You are of course talking as someone who is not a politician. The Japanese, if I remember correctly, call their politicians the three faced men. Depending on what face you are looking at you will see/hear something different.
LibDems want seats in England where the current narrative is anti SNP so Clegg joins in.
Now if the picture after the election means that they have a chance of power again with Labour do you really think a minority party is going to pass up the chance.
Forget honouring promises(e.g. university fees) or what was said before the election, power is the game. There will always be excuses but they count on people forgetting.
Andrew Neil is trying to get into comedy the way This Week has been going for sometime now. He's trying far too hard. You heard what Portillo said about the immigrants and the reaction from the audience?
There was such a lot of tension and bitterness on that show that night like something happened before broadcast started.
Look at the hostility they had for Hardeep Singh Kohli.

Scotland is blue and white… Or yellow and red…
As well as red, white and blue if you're a Rangers fan.

I expect the UKIP vote not to match their polling come election day.
Even 13-14% will only give them a maximum of a handful of seats. The GE will concentrate the minds of protest voters and most will vote Conservative on the day however much they enjoy polling for UKIP meantime.

It has to be a Tory vote. They need more time to repair Labour's damage. I can't see the Lib Dems getting anywhere; they are surely doomed.
A Tory/Labour coalition would be fascinating to watch and perhaps even good for the nation, but there's no way it will happen. (Having said that, I'm quite happy to be proved wrong).
UKIP is too populist; they haven't got the guts to do what needs to be done. They're basically the right wing equivalent of the Greens.
Except... it did change. Hence the Lib Dem/Tory coalition.

why is the EU trying to force equality on every country when actual countries don't have any equality themselves.....
Merkel the better your economy is the more refugees you can take in can **** off.
EU is good for what? bringing the successful countries down to some median where we are all as worse off as each other at countries with a strong GDPs expense... not like we have much say in the EU either well pretty much 0 influence.
Getting sick of hearing European leaders being outspoken about other EU members like they own them.
someone should tell here no one trusts Germany because they are a bunch of facists nazis and ww2 didn't change much clearly when she thinks she has the right to determine and influence the policies of another sovereign nation.

It's too late, Germany now owns Europe at the fourth attempt. I fear this general election is our one and only chance to extricate ourselves from this reich.
The UK is partly to blame for Germany taking the lead in the EU though, we've completely stepped back whilst still throwing money at it. Incredibly short signed thing to do but since fixed term parliaments came in we've had an increasing amount of short sighted actions by all politicians.
She acts like the EU is some kind of utopian society and we can pull all these immigrants up to our level....
Whilst we have millions of people attending food banks as it is probably a large percent of those are foreigners anyway so I'm sure we did our part to end up like this.
I wonder what food bank usage in the UK is compared to the rest of europe
Maybe she genuinely believes immigration and refugees have 0 impact on a country like most of our leaders because their kids don't go to council run schools and don't live in the poor areas with these people sharing public transport, gp and dental surgeries etc which are over subscribed in large parts of the country leading to huge waiting lists and suffering
most people would be shocked if there kids had to go to a crappy school where threes over 30 kids per teacher and like the majority no longer speak english as a first language which becomes a massive burden on a teachers resources.often the parents rely on their kids to translate which eats up more of a teachers time.
I'd love to know how many teachers are against immigration since it must make their jobs a hell of a lot harder and more stressful but I bet they dare not speak out in case they get fired.
lets face it anyone who comes to this country from the middle east/africa is bound to be in urgent need of dental care how much money is this costing the NHS? must be thousands per person and even 10 years ago people were complaining they can't get a dentist but the amount of people the government are letting in is up above even labour levels and they admitted they basically had an open border policy

- Leave the EU costing us up to 56Bn a year in lost trade and weaker trade negotiations.
- Block immigration for 5 years
- Introduce a futile controlled immigration policy based on Australia when our labour requirements are completely different
- Reduce benefits for those that need it the most
- End Sex Education in Primary schools
- Abolish the smoking ban
- Scrapping HS2
- Scrapping the Climate Change Act
- Subsidizing the coal industry while simultaneously cutting subsidies for renewable
- Tax cuts for the rich
- Increase defense spending
- Decrease foreign aid
- Deplete our fish stocks so they collapse like Atlantic Cod
- Massively increase the cost of of the prison system with no tenable benefit
And that is just scratching the surface, the whole lot is a joke.
no one said cut off the island but it feels like we have 0 influence in the EU for such a long time now, something has to change
If the EU is so great why did iceland drop their membership bid this year?
They must still trade with the EU anyway but of course with the UK no one likes us and they would build a wall around our country and refuse to take our money or products even if it was in their best interests

Angela does and will continue to make the EU do whatever is best for Germany. For all the media insisting that it's Libyans, Syrians and Eritreans making up these migrants, everyone I've seen has been sub-saharan African. They don't want to go to Germany, they want to go to the UK - as soon as they're given asylum somewhere in Europe they'll abscond and make their way to the Calais and then to the UK.

What do you suggest we do with these folks then scorza, since it appears they will continue making the crossings?

Well I'd like to try what they do in Australia - tow the boats back to wherever they came from. You gotta be tough in this world if you don't want to be the world's doormat. One thing though I do think we should fast-track asylum applications from middle-eastern Christians who literally have nowhere to go.
Get rid of the useless UKIP MEPs and we can get much more influence again.
It is hard to raise your voice when the people that are supposed to defend Britain's interests have one of the worst attendance records in the EU and when thy do turn up they actively vote against Britain's interests.
the UKIP MEPS should be imprisoned for treason and replaced with MEPs that actually care about Britain and want to give Britain the power to change things within the EU.

So, these are policies you disagree with. (and with your own spin on them) Care to explain why you think they are outrageous?

Suggestion was some of those fleeing from Africa are Christian, forced to join an army, or else be butchered by the hoard against them. Several people on one boat were arrested for throwing Christians overboard to their deaths.
Although it may not be an IS state, there is a war raging through most of Africa (no doubt based on old tribal lines) but now the lines are drawn with the expansion and subjugation by Islam across Africa.
The whole place is a mess, towing the boats back isn't going to help.
