To be fair 20 is middle aged in most of Scotland.

I'm a big fan of Nigel , and he did wonderful things for the party , but maybe he's resiginagtion could be a blessing . Suzanne Evans is impressive and it'll be great to have a chick leading the party whilst labour stick to their middle class white men . Paul N is a decent bloke and a northerner , but I'm not quite sure he's up to it. Personally I like oflynn , but he's a middle class whitey as is the impressive Carswell . When the political compass was posted on here , I was a bit lonesome on my own to the right , looks like he great English electorate are coming in my direction .

What happened when the charismatic Salmond stood down from SNP leadership?
-
Its looking like 1992 all over again, even had the Welsh Windbag calling the voters " self deluded" . Gonna stay up and watch the lefties cry.

Worry for Cameron. He'd rather have a coalition with cleggy than the right wing of his own party.

Fair play to Ed Balls fronting up on the BBC with the rumours swirling around .

Following on from the Daily Mirror being the most partisan paper as well.

Academics at British Election Leaflet Project at the University of Nottingham have analysed leaflets from the parties in this campaign. They looked at 1,300 pieces of election literature from nearly 300 constituencies. It turns out that Ukip is the most positive party according to the project’s criteria – the issues covered, the types of images used, and whether the party talked about its opponents. Just 35 per cent of the party’s leaflets included an attack on another party. The Greens were negative in 40 per cent of their leaflets. The most negative campaign leaflets were Labour on 82% & lib/dumbs on 81%. With the Tories some way behind on the negative campaign with 69%. Perhaps if Ed's lefties were more positive in their message, they'd get in

Gordon Brown had a terrible attendance record in the House of Commons , I hope he's not writing a book .

I bet the labour candidate in mid staffs is unhappy with The Mirror asking people to think of the people killed by political decisions when casting your vote

According to FT the Media Standards Trust have looked at the papers election coverage to see which has been the most partisan paper during this election . So, which one was it. The Sun? Nope Must be The Fail ? Nope. Step forward The Daily Mirror.

I did and I wouldn't want him back in our side . He's not good enough for the 2015/16 season , what he did prior to that is irrelevant .

Who will call the vote of confidence ? Why on earth would the Tories do that until year 3 or 4 . They would let a lame duck government limp on with snp support , there's no way labour could get reelected if that went on for 3 or 4 years . They'd fight the next election on " we told you so' . What you appear to be suggestion is that there would be chaos and a shambles and the Tories would then call for a vote of confidence . No chance , what's the other option? Labour calls for a vote of confidence in itself , all the Tories need to do is abstain quoting the fixed term parliament act and saying they believe in it completely . Or say they don't feel the country is ready for the uncertainty of another election . -

Surely you can see the difference between " quitting politics " and giving up the leadership ? He'll still be an MEP, and may contest another election . Salmond quit as leader Fuksake has he quit politics? -

How on earth are the Tories going to get a majority of 1 if there's labour minority government ? The fact that there's a labour minority government means that the Tories / lib dumbs will be well short of any majority . Who is going to vote down a labour government ? The snp ? Well that's one way to lose all their gains , and screw up their chances in the '16 jock elections . 1 Green mp, 3 or 4 taffys ? Gerry Adams mob. The dup maybe and ukip , but that won't be enough.That's even if you get a confidence vote . Who do you think is going to call a confidence vote to put a lame duck government out of its misery? -

But my point still stands , Why on earth would the government of the day support a no confidence vote in itself ? And why would the opposition even call for a no confidence vote if their opponents were leading a shambles .Previously the government could just call an election , now that option is lost to them . They have to rely on the opposition , who will be acting in the best way possible for themselves and the worst way for the government . -

Why are people saying x minority , " followed by another election" . Have they not heard of the fixed term parliament act . In order to ensure their grubby coalition would last the establishment brought this in . Basically you'll need labour & Tories to vote together to end the parliament ( you need a 2/3 majority ) . The very nature of politics means there will never be a situation when it'll be in both parties interests to dissolve parliament . If one party wanted to dissolve it, you can bet your bottom dollar the other wouldn't . If labour wanted a quick election to seek a mandate without the SNP, the Tories will oppose it , and if the Tories wanted to bring down labour , they'd oppose it , and obviously visa versa. The coalition have fundamentally changed parliament with his . Previously if you lost the confidence of parliament , it was dissolved . Now , due to the fixed term act it isn't . If labour were limping along , unable to legislate without the SNP, unable to control the timetable , why on earth would the Tories give them the get out of another election . Let them limp on for 3/4 years , presiding over a shambles , they'd then be a shoe in after that ( the same applies in reverse) -
Complete and utter pony . Can't you just bring yourself to say its wrong . Fair play to VFTT , but apart from that the defence of this on here is pathetic .

I don't know who it is, I've only seen her eyes.

I agree. Nothing wrong with it , I'm attending a stoning next week myself.
