Just seen him spouting his usual drivel on tv, and to me he looks like he's tweaking on drugs. Or he's put a bit too much sugar on his Shreded wheat.
I've seen George Osbourne in a similar wide eyed state, in the House Of Commons.
Drugs tests for MP's? |

I heard Ed Milliband on the radio banging out the same soundbites and cliches as he always does. Then I heard Nick Clegg getting confused, defensive and going around in circles.
Quite honestly, they're all having a bit of a meltdown in the build-up to the election.

Cameron was accused of being apathetic. Something that did not go down well with his campaign HQ.
So apparently Lynton had a word in his ear and now he's coming out more giddy than Andrew Neil in a wig shop. |

Lots of rumours about Osborne...
As for Cameron, even Rupert Murdoch was scathing of him on twitter earlier, Suspect that he is feeling the pressure |

Erm...anyone considered they might all be feeling the pressure a bit, 10 days from an election? |

I think he is starting to panic. The polls show he is unlikely to win a majority so might have to go in with the LibDems again. Unfortunately, looks like Clegg won't get enough seats to help against a combination of Labour, SNP and Green.
Er...so tough titty, Cameron, methinx. |

Cameron will pair up with the DUP and a UK-wide party, probably the Lib Dems again.

Even if that does happen I doubt it will be enough to stop a leadership challenge at some point |

Not enough seats to beat a Lab/SNP deal. The Greens might retain their Brighton seat.

As he's announced he will only serve one more 5 year term that's inevitable. It will be sooner than five years though and we'll have to live through watching the in-fighting and lack of direction for about three years. Then BoJo will pounce.

"I'd hate to see the DUP with any sort of power in Westminster but they would be comfortable bedfellows with many Conservatives. "
They had 9 seats last time and I think they will get a similar number this time. That's likely to be more than the Greens (1 seat last time) and UKIP (2 seats after by-elections caused by defections and I predict they will get two seats again).
The Lib Dems had 57 seats but will be lucky to get more than 30, I think. That leaves the DUP as the Conservatives can't get the SNP or Plaid Cymru support.

If Murdoch says the Conservatives are not going to win and Cameron must go, then you can be sure that's what will happen. That party hasn't won in decades and perhaps never will again.
There are rumors about those swivel eyed goofs taking things they shouldn't, so id not be surprised, under the pressure. |

Not just today, the other day he said he supported West Ham, then said he had a brain fade and really supports Aston Villa. 
Does he really support Villa or got them confused with West Ham because they both play in the same colours? lol.

After the referendum and the strong performances from Sturgeon and Wood it's really hard to tell this time. Between them they could form a really strong veto on policies.

Combined? Probably about 45-55. Depending on which polls you pay attention to. |

"I think a Labour & Lib Dem coalition is most likely with SNP support. "
Or we face the Conservatives, as Cameron is the sitting PM, deciding to brazen it out and offer up a Queens Speech if the numbers are close. Then it will on a vote by vote basis.

I'm inclined to agree. There are no absolute written rules about what to do but the general idea is that nothing should put the monarchy in an untenable position, so it's usually the incumbent that gets first dibs if he can assure the queen he has the 'confidence of the house'.
A grubby vote trawling exercise if I ever I saw one.
I wrote the above sentence to see what it reads like in print. I quite like it.

A minority government would have to be more flexible than the Tories would be. Their arrogance knows no bounds.
It's hard to cobble together different parties for different votes because so many of the parties are anti-Tory. |

Perhaps flexibility will be an interesting option. I dont recall there being a vote by vote government before. There will be a lot of compromise. It remains to be seen if that wil be a successful approach. |

He needs to after all the shite Labour have been pushing down our necks.
Just been the watching Channel 4 news. A reporter asked Ed Balls at his Scotland conference:
"You are standing in front of a large placard that says; end exploitative zero hours contracts, yet this conference has been set up by people on zero hours contracts" (referring to the caterers, cleaners, ushers etc)
Ed Balls reply was "we are wanting to end EXPLOITATIVE zero hours contracts, NOT zero hours contracts"
They will push sound bites and talk all the talk the public want to hear all day long so long, as it means they will get into government. But at the end of the day U-turns and back tracking is already being done.
Since that video of Ed Balls surfaced where he was saying taxing non-doms will mean they will either leave, or will mean less tax revenues, Labour has since gone EXTREMELY quiet on pushing their policy on taxing non doms.
I am not promoting conservative policy here, just saying Labour dont have to prove anything, they only have to sway the public vote... yet they cant even stick to policies they have already agreed are worth fighting for! |

I'd vote for a party that banned exploitative zero hours contracts. What humane and caring government would WANT to exploit low paid workers?
Exploitation of any kind is morally wrong so I think it's perfectly reasonable for Ed Balls to say he'd ban it. Or whatever he said. |

That was cringeworthy. And it's clear he doesn't support either of them and is just trying to connect with the tory stereotype of ordinary person. Still not as bad as when Hague re-invenyed himself with an imaginary hard drinking past |

SNP are out to split the UK and I think if they get in with labour they will just do that and Johnny England.i think tories are the only option St the moment or kiss good bye to the UK and it would be like falling Domino's next Wales then Ireland and on the world stage we would stand no longer.the empire has gone and this is the last unravelling of what was left.the party is over for our beloved UK so get shagging and forget all about it  |

I don't understand that argument.
Scotland will go independent when the people in Scotland decide to do so - not because the SNP tell them to.
In the meantime, if they decide to send a large contingent of SNP MPs to Westminster then any other voters who don't like can go sing!
I don't recall so much furor when Scotland had to put up with Tory governments it hadn't elected - time to have those tables turned! |

The SNP could only do a 'split' if a referendum is in favour and last time, the people of Scotland didn't want to leave the UK. |

Perhaps the debacle of the letter published in the Telegraph today in support of his party that was 'signed' by 5000 'small business owners' being shown to be a selection of non-owners, signatures by employees without consent, convicted fraudsters and non-existent companies has caused him to have a little wobble.  |
