UK General Election tomorrow... whose gonna get in?
« on: May 06, 2015, 07:47:53 PM »
Much as I hate to say it, but I think the Tories are gonna get back in.

But, I predict this... it'll be by a whisker and it'll be the lowest voting turnout in history...

It doesn't help that Labour have put such a media-unfriendly numbskull as Milliband as their main man... also, the MASSIVE newspaper bias towards Conservative... some of the smear stories against Labour supporters are just shocking...

Yeah, I know I'm a bit biased coming from an NHS background... and make no mistake about it, the NHS is finished if the Tories get in again... no, don't even try and argue, I have enough front-line NHS friends who have seen what's happening there under this current Government.

I just wish there was a better alternative... let's face it, we're not voting for 'the best', just 'the least worst'...  ::)

Whatever... I hope you UK folks vote tomorrow with whatever your heart tells you to do...

Hate to say it but I think you are right Master Ray - I also think the Tories will just about scrape it ( I really hope I'm wrong).  But I think the turnout might be a bit of a surprise. It does seem like there are more people thinking this one matters for some reason.

It's been the most stage managed , image driven, fake, American style campaign we've had so far. And yes the media vested interest has been somewhat apparent hasn't it?

I've been particularly unimpressed with this whole "Scottish Menace" shite that's been dragged out to try and scare people somehow. Pathetic. Desperate.

I will at least go to the polling station tomorrow. Whether I'll actually vote for someone or spoil my paper I'm still not sure. But at least spoiled get counted so I can get off my arse and do that much at least I suppose  :)

I also think it's amusing / shocking that THE SUN newspaper is so incredibly pro-Tory... seeing as their readership is mostly the desperately poor and under-educated and easily-led... hmm, ******* Murdoch taking Camerons shilling, eh?

Sure agree about the NHS!
I've been a nurse for over 30 years, still work at the same hospital I trained at....
Very difficult times under any Tory government.

It will be a coalition between Labour and Lib-Dems.

Aye they Scots have always been a menace lol.
Think I'm the same as everyone else in that I'm pissed off with it all in saying that i think its very important to vote think of all the people that have died trying to get democracy.
And yes I'm voting for the state educated working class Ayrshire lass. I don't agree with everything they say but its that or labour n i feel that they had several chances and done fck all.

Also, going like this  ::) at the Daily Mails newspaper headline this morning that said something like 'Your guide to Tactical Voting... How To Keep Red Ed Out...'

Yay, unbiased journalism!

Well, X marks the spot....... or maybe it didn't  ;) . Either way I now have the right to gob off and b*tch for the next 5 years (this may not be a good thing  ;D).

As for the continuing "media" descent into realms way beyond abysmal even Alastair Campbell has despaired of it FFS  >:(.  I saw a picture of all the front pages together  today and it wasa proper head in the heads moment. To think that that is the picture the rest of the world gets of us is embarrasing. And newspaper editors email people telling them how to vote?

We had 5 candidates: tory, labour, lib-dem,green, UKfuckingamoebabrainedstupidbastardwankerIP

Question - Anyone know of a song along the lines of "Guy Fawkes Where are you now that we need you?". I feel like listening to it if there is and if there isn't someone should write one .

Since the original question was , who will win . My answer - probably nobody its either gonna be a tory ukip lib dem coalition or a labour backed by snp greens and others. Worse case scenario we do it all again in a few months
