    Lib Dems (LOL!) 91%
    Labour 80%
    UKIP 75%
    Conservatives 73%
    Green 58%
    BNP 53%

    Sinn Fein (Blimey!) 75%
    Democractic Unionist 34%

    I guess the last 2 are due to my strong opinion that we should retain the Monarchy!

    There were also a few business leaders who didn't sign the current ("unprecedented") letter who did sign the one that was sent back in 2010 in support of the Tories.

    I wonder also how many of their companies utilise zero hours somewhere along the way..?

    I thought probably Sinn Fein, I will have to check and see if they are standing in Mid Devon. The Greens seem a bit unsure though.

    They should just do a live feed to this thread between 8-10pm. Just wait until someone has posted and then dissect each post over the two hours.

    I've got no political allegiance whatsoever but Ed Miliband is an absolute creep. He really freaks me out. Plus he chats shite.

    This is not specifically about your post.

    But there is a group think I feel chary about. There seems to be a consensus about Milliband. I feel the same way about Cameron but there's no similar traction.
    Milliband is Jewish and Cameron is an Anglo toff. Go figure,

    Labour know they haven't got a cat in hells chance of winning this election. To have someone like Miliband , a very poor mans Tony Blair, at the forefront of their campaign proves that.

    I'm not surprised.

    Being Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the head of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom probably isn't the easiest job in the World.

    I'm knackered and I've had the day off.

    Ed Milliband as PM would be a national embarrassment. I don't vote Labour but you would think the party would at least want to give themselves a chance.

    What we should remember is that most politicians are Pardewesque egotists (are those even words?). You shouldn't trust any of them!

    In terms of 'performance', I thought Sturgeon stood out as a very decent podium speaker, Clegg repeated the decent job he did five years ago, I thought Cameron did ok considering he was the only one who could really stand there and not simply say we'll do this with no evidence.

    Leanne Wood seemed nice and fair, but not particularly strong. Bennett as I've said before simply isn't a leader, while Milliband im starting to think really is marmite. I just think he is such a poor leader choice and the Labour Party were flat out bonkers not replacing 12 months ago. Had they done so I think there would be no question they would soon be in power (rightly or wrongly)

    Sturgeon the clear winner for me.
