General Election 2015

I genuinely hope this poll isn't reflective of the nation as a whole, as UKIP currently are the biggest party. Fahr-ahhhge is an incorrect pronunciation of his name, when said correctly it should rhyme with disparage, savage and miscarriage, which are all appropriate to such a farce of a party.

Democracy a political system of government by, of, and for the people but has actually metamorphosed into a system where the politicians fool the people into believing that what is good for these crooks and their rich lobbyists friends are good for the them as well. And what do the people answer? Amen... I think we've grown mature enough to do away with these middlemen who are called politicians...

I think its more reflective of the forum, and you have to factor in at least a couple Non-UK residents voting UKIP and distorting the results. UKIP will get votes because they appeal to many people who feel disenfranchised or unrepresented. The labour party no longer represents the working class, and then there are those for whom unbelievably Tories are no longer right wing enough. The crazy thing is both groups will probably vote for Farrage.

Yup, all because he likes a pint and a smoke. And blaming foreigners is the easiest political line to spin since the bloody Anglo-Saxons arrived and took over this wonderful Celtic country. Send em all back to Anglesey I say!

Miliband And Cameron Prepare For Live Showdown

David Cameron and Ed Miliband are preparing themselves for the first big media setpiece of the election campaign, as Sky and Channel 4 jointly present Cameron & Miliband Live: The Battle For Number 10.

The programme, which starts at 9pm tonight, is part traditional interview and part questioning by a studio audience.

After winning a coin toss, Mr Miliband has elected to appear after the Prime Minister.

Miliband And Cameron Prepare For Live Showdown

How was it? I've only just checked in now, and frankly I was still under the impression that the TV debate was off the table. Then again, as it was Sky and Channel 4, no surprise I missed it, as I generally follow the Beeb for news coverage, and I doubt they'd be promoting something on these channels.

Comfortable win for Miliband. This demonstrated exactly what Cameron won't face him head-to-head.
Anyone that has watched PMQs for the last 5 years knew that anyway.

[Gandalf]

PMQ's in the notorious playground of war criminals, perverts, petty criminals, and general acts of treason against the populace. Why is anybody voting exactly?

It was on BBC news, as well as sky and channel 4, which was better viewing because it had no adverts.

Paxmon asked some really personal and difficult questions which was great viewing.

Both politicians were asked questions from the audience.

Cameron looked nervous and sweaty. Milliband was bumbling at times.

[Gandalf]

Like 'Why have you privatised the NHS?' or 'Why has the national debt doubled despite you killing vulnerable members of society?' or 'How can you criticize Russia when you voted to invade Iraq and won't publish the Chilcott enquiry?' I don't believe tough questions were asked at all. It is pantomime on a dusty stage in the theater of financiers.
