It's worse than that, the EU have now gone further than just giving prisoners the right to vote, they have now allowed them to stand for Parliament - SNP stands for Stafford Nonce Prisoners.
Can you tell who' their candidate is yet?

Enjoying a drop of red.
With the exception of a borough council meeting, has there ever been a larger get together of liars, cheats and fools?

I missed the first 15 min but watched the rest, I leant nothing new. It was less of a bun fight than I though it might be. The poll response to SNP will not have given Miliband any comfort.
I'm not sure whether Nicola Sturgen was good or that the others were so poor.
It has been well documented on here the dislike and disappointment that people hold for our self serving professional political class and when being presented with a competent and forthright politician such as Sturgen, the inadequacies of our national leaders are exposed to the English people.
It disappoints me that whilst I agree with most of UKIP's agenda, I think Nigel Farage has totally misjudged the mood of the electorate who are crying out for a credible alternative to the same old, same old LibLabCon parties and rather than going out of his way to be the 'marmite' candidate he should be putting forward the positive case for the UK to be independent and reach out to all sections of the British people.
As it stands no leader is giving me any reason to vote for them. Miliband is out of his depth, Cameron doesn't seem to want the job anymore, Clegg is an empty cliché and Farage will be happy just to thrown stones from the back benches. Not a great choice is it?

The thing that is really giving me the 'hump' at the moment - well, one of the things - is this whole Tory supposed 'scare' tactic of this 'vote Labour, get the SNP' sort of carry on.
So fecking what?
We can all recall the desperate attempts, last September, of the entire Westminster club sandwich decamping north of the border to beg the good folk of Scotland to remain in the Union. They were grovelled to in a most unseemly manner, begged to believe that their 'voice' was important.
Fast forward six months and they have suddenly been reincarnated as a threat to us all - fear the Scotsman/woman who would dare to have influence in the very Westminster that courted them so heavily - look at them heavy petting in the pool.
I'm struggling to think of a more cynically hypocritical political stance in my own living memory.
Vote Labour get the SNP? I have no fecking problem with that at all.
Perhaps some of you blowhard dickheads would care to show me the error of my ways?

What annoys me is all this 'Vote for One Party, Get Another'. This is peddled by both the Tories and Labour to keep their duopoly of power intact.
I imagine people have different priorities when they come to vote and a lot of people choose the least worst option between the two main parties but this only allows the complacency to continue. My view is to vote for the party closest to your views, although I accept under the present system we have a very limited choice.

I voted yellow and got blue, so feck the lot of them. I'd also have hated voted yellow and getting red, cos they are twats too. This time I won't vote yellow, cos it turns out they were twats, and I won't vote blue or red for obvious reasons.
Twats.
Twats.

The whole thing is completely ridiculous.
Pretty much everybody is expecting a 'no overall majority' result, so everybody is expecting some sort of coalition of whatever colour it may be, yet nobody wants to talk about what that might actually entail.
In the interests of maintaining the tradition of naming Parliaments, perhaps the next one should be the 'Puberty Parliament'.
We are by no means near to being grown up yet.

I predict nobody will do as well as they hope to do
People are predictable and so easily distracted
Stupid is another way of putting it
Short sighted, lacking in a general awareness of current affairs
Have little or no interest in world financial matters until it effects themselves
People are stupid
The people are stupid, conformist, predictable and defeatest and vain and can never react as one
Ever again
Amen

At the end of the day everyone is entitled to their own vote and their reason for it, at this stage in the race all I know is I won't be backing Milibean, whereas I know they are all trying to say what they want you to hear to get your vote, I just can't bare to listen to him without cringing.

So, instead of a hung Parliament, hang Parliament?

Well as I say at this stage In the race I'm yet to be convinced I don't particularly trust anything any of them say but it's just the way Milibean says it that also puts him in the runners up category for me.

Should you not listen to the policies and use that to make your decision. Or have you been seduced by the cult of the celebrity?
Between labour and the Tories both have plans to reduce the deficit.
One is cutting services and tax cuts. The other is tax rises for the rich and spend on services.
UKIP is simple politics blame the EU and migrants.
Lib dems we have no chance but we will support the winner.
Greens appealing policies for middle class professionals. Similar to lib dems 5 years ago.
I guess I've missed the single issue party whilst laudable protest vote probably more effective in local politics. Which I believe they are going to do. I wish them luck.
