All bets are on!

Fingers crossed for a Conservative victory.

I dont have much doubt that the press is right wing.
I dont have much doubt that BBC is left wing.

So pretty equal.

Having said that I suppose, the BBC is supposed to be unbiased.
I suppose newspapers are at liberty to be as biased as they choose.

I doubt that the BBC is left wing, so that cancels you out, soon.

Does this cheer you up, whitewave?
Shows how unprincipled Clegg is. He's heading to lose his seat, anyway.

Clegg also says he will not do a deal with any party that will not give the public sector a pay rise. That's another red line for him. So that rules the Tories out, doesn't it?

Yes I heard Clegg say something about that yesterday. I can't believe that the Lib Dem party will allow him to get away with the referendum. He would sell his soul it seems to me.

There is also the left wing of the Libs who are unhappy about climbing into bed with the Tories again and so they should be otherwise I am unclear as to what the Libs represent. How can they make statements about what the Tories intend to do with regard to welfare and still consider forming a coalition with them it leaves me breathless.

nigglynellie you say "fingers crossed for a conservative victory". Can you tell me (briefly) what you think is good about them?

Yes, nigglynelly, I am with you there, hoping for a Conservative and Lib Dem coalition again.That would be my ideal first choice. second choice would be labour and Lib Dem coalition.Anything else would be pretty rubbish.

Far north, why should nigglynelly or anyone give you their reasons for voting? we all have different points of view on here on what would be best for the country.Perhaps some people feel the economy is too important to be trusted to anyone other than the Conservatives and Lib Dems.

Looking at the polls again today, it's still too close to call, anything could happen on Thursday. however, the world will still keep turning whatever happens.

Only 4 more days until we should know a lot more.

Why shouldn't nigglynellie, or anyone else, explain (briefly) what they think is good about a party they say they support?
I think the Conservatives and LibDems have done a terrible job and have greatly increased misery for many thousands of people because of their benefit cuts and sanctions.
I think that any party that aims to boost the economy rather than restrict it, would be a good choice.
I'd like anyone who thinks it would be a good idea to vote conservative to give me a reason or two why I should want to do that.

I agree with you, FarNorth. Just to say fingers crossed for a conservative victory is just inviting the question why. So why shouldn't she tell us, roses?
After all, she wasn't worried about saying it in the first place.

Of course, it's up to Anyone on here if they want to explain their reasons/post links etc but as you already know, anyone here of the centre/right tends to keep a low profile because they know there will be others of the leftist persuasion, constantly demanding facts and figures, which gets boring.It's not up to us to try and explain why we will be voting a certain way, and there are better and more erudite people political journalists, and pundits on tv radio and the newspapers to consult for that.
the last Labour government left us in the doo-doo, the Conservatives and Lib Dems are getting us out of it,it could well take years and I'm sure it will, the Labour complaint is that the mess they created is not being cleared up quickly enough.
cuts to benefits will continue under a Labour administration.

In fact, all cuts will continue, no matter which party gets into power.It has to happen.

That's keeping a low profile, is it, roses?

Everybody only gets one vote, no matter how erudite they are politically. We are constantly told that politicians do not listen to ordinary people. This is a chance for ordinary people to try and persuade other ordinary people of the errors in their thinking.
Just saying fingers crossed for a conservative victory is no way to try and persuade others.

I am a Lib Dem supporter, but think they have worked really well with the Conservatives. all this talk of Nick Clegg 'selling his soul' is ridiculous, he did what he had to do as the smaller party in power, especially once he and other Lib Dems realised there was no money for tuition fees.I hope that they will be supporting whichever larger party gets in, but the Conservatives would be my first choice.

Well, you certainly don't keep a low profile DJen.

DJen, 'the errors of their thinking' !

The last Labour government left us in the doo-doo, the Conservatives and Lib Dems are getting us out of it,it could well take years and I'm sure it will, the Labour complaint is that the mess they created is not being cleared up quickly enough.

I certainly agree with you there, roses.

I do not pretend to keep a low profile as far as politics is concerned. You were the one that said people on the centre/right do. People like you, you mean?

rosesarered Perish the thought that we actually look at boring facts and figures to reach an opinion about something.

When Nick Clegg entered into coalition discussions with David Cameron, he was in a position of strength. Given that he had made a pledge that the Lib Dems would abolish tuition fees and a number of people would have voted for him on that basis, he could have made that one of the conditions of his entering into coalition. You may well be happy with the fairly easy ride the Lib Dems have given the Conservatives - I guess many people who voted Lib Dem previously are not so happy. Time will tell.

the Labour complaint is that the mess they created is not being cleared up quickly enough.

Gosh, how true.

And ironically, a worse economy affects labour voters jobs the worst.
Labour voters tend to work in the public sector, where job cuts and jobs not being created are happening big time.

Soon - have you the evidence base for that ?
