    In a heartbeat.

    And if you genuinely think a HP followed by the indecision and wishy washy policies of a coalition is the best bet in the current climate then I despair..

    I would rather the Liberals in than Tories but that is my own opinion. My best outcome would be for a hung parliment then possibly a second General Election within a year. That could cause a Labour leadership contest that could make way for someone like Ed Milliband to take the helm, who I have been very impressed with.

    Also if you live in Wales then a hung parliment seems to be the best option :)

    i have never even bothered to look at the liberals policies, because the few I have seen cost me more. I would be worse off under them, so they can f*** off.

    Ok fine but I don't live in Wales!

    Besides, the many months of mucking about wth no clear direction after a HP would be a total nightmare for the whole country...

    If Ed Milliband had any guts like a true leader should, he would have already gone for the party leadership before now. He is too busy looking after his own best interests!
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.

    Suspect we are all going to be worse off under pretty much any party come May - that much is clear

    For me it's about who appears to have the genuine will to get us out of the hole we are in and Labour appear to answer such questions by calling for yet more digging...

    I agree, it would not be great for Britian as a whole but as this article suggests it could help clear up politics once and for all instead of hopping from one poor government to the next.

    A future fair for all? Wouldn't a fair be rather tame compared to the present orgy for the bankers and the circus the rest of us endure?
