Does anyone take Miliband at his word when he says he won't go into government with the SNP? I believe him, i don't think he would explicitly promise he wouldn't if he intended to go back on it, people wouldn't let him live it down. It can't be a last ditch attempt to convince Scottish voters to vote Labour because if the opinion polls are to be believed they'd need to win about 20-30 seats in Scotland to be able to form a coalition without the SNP which he can't possibly believe will happen
So if neither of the main parties will do a deal with the SNP then unless the opinion polls are drastically wrong it's impossible for either of them to be able to form a government and it's hard to see how that will ever be the case even after a second election unless the voting system changes or Scotland stops voting SNP which won't happen until they get independence
Are we gonna be like Belgium after this election where we just don't have a government for a while until the first past the post system is changed?
I stopped paying attention to Question Time last night after Miliband said that, the campaign rhetoric and promises are all pointless if no-one can actually get elected

“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
