    Whatever / whoever it is they're standing for they don't live in Scotland anymore.
    He is still peddling the myth that the largest party form the government as fact. No-one on the BBC will challenge him on that.

    Next Parliament..
    Con minority: 3.95/1
    Lab minority: 3.8/1
    Based on that Tories/UKIP/Libdems still not enough (310) would need most of the others to form a majority. Whereas Labour/Libs/SNP is (346) enough.

    Thought about UKIP but I've decided I'm not actually anti-Europe that much. All these ridiculous pc bits of legislation that people like to blame on Europe would still happen even if we weren't in the eu. Being in the EU allows our MPs to use the weasel words "it's all out of our control" - very convenient for them really....

    Besides, I read somewhere the other day that Nige wants to forge links with commonwealth countries like Canada, NZ and.... India; he doesn't think Indians have fair access to our job market. My God, if there's that many in IT jobs when they haven't got a fair crack of the whip then what would it be like when we're welcoming them with open arms?

    Nope. It looks horribly like I'll be doing exactly what I said I wouldn't do and vote for the least bad option again....
