No chance with that in charge. Tories main threat will be UKIP.

Did anyone listen to that cretin Ed Balls

If that lot get in, short the stock market, short the pound, short everything and fook off overseas a rich man.

Tories are in a serious bind between Labour and UKIP. Any triangulation strategy to move to the centre (as Cameron did with social policies) to win the floating voters, leaves them exposed on the right to UKIP. A move to the right means that Labour mops up the centre. It's difficult to know where they go (assuming of course that no party is actually going to take a principled stand on anything).

I thought rich men congregate in Swindon.

It's going to be another hung parliament with tories in the lead, but this time it will be UKIP/Tory government. Lib dems will be wiped out of existence.

I like how he's saying "give us 10 years to get back on track". That means two full terms, just to get to the point they want to start from... so we have to vote them in for 15 years to see if they can actually improve anything.

UKIP will struggle to win more than a couple of seats in a GE in a first past the post system.

I suspect the SNP will do well enough to hold the balance of power, so a grand coalition of the Tories and Labour will get MI5 to provoke a major scandal in an SNP Scottish government, leading to imprisonment of the SNP leadership on corruption and child abuse charges, significant social unrest, and the UK government reluctantly reimposing direct Westminster rule onto a grateful Scottish population. Shetland and Orkney will protest and be granted crown dependency status to pull the rug from under any future independence movement.

So they're in the same situation as Buridan's Ass
