Labour's biggest handicap is Ed Millibland. If it was David Milliband or a real credible candidate you could envisage as PM they would piss this election, and, more importantly wouldn't need help from the SNP either, thus more people in England would vote Labour.

If Labour don't get in this time at least Ed will step down and they can elect a proper leader that the public will vote for like Chuka Umunna.

Joke?


Can't even look at the bloke without thinking he was ine inspiration for Token in South Park

Still almost no movement in these polls. I wonder if support will break one way or the other in a more pronounced way before election day.

Looks about right.

It is hard to comprehend how Labour will get only 6 seats less than the Conservatives given their ghastly economic record last term and the Government's record since 2010.

And of course a Labour and SNP "Confidence and supply" arrangement with the left-wing SNP pulling the strings of a very grateful Labour party happy to give major ground in order to hold the balance of power. What a nightmare !

Most people don't care about those things, it comes down to personality.

The general feeling among the public is Millibland in not a PM in waiting

Agreed.And they likely would feel exactly the same way about Dave C had he received equivalent mindless personal bashings from most of the popular press every day for 4-5 years.

Looks like whatever happens the SNP are going to be a powerful lobby in Westminster - very worrying!

Henry v Collymore

Collymore's responses about nurses being skint and most benefits recipients being working families is the sort of misinformation that gets Labour most their votes.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Scotland is part of the UK, so their electorate are part of the mix just like any other party. If we're now so concerned about this, perhaps the media and political parties should've been a bit more circumspect about the idea of them becoming independent at the time. We reap what we sow.

Get used to it I fear, with Labour & Lib Dems being wiped out in Scotland, the SNP could win almost every seat they contest - 50+ makes them kingmakers and they'll hold the balance of power. And when you hold the balance of power - you hold the power.

We can only hope the Tories do better than forecast in England, otherwise it'll be a Scottish dominated Parliament.

Disagree completely.

Plausible example, the SNP says they won't vote through a budget with Tories/Labour unless they scrap Trident. Both parties refuse, so another election is called. The share of seats the two main parties get increases, including SNP losses to Labour in Scotland.
