I have recently found myself softening towards the lib dems again, yes they look really bad for 'getting into bed' as it were with the tories and for backtracking on the student finance issue ...
However, if it were not for the lib dems in parliament many other unsavory policies would have made it through especially involving employment laws in this country, we have them to thank for that. But you are right joey the liberals will not recover from this for many many years.

We don't have to thank them for anything. The sooner they die as a party, the better.

Labour would likely only need in that scenario the SDLP in N.Ireland for support and possibly all or some of the Nationalists on the mainland.
The Conservatives may, if things improve strongly for them be able to govern with the DUP as support.
The Lib Dems will lose so many seats and have little or no credibility left in my opinion.

I put my vote firmly and proudly in the Labour box.
Not when you don't think there's any prospective of getting real change through the ballot box. What can I say, I'm a cynic.

Oh Bristol has voted for a Mayor, quite surprised seeing as most the other cities didn't, a turnout of only 24% though

I am quite shocked that the lib dems havent fell by more (and the tories for that matter) actually

One of my friends is the lib dem person for a few places in gateshead...and hes had a terrible time when canvassing and that because all hes getting is 'clegg is a lying bastard' and stuff like that (in nicer words obviously). hes getting really stressed about it because he says the local elections are totally different :S

That said..hes ridiculous. They didnt have anyone to stand for Bensham (I think it was) area...so he asked one of my other friends to do it while he was absolutely mortal drunk then pressured him into going to the meetings and that. I thought things like that were took seriously but clearly not

We had our local elections here last year and the LibDems didn't even bother campaigning because they were so unpopular. I can't see that improving much anytime soon. As far as Labour/Conservatives go, I think three years is a long, long time. Getting so many Labour councillors in this week will be a little wake up call for the Labour supporters, but that's what happens when you vote locally on national issues. Conservative councils tend to freeze Council Tax, Labour councils raise it. And they're going to raise it by a lot. So in three years time, people may remember why they voted labour out of government.

Yeah, Harriet Harman, maybe. She'll be as big a weapon for the Tories as Miliband is now.

Obviously I can't vote but if I could I'd vote for Boris, just for the comedy value, he's hilarious

I do actually feel quite sorry for the Lib Dems too, they're generally pretty good at a local level

Indeed and it would be a foolish person who wrote the Conservatives off, however I cannot really see where winning an overall majority will be possible for them at the next election.
The last election should have been a walkover for them really, a totally discredited Labour Govt and Prime Minister with chaos in the country looming.
However it didn't happen even with Labour falling to only 29% of the popular vote, Labour for sure will not be on anything like as low as that next time.

I think it will be massively harder next time for anyone to get an overall majority, the saving grace for the Conservatives may be the Lib Dems doing so badly but they need to get at least 5% ahead of Labour to even have a chance of even getting the barest of overall majorities. I can't see it and I also can't see Labour getting one either on these figures today anyway.

The Garaphics
by J.Vine on the BBC News
showed they only need the magic 11% ahead of Labour
to Win the General Election in 2015.

Labour have some more Corruption to come out by then
I am sick of Dork Ed - saying Millionaires being helped
when he went to see a Stinking Rick Owner
to get money.

Dork Ed in Southhampton was hit
by a Egg on his back
his Jr. grabbed his jacket off him.


There is also today
more of No Overal Control
taking the conservative place in
Wales.
