And from a party POV whilst Millibug hasn't done "well" he could argue that he did better than expected, and was buggered by the Scottish "experience", which was really not of his making. Not that I am the slightest bit "interested", you understand. Clegg resigning Is there any point in 6 MPs having a "leader"? tim |

Gone from a hung prediction to a possible absolute majority for the tories. My money is on Millibean Clegg resigning as leaders in the next few months. With Balls down, both announcing they will do so within days, I'd say. UKIP/LD voters, just as well I'm not a betting man eh? At least with Balls gone, and probably Milliband standing down as leader, Labour may now develop a sensible and credible economic policy, compared with the profligate rubbish of the past. But with Mrs. Balls now well placed to become party leader, I wouldn't bet on it! Labour is probably finished long term, Not a chance. There is no other viable major. the lib dems almost certainly are. We'll see... UKIP and SNP and the Greens are the parties that have traction. SNP certainly have in Scotland. The other two have just one MP each. There are plenty of other parties that leave that for dead. SNP are just a narrow racist party of bigots, Plenty say that about UKIP too. but that's what the scots want. Greens are getting huge funding and will be the new party of the hard left. Yes, but with just one MP, they are completely irrelevant, just like the Communists have always been. UKIP will become the new centre right party. Not a chance with just one MP and no 'leader' **** off Rod |
