No surprise in the revelation that UKIP are popular in places where degrees are few and far between 
If the original exit poll does prove to be accurate, the coming years will be a test of Cameron's claims as a moderate leader. Whilst i would be glad if it finally enabled us to have an EU referendum, i also believe that the Living Wage should be something which the pubic sector should take a lead on as an employer. There were also those pledges about childcare and the NHS (albeit with the latter having a 2020 deadline).
That's really where we trail behind you politically (well that, and interesting politicians) Where your fringe lunatics can get glossy, Rick Perry-esque campaign videos, ours have to do it on Adobe Premiere in an abandonned warehouse space with their mate Steve from Carphone Warehouse on camera duty.
This is my personal favorite.
Because every Party Political Broadcast needs an introductionary production logo from a teenage iMovie user.
Yep. I thought it was good fun when it was just determining a mathematical winner (which was a given anyway), but I'd hope there aren't corners cut just for this.
Possibly. Although a lot of the forecasts do seem to suggest that UKIP will get a lot of 2nd placed finishes in the north. It's that problem they've had for ages: lots of votes, but hardly any seats.
Yeah, as long as the polls are weighted properly, it's not necessarily difficult for him to be 100% right. I managed as an 18 year old in 2004 for an AP government project. The other group had Kerry winning.
Several polls in 2014 missed in the Senate races by a lot, which affected his accuracy.
I'm not advocating a Berlusconi-esque selection policy, but nice to have someone who isn't white, male and middle-aged.
Great post all-round mate.
Wonder how many people admit to voting UKIP?
He is literally standing in 100% of English constituencies in that freeze frame? He's got my vote.
Not sure but they're pretty loud around here. One was stood outside a polling station not far from where I live today shouting "Don't vote Labour!"
There does seem to be a bit of a shy-UKIP factor with people kinda embarrassed to admit they vote for them.
Would love to see Balls getting teste if he loses his seat.
Ba dum tish.
Ba dum tish.
Andrew Neill is great. Better than Paxo in the acerbic stakes.
He's fantastic at tearing people to shreds.
to simplify everything, labour ruin the country by spending too much and giving too much to too many people who don't give enough back, they try to make everyone well off and comfortable and that just doesn't work in a capitalist society. the tories come in and balance the books by penalising pretty much everyone, but hitting the poor the hardest. they then ruin the country by making the poor too poor and the rich too rich, then labour comes in and the cycle repeats.
i really don't like a lot of what the conservatives stand for but i voted for them his year as i think they're the hero gotham deserves but not the one they want blah blah blah.

Voted Tories. Absolute waste really, given I'm in a poor area in Scotland.
A Scottish Tory?! They exist!
That is just beyond words.
I especially love the efficiently altered MS Paint placards.
Maybe I'm not making myself clear. Ed Balls should be standing in that seat, it's safe as houses. They were saying he's in danger of losing his seat. The hottie shouldn't be in such a safe seat, more's the pity.
This isn't likely be the case irrespective of the winner, however i dearly hope that cuts to the science and research are kept to a minimum.
It seemed a tad hypocritical i thought; more importantly though, the fox hunting debate has ever been an oversimplified one, with claims about its participants made from an ideological standpoint.

In the previous poll in the this thread we had more than 20 didn't we? And nobody posted in the thread that they had or showed their support.
Shall we all get together and secede?
Didn't Batman feck off off a few years and only came back when the City went to shit ?
So yeah......
This looks like it'll be a drubbing.
Which is a disgrace
Paddy Ashdown giving me all the hope in the world
Paddy seems convinced it is wrong. Hope he's just not saving face.
Best to cover all the bases. Especially when you've paid for a nationally televised advert with the same production values as me & Mike's "God's a cnut" gif.
