    When Kay Burley is winning the interview, that's not a good sign.

    Frankly I'm amazed that anyone is considering voting Labour given the havoc they wreaked last time around. Even my Dad who has always been a staunch Labour man all his life has sworn he'd never vote red again.

    Luckily (depending on your point of view) I live in a Conservative dominated area anyway but I'll be voting blue as I think this country is in a far better position than it was 5 years ago, and I honestly doubt any of the other parties could have done better given the starting point we came from.

    It saddens me to think we could end up with a Labour/SNP/Green coalition as I can really see things going down the s**tter then.

    If we were going to get a Labour government, that would make sense...

    Maybe Labour won't screw up the City, could be true, but I don't see what that has to do with anything.

    We're not going to get a Labour government, the polls say we're going to get a Labour/Green/SNP government.

    The SNP want to screw things up so that the rest of us are happy to see them go and so messing with the City by taxes and mad regulation suits them perfectly. They can use the taxes to buy votes and any damage to the English economy is good for them because if they get independence a poorer England will make them look better. The last thing they want is for rump UK to outgrow them.


    Since UKIP will get (at most 3 or 4 seats), they simply aren't relevant to Tory policy and aren't that different from it anyway.

    And if that happened, where would your precious vulnerable be then? In an even worse pickle.
    Its not all about the finance sector, and quite a lot of those 'bankers' probably do not pay taxes to UK PLC.

    But yes our finance sector generates great wealth and investment and will continue to do so under a Labour government.

    I am not really sure what your point is/was?

    These 'bankers' are more likely to move if we were to exit the EU.

    And here is the perfect example of a brainwashed conservative voter

    lets hope your future path is always the optimum road, otherwise who will care?
