Thoughts on this?  Truely shocking media imo.  Even as a tory voter myself i find this stuff really embarrassing if this is how bad it has got to educate the country in middle england in order to vote.

It will probably help the under 3.5 ukip seat bet i have though!

Who cares, if it decreases Labours chances share it!!!

As my final rallying call and wind up to the Labour supporters and the intellectuals here, my final thoughts are these.

Why are all Labour fans so wound up about over taxing the rich. Most rich people are thus because at some stage, they or their family took a risk and got off their backside and "went for it" by starting their own business, or investing in a business that employs your "Labour working class". So to put it broadly the people that have been supplied jobs by the folk with some bottle, saavy, drive etc, feel they should pay proportionately less tax than the risk taker? Without these rich people, you wouldn't have a job to moan about!

Time after time the rich person who has earned this money, is brow beaten and hounded, like a villian, by Labour, to pay more, so more and more people, who could do something, can sit on their backsides and watch Jeremy Kyle all day.


Surely half our immigration issues are down to the Labour driven Unions, who in their heyday, as they wielded more and more power suddenly thought that poor old Bill who swept the floors, or cleaned the bogs as part of his job, was above that. Soon, because no one was doing these jobs, in comes someone that will do it, while old Bill and his ilk, start sitting back, and thinking how great life is, thus actually starting this benefits culture we now reside in. Well done  the Unions!! Well done Labour!!!

There is an argument to be made that the current economic system has resulted in the fat cats in big business scooping off the cream while the taxpayer has to top up the wages of the people that work there because they don't have enough to live on.  At the same time the businesses structure their tax affairs to not contribute, so someone should stamp all over this.

The problem with this, is that small business gets caught up in the red tape and anti business rhetoric from Miliband.

If someone could find a way to make big business act (and pay) responsibly while protecting small business interest then I would vote for them.  Unfortunately everyone goes one way or the other.

Ultimately I think Miliband's vision is highly damaging and he just sees all business as harmful so there is no way I can vote for him.  But I am sympathetic to some of the negative capitalist issues out there.

New TNS poll: LAB 32% (-1), CON 33% (-1), LIB DEM 8% (+1), UKIP 14% (-1), GREEN 6% (+1), OTHER 6% (+1)... Turnout projected 69%

Betfair now have CON/LD coalition as favourite.

Apart from some phone polls (typically older voters on landlines) which have con 3% up, there's nothing much in trends to account for this

it is mighty close, con 275 or 290 seats, labour 260 or 275 come friday morning is the difference between being able to form a coalition or not, for both sides

The collapse in CON most seats is assuming a late Tory swing, that may well not materialise, says paulmotty http://btfr.co/GenEle-2015

from the May2015 polling published yesterday

er, some people are in for a shock. 20% of people think 50% = less than 20 seats in Scotland!

Q. if SNP win 50% of Scot vote, how many seats will they win?

[Woodsey]

I wouldn't have had a clue until recently but I know now it's not far from 60.
