I'd rather the country went back to the polls and provide the Tories with a clear majority government than being held to ransom by Clegg. If the public are so strongly in favour of PR they would've voted Liberal in the first place...maybe the Tories will cop out and meet them half way by promising a national referendum.

Other things aside, I was really pleased to see the myth of the "significance" - as insisted on by the various infatuated print and broadcast media - of the so-called "live debates" blown out of the water. It seems after all that they did Clegg no good at all and had minimjal-to-no effect on people's voting on the day.

Not really, SimonM. I think that, had there only been one debate, then you would have seen more of an effect for the LibDems. The LibDems support had been slowly ebbing away in the weeks following their peak just after the first debate. It gave the Lab/Tory papers and the election machines time to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt.


On the other hand, I think Cameron's rather solid showing in the last debate gave the Tories a late extra couple of percent.


And Gordon's rather scary attempt at smiling during all three debates put the bejeesus up everyone! If they ever want to do a remake of 'Psycho', they could do worse than cast Mr Brown's smile.

You overlook what a small proportion of the electorate actually watched the things. The 1st got 9 million - big vurioisdity factor? - the 2nd only 4 million. I venture to suggest that the vast najority of viewers were the more politically well-informed and/or already decided. I see nothing to persuade me that the final voting figures/seats for the three main parties would have been any different had there been no debates at all

All this uncertainty... except if any of the people mentioned on this thread become PM, I think I'd want to leave too!


The UK has enjoyed a lovely meal (dessert wine and chocs included) and the bill has now arrived. So living in these 'last days', we will all need to survive as best we can.


I've got an air rifle and a fishing rod and luckily the mackerel season is upon us ;-)

Is there....


Someone called "Peater"..?


( how weird was that, I was thinking "andre" & the commentator on "match of the day" said "on comes AndreArshavin" )



Because I can't think of one, so it might be nice this time to have a Prime Minister called Peater ( spelt the unusual way too )




Just for a change, like

      A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10!

      Highly Recommended Painter / Decorator - Temi

      By nipperpenrose · Posted

      Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By mary123 · Posted

      The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time

      Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.
