Which party is going to win next UK elections?
February 18, 2013 at 11:26 am
Do you think David Cameron is going to stay in power? If not, which party is going lead next UK elections?
p.s. No answer is stupid, I'll appreciate your opinion.

I am not sure, Labour were looking like it would be easy but they appear to be out of their depth at the moment. With their by-election candidate supporting terrorism (he wished the IRA had killed Thatcher in Brighton) and their lack of a viable alternative economic policy (they will just keep on with austerity) I think that Ed Milliband won't make it.
Which is a shame, I would have considered giving them a second chance, but since I dont live in the UK anymore i have lost some interest in them.
I do somehow respect Cameron, which I am worried by the Euroskepticism that may undermine the UK position in the world, he did risk his parties integrity and did the right thing by supporting the equal marriage bill which I do admire him for.

I rather think that Labour have made themselves unelectable, at least for the forseeable future. Unless there's some pretty drastic revisions made, the ghosts of Blair, Mandelson and Campbell etc will likely continue to haunt the party for a very long time. I will never put my cross by a Tory name; and since New Labour bear as much resemblance to the party I support as the Cameron/Clegg ministry does, it puts people like me in a bit of a bind.
Looking at the current party figures and assuming the traditional loss of votes for the sitting incumbents in subsequent elections, that coalition majority of 78 looks vulnerable. So bottom line for me would be: I have no idea.

I hope it will be a coalition again. I like the fact that parties have to work together for a government.
If I'm still in the country I'll probably vote Liberal Democrat.

I doubt I will vote for any of the parties listed. Tbh, I don't know if I will vote... there doesn't seem to be a party that I can really get behind. I pretty much loathe all the current ones.

You would guess wrong. they didn't even win the last one and are far far more unpopular now.

He made some bad taste comments in ahumerous book 20 years ago.
Quote:Sadiq Khan told Andrew Neil they were written 20 years ago, and added: "Some of it is in bad taste and should not have been said, but he was writing a book that was at the time, very funny, very witty."
Quote:I do somehow respect Cameron, which I am worried by the Euroskepticism that may undermine the UK position in the world, he did risk his parties integrity and did the right thing by supporting the equal marriage bill which I do admire him for.
So one bright chink in the miasma of crap that he stands for.
