what price nick clegg for a seat in the next cabinet?
he seems to have a new lease of life at the moment, seems supremely confident of success.
The Tories won't need to invite other party members to join their Cabinet.

i have been watching these polls with interest,although as Barry would say they don't prove anything,but I did notice that the Lib vot shot up by about a 1000 in a couple of weks so I wondered if the party instructions were go out and vote.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

OH YES THEY WILL
or no they wont because it will be a hung parlianment and no party will go with them
Keith, you know there is no history of Tories and Libs getting into the same bed, even when the majority was only 3 or so. It's the Labour Party who are more closely aligned idealwise to the Libs, and so that pairing is more likely, if it came to it.

In parlianment your correct and if it keeps the tories out im all for it.
but we do have local councils where tories and libs have got into bed with each other to keep labour out.
so it could happen

There are different polls on facebook. This one is closer to the national picture (but still a bit out)
"In this world there are 10 sorts of people - those that understand binary and those that don't."

that is a strange chart, the respect party get included, but no mention of the UKIP or BNP.
That's right Howard, and if you add the BNP and UKIP percentages in my table to the Labour percentage you get a number very close to the red pie segment in Matts picture. I've heard of spin but ......

the respect party have failed miserably, players are still rude to referees.
they do not deserve to rule us.
I agree!

Are you guys tripping?
I know it's a bit run together, but UKIP and BNP are included. The 6 parties listed at the bottom are just the 6 with the largest support. No figures have been added together.
I simply posted a picture of a different poll. The idea that I was spinning anything is utterly moronic.
"In this world there are 10 sorts of people - those that understand binary and those that don't."
Methinks he doth protest too much.......

I don't think so, Sid. I don't see how a crap pie chart is Matthew's 'spin', it's just a crap diagram.
