Is losing to a Labour minority government the best outcome for the Tories?

You must wake up every morning, turn your head to the heavens and praise the Lord that the independence movement failed.

Only as long as you keep providing free money.

As 100% of the Scottish workforce is Public Sector (thanks to FullyAutomatix for providing this statistic) and the rest are on the dole, we need these subsidies to continue.

I don't actually. I wish MI5 hadn't got involved and the true result of a Yes had been allowed to win.

All the panic you see at Westminster and the extra money we will get is not a bad consolation though

Rather a condescending tone considering that's exactly why most of us on CUK will vote the way we do too... the party we think is best for our self/our family.

Not me. It's different this time around...

If I were being purely selfish and only concerned about the state of the economy and, by extension, the contract market I would almost certainly vote Conservative.

But this time I'm voting for the future of the country I love, my children's future and the future of their children.

My vote is already in the post and it's a vote for UKIP.

Edit: Which is kind of voting for my family I guess

If we're going to leave the EU for your children and grand-children's sake, we will have done so by then regardless if UKIP get in, I expect.

Hmm let me see, Labour have some hard core voters who will never switch.

Public sector workers, people on benefits, single mums, minimum wage slaves like supermarket shelf stackers etc etc.

They all gain massively by Labour coming to power. It does not matter if the country gets ****ed, as long as they win.

Not convinced - even a minimum wage slave earns around £14k per year ( I think based on 40 hour week) and it seems in every budget since Tories have got in the lower earnings threshold has gone up so you can earn more before being taxed.

In the previous labour years this did not happen.

Problem is most labour supports are too thick to understand that what the party might once have stood for is now no longer true or relevant,

Punishing the rich?

I'm finding the whole thing amusing. Cameron and Milliband are both going to get shafted with this 1930s-style FPTP voting system that they fought to keep in place.
Who said politics couldn't be fun?

Yep, this is about as interesting as politics gets....at least in England.
