        If only that can be guaranteed. Depending on how bad Cameron fares, and how good Clegg fares. With a hung Parliament most likely, even if he finishes in 3rd place by popular vote, he still has the right, as outgoing Prime Minister, to continue as Prime Minister to try to form a minority government. That right to try to form a government has a legal precedence.

          True, but I'm expecting a (very small) Tory majority. That said, maybe an electoral system shake-up would be a good thing. One thing I think is certainly true is that there's going to be the biggest turn out this election since '97 and possibly a lot longer still. That'd shove the polls into a cocked hat. We'll meet, sir, on the hustings!

              Clegg certainly has got the interest of the young first time voters somewhat roused. Must have been that first TV debate that did that.

                      Work with the local party, post the leaflets, on the knock and contribute time, money and effort. I am helping tomorrow to fetch people out to the voting centers and doing the 'running', getting polls back to central office, that sort of thing. This country needs to be shot of that fat bastard, and get a Conservative Government back in control.

                          It was, I believe, Flaubert, who, in 'Madame Bovary', said "inside every revolutionary is a policeman". And it was Robert Holmes who said "Every oligarchy gets the police force it deserves" You can take your pick as to which one applies in this case :)

                            If you manage it, then consider yourself lucky. We had to wait 8 years to get rid of the last worse than useless sack of shit.

                                    Whoever gets in has to administer some pretty foul-tasting medicine, but at least the Tories are telling you this and getting the treatment started ASAP. I foresee a harsh four years, followed by an easing as they prepare for the next election in February 2015. (Standard ploy of incumbent governments, the Labour Party call them in the warmer, dryer months so that there is more chance of their supporters getting out to vote. The Conservatives call in the colder, darker, wetter times, as they tend to own better cars.)

                                          Work with the local party, post the leaflets, on the knock and contribute time, money and effort. I am helping tomorrow to fetch people out to the voting centers and doing the 'running', getting polls back to central office, that sort of thing. This country needs to be shot of that fat bastard, and get a Conservative Government back in control.

                                          A serious question - do you help fetch people to the voting centres regardless of who they support? I have deep misgivings about the Conservative party, almost as much as Labour by the way.
