Hung Parliament seems more likely.

Edit: Changed the numbers for about the 5th time

I wanted to see a great Conservative majority. Not so much because I have total faith in Tory competency (though their promises at least talk the walk), more that Labour should take more of the oblivion they suffered after 1979. But because British politics is in such a state, this hung parliament rubbish seems a more likely outcome.


After the nation faced strife and ruin as union barons dictated government policy, the rightfully vanquished Old Labour endured a long death rattle before it was reborn as New Labour. Out went the dinosaur, ruinous Clause 4 crap for example, but in came fully-fledged political correctness.

The gulf between PC ivory-tower masters and beseiged, bepunished ordinary decent normal people is stark. Criminals are slapped on the wrist and 'understood', whilst normal people can be punished and demonised for making citizens' arrests, punching attackers, putting too much rubbish in their bins or smoking inside.

It would have been nice to see Labour forced to drop another failing, angering ideology to regain public trust, one which ultimately betrays common sense and culture, surrenders to synthetic foreign powers and belittles patriotism. But they'll see no reason to change their menacing ways if they can still retain some credibility at the polls.

I do not want a Conservative majority.

I'd prefer a hung parliament or Conservatives with a minority Government so they know the public still does not trust them.

Numbers updated:
Con - 118
Lab - 107
Lib Dem - 18

Hung parliaments mean power struggles and sleazy deals. Far from getting closer to the Public, they'll move away up in the Westminster Bubble.

Labour and the Lib Dems ganging up to swamp the Tories, even if they have a majority in number terms? Those lunatics even madder about EU integration and the euro than Labour, madder on overtaxing than Labour, madder about political correctness, 'amnesties' for a million illegal immigrants and having even more convicted felons slapped on the wrist or let out of jail early, etc?


Give me the Tories. Best of a bad lot I grant you, but much better than that.

How did my hero Farage do (aside his kamikaze attempt), did he win from that Bercow numbtie?

Result not in yet but the likelihood of a UKIP win is pretty low. They seem to be polling around 3% nationwide.

Bercow 47%, Farage 17%. OMG, what's wrong with these people?
