Polling Stations open in less than 24 hours.

IMO opinion this is one of the most interesting elections in a long time, particularly under a Westminster system. It's really got everything happening and is going to be extremely interesting to see where things head.


What we've seen:

- Labour and Conservatives are neck to neck

- Cameron's refusal to debate head to head with Ed Miliband

- Lib Dems likely to cop it for their role in the coalition

-The mobilisation of the Scottish Nationalists under Nicola Sturgeon following the #IndyRef and Scottish Labours certain annihilation north of Hadrian's wall after being branded as "Red Tories". Labour's gains from the Conservatives in England are almost cancelled out by their losses to the SNP in Scotland.

- Milibands refusal to enter even an informal coalition with the SNP #becauseunion

- The rising voice of minor parties, despite their limitations by the First Past the Post system. Despite being unlikely to win many seats, the growing voice of Plaid Cymru, the English and Welsh Greens and everyones favourite racists UKIP are showing that people are becoming increasingly dissatisfied in what the major parties are offering.

- The fact that Russell Brand has managed to become one of the major voices and talking points of this election.

- The certainty that we are heading towards a hung parliament.

What I think we can expect: Even with the Lib Dems, DUP and UKIP, the Tories won't be able to form Government and are unlikely to want to work with UKIP anyway. Labour to initially form a minority government without the SNP, which will backfire eventually when the SNP start pressing on the removal of Trident from West Scotland, more powers for the Scottish Parliament and an end to Austerity.

LOL @ "neck and neck"

its all theatre to suck you into the vortex of bullshit and make more money for media

Tories to be returned easily, you can count on it

Ok then, what do you base that on then? Are you anticipating that the Conservatives will enough seats outright to form Government (despite polls suggesting otherwise)?

I doubt the Lib Dems can afford to go into Coalition with the Tories again, with many of their voting base feeling betrayed after 2010. Clegg is also determined to block any EU Exit Referendum which Cameron has promised so I can't see them being too chummy anymore.

Even with continuation of the Coalition, I can't see the Tories being able to pass much in the Commons with less than 300 projected seats.

It seems the only thing the other parties are united by is the fact that most of their manifesto's have something to the effect of "Fuck the Tories" in the first line.

Fuck the Tories.

based on Miliband is a joke and not a serious candidate for Prime Ministership
Labour already know this

the Lib Dems wont back them

and polls schmolls

its all media BS

same as the last US election they pretended was going to be close

:lol:

You must not have noticed who you were responding to. The FourFourTwo equivalent of the Monster Raving Loony Party.

we can revisit this thread when Cameron is returned

you up for that dribble mouth?

You are a very brave keyboard warrior.

afraid I might be right already? you can chicken out now if you wish

Nothing to do with whether you are right or wrong. IMO melbourne_terrace's assessment is much more likely than your "Tories to be returned easily" prediction.

I am just commenting on how brave you are throwing out insults on a forum that you wouldn't have the guts to say to someone's face.

Edited by biscuitman1871: 7/5/2015 01:36:17 PM

so you're backpedaling now I see

pathetic and I believe it was you that started with the insults

did my responses hurt your feelings dribble mouth?

How is "IMO melbourne_terrace's assessment is much more likely than your "Tories to be returned easily" prediction" backpedaling?

I think he is right and surprise, surprise, you are wrong.

The fact that you think your childish insults could hurt someone's feelings says more about you that anything else.

you're the one complaining about being insulted (after you instigated personal insults)

that you cant see the hypocrisy of your position speaks volumes of your lack of aptitude in the mental area

Tories will be returned

if they're not I'll leave the forum permanently if you agree to leave the forum permanently if they are

deal?

It is a tempting offer but no thanks.

I am sure there will be many disappointed forum members who would have liked the chance to see the back of you and your trolling.

The Tories may well be returned but I don't think it will be easily as you believe.

Referring to you as the 442 equivalent of the Monster Raving Loony Party was a mild and topical insult for this thread.

Just constantly calling someone "dribble mouth" is what 12 year olds do.

backpedal backpedal backpedal

you instigate personal insults to a lot of people here I've noticed and you cry when its returned

who do you think you are that gives you the authority that you dont afford others?

you seem to exhibit the characteristics of a bully

Who is crying now?

who do you think you are that gives you the authority that you dont afford others?

What authority are you talking about? I have a low tolerance for fucking morons. If I was unfortunate enough to meet you in person, I can assure you that I would have no problem calling you a fucking moron to your face. I doubt however, that you would be brave enough to spout the crap that you do on this forum to anyone's face.

Apart from distance, that is highly unlikely though as it would require you to come out from behind your keyboard and negotiate the intricacies of the public transport system.

are you threatening me now?

It takes a special person who, when called a fucking moron, responds in a way which categorically confirms it.

Thanks for that - despite your short comings you really are special and have brightened up an otherwise boring day.

that was a yes or no question

oh ok - no

edit wrong thread :lol:

Edited by ricecrackers: 7/5/2015 02:48:23 PM

Not really going for anyone but keen to see what happens. Will be paying attention(Y)

Crackers and biscuit have made this thing much more interesting :lol:

Polls open in less than 5 minutes

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/07/britain-at-a-crossroads-why-you-should-pay-attention-to-the-uk-general-election

Great article from the Guardian to catch up on what's happened this election if you haven't been following.

Too much popcorn today.

Too much.

Hopefully there's a surge towards UKIP. They'll get 15-20% of the vote yet only yield .5% of seats at the most. Enough ammunition to launch for a representative democracy system.

Beyond that, hopefully Conservatives get up. Labour and Milibot would ruin the country.

