So do most others

Tee hee.
he's not a rabid libertarian
he's not a borderline sociopath
he's not an isolationist
Neither are traditional Conservative voters, as folk well know.
he doesn't think that he can win at EU negotiations by SPEAKING VERY LOUDLY IN ENGLISH to get his point across
ISWYM but actually he almost does...remember the table banging and jaw jutting?
he doesn't fellate Barry O'Bama
That's one of his good points but alone it's not enough.
No, he prefers rimming him instead....allegedly ;-)he hasn't got a goattee

For me personally, I won't vote Tory again whilst he's running the party because he went on record shortly before the last election saying Child Benefit should always remain a universal benefit, then shortly after it, he cut our child benefit, giving me the equivalent of a £5k pay cut.
I don't care about the rights or wrongs of whether people on higher wages should receive it. I care about the fact that he said one thing and then did the exact polar opposite.

CMD's trouble is that he resembles a Tory Blair to too many people. He has delivered very little in his 5 yrs in power and what credit there has been for the govt has in effect gone to Boy George. Now let's be honest, how many ppl back in 2010 expected to be saying that??! Well, I rather suspect that is how CMD feels! Even his gay marriage thing was a cock up as it was an internal fight and badly managed, so it became a fight he didn't need to have. As a political leader he hasn't been very good, as an economic leader George and Danny have been good. The EU stuff was just bad politics, again picking bad fights - same for the Scottish referendum. There is of course an interesting angle in that Scotland may well deliver CMD the election because I think it has finally dawned on the brighter souls within the Labour Party that a deal with the SNP would be the death knell of the Labour Party as a party of UK govt.

I think that business owners/managers are split roughly 50-50 on the subject of EU membership. What do you think?

So if you don't vote tory who will you vote for?I don't care about the rights or wrongs of whether people on higher wages should receive it. I care about the fact that he said one thing and then did the exact polar opposite.
A no vote or spoiled vote is just a helping hand for labour or will you vote for a smaller party in the hope they'll be part of a coalition and keep the tories in check.
