That actually seems to have gone down well with good numbers of people.

That is one of the things I like about Ukip - their support for the pub trade. I haven't really looked at their manifesto yet but I hear its the only one to have been fully costed by an independent body as well which gives them a bit more credibility.

They seem to be slipping in the polls right now though and I think they'll be left disappointed overall with their performance in the election

It would be a massive backwards step, UKIP are aging yuppies that want everything to so back to the 'glory' days of their youth where Women weren't allowed in the golf club except on 'lovely girls' day and you could expose everyone else in the bar to your second hand smoke without question.

The general view I am getting is that UKIP have generated a lot of interest with this launch of their manifesto today.
I am finding a more positive response to them today for sure.

I am just catching up with it as I have been out most of the day canvassing for another party.

However if this is true too, they have struck another chord as well as to also saying they would get rid of ATOS style re-assessments and testing for the sick and disabled.
Even I could fully support that move.

Being fair, I would say this is the only manifesto that I am finding more talking about after its launch.

I was quite impressed by UKIPs mind..I have to say. All I have ever heard from them really is the EU thing. Even their stance on immigration isnt as harsh as people think.


Mind, those manifestos are barely worth wiping your arse with when the time actually comes...

[LeatherTrumpet]

did anyone hear the disgusting speech by Clegg today?

The pathetic scaremongering, the patronising?

I hope him and his lilly livered party get wiped out in May

he is a scandal

smh

Nick Clegg: ''The Liberal Democrats will add a heart to a Conservative government and a brain to a Labour one''


unbelievable

[smudgie]

We appear to be having an invasion of the top MPs of late.
We had Boris and George, then Dave On Monday, then Yvette yesterday and today her hubby Ed ventured onto our doorstep.
Very close margin between Labour and the Tories, makes for an interesting result.

groups like uaf and hope not hate, are saying that if ukip win the 2020 election, we will have norsefire style dictatorship, and some of them claimed that nigel farage is the real version of adam sutler, the estabilishment parties are having sleepless nights about ukip, that they lie and claim that ukip will deport british born foreigners, or put them in concentration style camps, and that gays will be put into these camps aswell, 13 years of labour, we have two invasions of other countries, mass surveillance systems, to 90 day detention, and mass cover up of child abuse in rotherham, to rochdale, for political correctness, tolerance and diversity, and multculturalism, so who are the real dictatorship party, ukip or labour, make your choice.

Still 3 weeks to go and again this election is being ruined by all the talk of deals and coalitions.
In any election the supposition should be all parties are there to win it,so just ask them about their policies and their visions for the UK.

All this who will you go with, is really annoying,to me anyway. Of course root out the really important policies they parties will fight for the mos but spending interview after interview, hour after hour, day after day harping on about doing a deal with this ,that one or no one, really becomes tedious.

It is like the trident issue with the SNP, Greens and Plaid Cymru.okay they will vote against it, in parliament, the Conservatives will renew all 4,the Lib Dems likely 3, Labour certainly 3 but also 4 if the official guidance is that it is necessary to do so.
UKIP behind renewal too.

So where is the issue,all those votes to renew it and leaving still the SNP,Plaid Cymru and the Greens totally free to vote against as to their conscience.
It is a waste of time even raising the issue,let alone discussing it,yet there it is in every interview.

Yes Farage has No Deals made
but his number 2 has set some up ready
its normal.

Last time in 2010
Gordon Browns Team
were not ready for a Coalition
they were not united


David was united and well ready
and got it faster
to become PM.

Not really, David Cameron came through because he was 48 seats ahead of Labour and the fact Labour and the Lib Dems would have had to rely on other parties to govern.
David Cameron wanted a coalition possibly even less than Labour did.

I am aware the parties will be thinking about 'after' the election and working out their talks guidelines.

I was referrring to the interviewers,presenters, the political programming and news and media always going on about who will do this deal with who, which is starting, I am finding on the doorsteps anyway, to annoy voters who are in fact really hearing about and learning less and less as to the parties policies.

" interviewers,presenters, the political programming and news and media "

well once you have heard Clegg
every other interview is the Fecking same



I just Hope Crick on Ch4HDNews
digs up a whopper

I know....its crazy that the number of kitchens someone has can make first page news ......

[smudgie]

I am more concerned about the about the Labour Peer not being prosecuted for kiddyfiddling due to his age and health.
He deserves a fair trial then throw away the key if he is guilty..and an apology f not.

It doesn't surprise me with the pathetic Sun, it is so desperate to try to get the Conservatives an overall majority this time, that it has to really dig deeper into the very bottom of its gutter for its reporting.

How this is considered by anyone to be a serious newspaper is beyond me completely.