Yeah nah, unless you're loaded and are massively pro business, UKIP is a disaster. Only good for splitting the right wing vote

That's the same UKIP who had one of its candidates say he would shoot his Asian Tory rival if he ever became prime minister.

Maybe come back after you have grown up and voted in a couple of elections.

:lol: at the shitfight.

On topic, Labour minority government with SNP support seems extremely likely. Will be interesting either way.

Lol wtf bicky?! Who would possibly engage in a shit fight with Ricecrackerss for that long?! Especially when your first post was rebuking someone for engaging him :lol:

Edited by fourfiveone: 8/5/2015 02:44:02 AM

The communist SNP will decide who form government...

SNP will win 50 seats

UKIPbe lucky to win 2 seats

I don't think you know either what "Communism" is or where the SNP stand on the political scale.

you don't think, and you don't know what I know

SNP is anti-American communist twats

No you're just a knob and don't have fucking clue.

To be left of Centre ≠ Communism (or even Socialism) in the same way that right wing parties like the Tories or UKIP ≠ Fascism.

left of center :lol:

you're a grade A muppets..you are so consistently wrong, that they should put your opinions in any model as a variable

UKIP will win one seat. maybe 2 seats ...they are just a organized Pauline Hanson, who get the right muppet votes

SNP is a threat to Australia's national security

:roll:

Care to explain that last statement in detail?

what, about melbourne_terrace being a muppet ? :lol:

I actual tend to agree with him on a lot of things, but I was asking you to clarify a seemingly outrageous statement.

Edited by fourfiveone: 8/5/2015 04:23:52 AM

"It's all a conspiracy by the Russian Government and Scottish Communists to destroy Australia. Trust me, i've consulted a bunch of Gambling addicts and some Elo Stats"

there so many reason why, Australian government, Australian SIS is concerned by SNP, and how they will act from being a State-regional government to the national level...the fact the SNP want to get ride of Trident is a automatic security risk to Australia

Worst election ever. No frikkin sausage sizzle. And you only find out the results the next day in the afternoon.

Edited by zimbos_05: 8/5/2015 05:29:36 AM

:) the results will be next week....to hard to tell. who and how a government will be formed

How?

-PB

anything, that dilutes British military power, is a automatic security risk to Australia , and has been for 200 years. this major diluting (British having no nuclear capability) would have to be made up somewhere else, By the USA or Australia

British being a nuclear capable military, has be a virtual guarantee of security for Australia, New Zealand and Canada . It also gave Australia some bargaining power in dealing with USA, and how Australian-USA relationship developed

Australia having both USA and British with nuclear capability, make for a far more secure Australia, then having USA alone

I certainly didn't expect this thread to turn out like it has :lol: Having no ties to the UK apart from the ones that our government continues to hold, I couldn't care less about the result. I'm a hobby psephologist though so I like to see how other countries do it whenever an election is run. Think I prefer our system though you do get some interesting outcomes.

i bet on Conservatives getting the most seat, so my money cares :lol:

exit polls saying Conservatives with 316, might be able to win with a very weaker LIB Dem

SNP winning 57 out 59 seats in Scotland

all the per election polls had Conservatives winning less seats, but exit polls saying they win 14 more....I think the raise of SNP will see England become more Conservatives



Edited by adrtho: 8/5/2015 07:46:25 AM

i will call the the election early...Conservatives and Lib Dem should win enough seats to form government

All I can offer is that it seemed like a good idea at the time:oops:

Boredom gets the best of us all mate :lol:

Surprised no bombs or beheadings have taken place

Stay classy Queenslander ;)

dribble mouth (aka "biscuitman1871" ) is nowhere to be seen

where ever good he be?

ah there you are



you should've taken me up on my deal
at least you could exit the forum with some dignity

congratulations - your uninformed prediction appears to be have been more accurate than my uninformed prediction.

You really are a fucking tool

How come the conservatives fail to make much impact in most of Scotland?

what makes you think my prediction was uninformed?

I see you have no dignity whatsoever. You blew your big chance.

Edited by ricecrackers: 8/5/2015 01:40:46 PM

Yes, you must have known more than YouGov and all of the independent pollsters. I bow to your knowledge.

Enjoy talking to yourself cockspank.

lol @ independent pollsters, nobody is independent

sucking in campaign donations is a business model

you're really not too bright.

I'm enjoying your complete meltdown as its well deserved

Because they fucking hate them after Thatcher's reign of terror. She closed down the mines and shipyards so thousands of people lost their jobs and then cut welfare so these people couldn't even feed their families. She then implemented the poll tax there first which went down a fucking treat with those communities.

Scotland saw Toryism at it's worst and see Cameron as an extension of that legacy.

You can never rule out terrorism during a big event, I'm not an islamaphobe ;)

Having been the England a few times I'm an expert ;)

Who said anything about Islam? ;)

I'll chalk that up as a win :lol:

You muppets clearly have no idea about UKIP :lol:

But yeah keep reading the Guardian and telling yourself that UKIP is "racist" and Labour has Britains best interests at heart :lol:




Because of Scottish people.

Nothing about the outcome of this election surprises me.
Majority just swallow the media propaganda whole. No ability to critically think, its not really their fault.

You see what happens when you put one of the simpletons on the spot... their head explodes.
Not that I have anything against simps, but if they decide to take a shot at me they'll get their just desserts.

...but not ricecrackers

so much win :cool:

Examples of someone's head exploding:








Then disappear from the forums for months.

But please continue to give me my just desserts.

Everyone in ET are leftie bigots :p

I see biscuitman1871 (dribble mouth) getting very desperate digging up old threads with no relevance to the topic at hand :d

the guy has lost it totally

not even man enough to admit he was wrong

quality human :-({|=
