General Election 2015

[Craig]

You guys seen Cameron eating a hot dog with a knife and fork? It's worse than Miliband struggling with his bacon butty. It's about time to really test the leaders by giving each of them a full pizza in the next televised debate.

Apparently he can eat one like a commoner when he wants to though.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I dunno, he seems to be struggling there a bit. Dodgy angle of entry I'd say.

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

Tories really backfiring now. Personal attacks and the Tory press flooding us with stories that Miliband shagged bitches when he was younger, he's always been cooler than smarmy Dave.

Good write up there.

Following on from the bizarre lies about unilateral disarmament, the Tories look like they're in full-on crisis mode now.

 

[Madglover]

Good to see the awful SNP economic planning coming to light again
You would think after the referendum they would stop speaking financially considering how poor they seem when talking about it

Not as good as this...

The less they focus on Bennett the better.

Or "Gordon" as she is apparently being called by some of her own staffers.

That's astounding.

I feel a bit sick, but a great response to some utterly bullshit mudslinging from the Tories.

 

[HertsWolf]

Does anyone know of a website that gives a broad, impartial overview of what each of the main parties stands for? My girlfriend is looking for something she can use with kids she teaches (age 14 and 15) to get them engaged with the election. Probably something along these lines, but shorter.

It might be easier to use this policy guide:
Conservatives - You will get fucked over by the people you work for
Labour - You will get fucked over by the people who work for you
Lib Dems - You will get fucked over
Greens - You will get fucked over and recycled
UKIP - Everyone will get fucked over
Plaid Cymru - Byddwn yn sgriwio dros
SNP - England will be fucked over. And Scotland.
Official Monster Raving Loony Party - fiscally conservative but pro-growth, hawkish on defence and real ale, supports the NHS and free education; balanced economy.

Whoever you vote for, the government always wins.

Almost makes him look as bad as a picture of Danny Alexander that isn't crumpled.

 

[silkyman]

Is that really the best the Tories have?

'Look... If you pick the right shot, he looks a bit funny...'

dont know if this has been posted before but quite interesting, see how much your vote is worth. where i am it's in 0.290, almost certainly Labour.

 

[GodsGift]

Sleaford & North Hykeham - 0.040!

 

[Techno Natch]

Voter power in Bristol East
0.475

I expect the Greens to do much better here this year though, apparently they did really bad 5 years ago. We'll see.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Voter power in Swindon North
0.246

 

[Hooped Wizard]

Tories have a genuine chance in my constituency of rural Doncaster (Don Valley). I can hope.

Got a letter from TUSC today. Have a feeling they'll do well in 2020. They have people standing in a third of the constituencies which is fantastic for a new party. Also there leader is relatively famous.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

0.948

 

[SUTSS]

0.28 in Broadland.

 

[Veggie Legs]

0.481 for me, I'm feeling pretty powerful.

 

[Red]

0.893 Chesterfield

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

0.24 something when I did this earlier. Colchester has been LD for ages but it'll be interesting to see if that changes this time around given the state of the party. It's a student town so I think the LDs will probably remain albeit with a smaller majority.

It's either them or the Tories so I suppose I should be grateful.

 

[Craig]

0.073 ultra safe.

 

[Alty]

How are the figures calculated? Is it primarily about the size of the majority? Because some 'safe' LD seats are definitely up for grabs.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

0.8 something in Walsall Naarth, 0.3 in West Bromwich East, I live on the border of both so I'll just go for a safe 0.5

 

[Red]

Nobody is talking about them but it's looking like the For Sale party are doing really well where I live. There's far more of their signs in people's gardens than the other party's

 

[SUTSS]

Thought Clegg came across quite well in his interview with Davis just now.
