    Cameron desperate to lose ?

    David Cameron under fire as immigration is left out of Conservatives' manifesto | Daily Mail Online

    Cameron under fire for 'amazing' decision to leave immigration out of Tories' top six election issues
    Cameron also left out health care from his party's pitch to voters in May
    Despite polls showing the two issues are of greatest concern to voters
    Did include cutting the deficit, jobs, tax, education, housing and retirement
    PM claims wasn't oversight and will be addressed as part of economy offer
    Said immigration was part of pitch Britain 'should live within her means'
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    Immigration angle will be dealt with by UKIP with whom Cameron hopes to make a deal.

      Considering Miliband's blunders thus far, I think Cameron's safe.

        I think I am going to bet on Miliband at the bookies, first time ever, at least if he wins I'll have some cash won, and it he loses (does not form Govt) then I'll be happy to lose. Win win really...

          Can you get insurance to cover your losses in the event of a Labour government?

          If I was a politician I'd probably try to change the subject any time anyone mentioned the NHS or immigration. It can only end badly for you no matter what you say.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Way I see it.

            Tories - Will cripple the country through cuts, interest rates down to historical lows is not the economic policy but a serious decline in global demand for oil, copper, etc (more worrying than anything). Have really messed up on the NHS and cant seem to get boarders sorted out

            Labour - Will do well concentrating on NHS. Millipede is a fool though

            UKIP - will do well in the regions

            Libs - Who

            Greens - Who?

            Never voted Labour or UKIP, but definitely wont be voting Tory again!!

              you know Labour got us into the mess, spending on more public employees in a boom?

                Absolutley know this, problem is the tories have not addressed the problem, a lot of their policies have been smoke and mirrors.

                Who put up VAT?
                Who is cutting local government budgets?
                majority of new jobs are part time which is why taxes are far lower than expected.
                NHS - constantly missed targets, ambulance service is chaos, beds in chaos, A& E in chaos, Private sector withdrawing from NHS, social care in chaos, and not even on their manifesto?
                unprecedented powers handed to HMRC to tax grab retrospectively
                unprecedented planned cuts would decimate the country
                Whilst welfare reform is needed, the tories have gone too far in hurting the very sector of our society who these cuts affect the most (Kicking a poor man when he is down), whilst the opportunities for the wealthy have never been better.

                Labour have a buffon running them at present, but they do seem more intent on managing the deficit in a more sensible way than the tories (as long as they don't make the same mistakes as previously)

                UKIP - I love farage and some of his policies, but some I loathe and it seems they cannot get rid of the idiots from the party which would make them more acceptable to main stream voters

                  I don't think 'they' did get us into this mess, pretty sure this mess would have happened under Tories as well both are obssessed with large debt driven housing bubbles being the answer to economic prosperity. Both are welded to high immigration ,over development and ever increasing burden on services and infrastructure. Both are heavily driven by special interest lobby groups, most of which are happy to lobby either. You'll find cross party support on these issues too £££££.
                  The simple truth is the two main parties are pretty much identical on all that matters and Osborne is even implementing Alistair Darling's borrowing plans.. Any protestations of similarity are political spin

                  All the above is why UKIP are doing so well. Would love to see Con/Labour wiped out but there are two many idiots who think they aren't the same thing.

                    You can, but the cost will probably be astronomical...
