Who will win the UK election ?

That's right vote for the rich, not the evil Miliband who restricted the powers of this guy and other media moguls. Think on and do what he says.

Jews are wealthy and renowned entrepreneurs, so don't rely on state benefits. Also, they are obviously concerned about religious extremism which Labour has ignored for years due to political correctness while encouraging people that desire state benefits into the country.

So a majority in favour of a Tory government is hardly a surprise. :T

Not really.

The Jewish vote was heavily pro-Labour until the 1960s-1970s. What has changed is the British Left. Typically pro-Zionist in the aftermath of WWII, they have become increasingly anti-Zionist, thereby alienating much of the Jewish vote.

With the BBC plus the Guardian wining the air war (which was the Tories big hope but they have discovered that they don't control the agenda) and the Tories not having the resources to win the ground war it is looking like labour will be able to make a coalition with the rump of the lib dems without having to sign up to a faustian pact with the SNP despite the likely Scottish Labour wipeout.

It is funny that in England Labour are winning via the magic money tree promises and yet in Scotland the SNP have an even larger magic money tree to attract the voters.

Next election I'm going to come home and promise a minimum income of a million squids for every Englishman that can show a selfie with their ballot paper with a cross in the right place.

Democracy? Mon cul.

And they waste all that time and money on campaigning when it turns out they should just be fixing people's names at birth:

I will allow your own Tory press to explain.

The first of these came nine months into his leadership, when he confronted the power of the Rupert Murdoch and challenged his bid for the remaining shares in BSkyB. Up to that point every single political leader from Margaret Thatcher on had wooed Murdoch and considered that his support was an essential route to political power.

There is no question that he was effective in changing the terms of trade. We do not need to resort to conjecture to demonstrate this, as we know that the Prime Minister sent a message to Rebekah Brooks, the chief executive of News International, in which he apologised for not being as loyal to her as she had been to him because ‘Ed Miliband had me on the run’.

The funny thing is the Murdoch paper News of The World hacked people's phones and it was the worst thing that has ever happened with the Guardian and BBC becoming apoplectic in their condemnation and yet the Labour supporting Mirror did the same thing on the same scale and it has caused barely a ripple.

I'm sure there's something illegal in that somewhere.

You can't even offer sausage rolls.....

A UKIP parliamentary candidate is to be questioned over allegations he tried to influence voters by giving away sausage rolls at a party event featuring snooker star Jimmy White.

Kim Rose, standing in Southampton Itchen, said he had been told to report to police over allegations of treating.

Electoral Commission rules state food and entertainment cannot be provided by candidates to "corruptly influence" votes.

All politicians are giving us 'pork pies' constantly!

Many countries in Europe are now voting against austerity, the one saving grace for the Tories(if you can call it that) is that he has conned enough people into thinking they are rich.

Just one little property crash and the Trillion plus debt that sits on the back of going **** up and it is anti austerity government UK all they way.

I also get a sneaking suspicion that non of the main parties really want the key to No 10.
