This part is true. The only problem would be post-Queen's speech when it comes to issue on policy: the minority government may struggle to get certain things through without the support of the SNP if they decided to be awkward.
Indeed. This is where the SNP will start to flex their muscles, but I think they'll keep quiet until after the Queens speech to make sure tories are out

Agreed. Really don't see any way for Cameron to get back into government.
 
Random thought. Extremely unlikely scenario, but what happens if 2, or even 3 parties get the exact number of votes in a constituency?

Only way right now is if the polls are wrong. Which they could be, and still has me sweating! Even the BBC exit poll in 1992 had the tories 25 shy of a majority.
 
Is there any particular preference over there as to who gets into government out of Labour and the Tories?
I guess in very general terms unionists want the Tories and nationalists would prefer Labour. The DUP are hoping the numbers fall their way so they can make a deal with the Conservatives. They want an EU referendum too, they'll have nine seats to offer.
 
Just found out John Major was a Torie :eek:

For some reason always thought he was Labour. TBF though I was born in 93'

Suppose polls are more accurate these days. But aye, could always be inaccurate.
 
Voted Labour. Feel a little dirty about it since I promised I'd never vote for them after Iraq

Why do you think the Greens are the best, and then Labour the worst?

I don't know if it's about being best necessarily, however if were asked to list each party by rank that is approximately how it would end up. The Greens have some policies with which i agree and the Tory incumbent wasn't an option on this occasion. For all that they are a bit mad there is more honesty from Bennett and co than Labour.
 
Think how much money we'd save if we just got the people who participate in the exit poll to elect everyone.
 
I wish I had that optimism :(

He really isn't going to have any way to get back in, to be honest. Lib Dems may try to support him, but even then, he's just not going to have enough seats unless there's a sudden shift towards the Tories that the polls haven't reflected.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a shift though with the media's slander & scaremongering.
 
Think we're in for an high turnout . People who have not voted for a long time and new voters.

Possibly, but I think Miliband's been coming across a lot better than Cameron in England recently. A lot of people find the media bias towards the Tories in certain places a bit obvious and ridiculous.

Think social media does help a bit, I'm seeing a lot of people saying they will voted.
