The UKIP woman on with Andrew Neil tonight is an absolute gem for them.
Smart, articulate, charming and most importantly looks completely at ease sitting amongst government members and a boisterous BBC host. They need to get this woman and more like her in the media.
Indeed she is normally very good. I'm not tired yet so... (And no coffee either)Smart, articulate, charming and most importantly looks completely at ease sitting amongst government members and a boisterous BBC host. They need to get this woman and more like her in the media.

I'd say too charming and too soft in the face of a typically arrogant LabLidemCon alliance representation that seems to think it has an entitlement to govern and dictate terms.

As predicted lead turned out to be less than the poll snapshots. The old fart here hasn't lost it yet. Just over 7% lead. All things considered possibly rather close in 2015GE.
Cons Kelly Tolhurst saying going to continue fight to 2015. Cons mad to let her do that surely. Awful candidate.
Labour's Naushabah on the other hand impressive throughout. They would do well to keep her in the loop for the future.
LD 0.87% Sorry but a joke. Less than 200 votes ahead of Loony.

Wow. They have really paid for their moment in the sun. Not sure if there's any way back for them now.
I think it could be a long time before another mainstream party goes into a formal coalition in Westminster. If we have another hung parliament support will be limited to 'confidence and supply' only.hornetrider said:

According to R4Today, that's 11 lost deposits on the trot. Shockingly low support for a party of Government.

I think the "white van man tweet" although made by the (now ex) Labour candidate is symptomatic of the problem for Westminster as a whole - they really don't like or understand the ordinary people of this country.http://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2014...
