A little bit Reckless

I'm all for UKIP, they are for the common man. It cant be write that all the rich gits the 1% take all the national cake. Hopeully they will strengthen HMRC.

Perhaps they could invest some in giving spelling lessons

This snobby attitude is why UKIP is getting all the votes

Nothing to see here. Come the general election people will vote for who they want to run the country again. A by-election win doesn't mean a thing.

That's what Dave said.

Incredibly unlikely, if anything I could see them reducing HMRC's depredations outside of MNCs. You could always apply to be a border control officer, or get a real job.

Trolling's generally a safe occupation on these fora, though.

That's what Dave wants to happen. I think the genie is out of the bottle though. SNP in Scotland will probably be a significant bloc at Westminster. UKIP in England could well emulate some of that success too. The complacent idea that it's either Labour or Tories and they each take their turn for a decade or so is starting to look a little old fashioned. When it's that approach which has got the country in the state it is, you can hardly blame the electorate for looking for alternatives, regardless of the parliamentary chaos which ensues.

I think the current coalition may well have put people off the idea of coalitions for a while and this time we'll see a clear winner.

Please don't quote that when we get a rainbow coalition next May.

The appetite for a coalition may not be there, but one party having sufficient support to gain a clear majority I sincerely doubt.

In the likely event of a coalition the real question is can one stay together for more than a few months?

Beats me why anyone spends time posting on or reading Twitter. I think my favourite pastime of staring at the wall is more interesting.
