Totally agreement.

I just looked up my constituency on line and it's pretty safe Tory. Since it was created in 1918 the Tories have won all 27 elections (including by-elections). Based on the 2010 results, Liberals need 11% swing to win and Labour a 16% swing.

Judging by the lack of leaflets and adverts very little money is being spent by any of the parties here, I'm guessing that most of the money is going into the marginal seats.

Same here winning candidate getting nearly 60% of votes and more than twice as many as the runner up. Other parties seem to have given up no leaflets posters or canvassing yet.

It's worse than that. They answer questions which are not the one asked.

We are 6 years out from the financial crash, which brought terms like QE; national debt; and deficit into common usage.

Yet...still I heard the politicians on tv talking about paying down the deficit. You can't pay down a deficit!! I think they want people to confuse debt and deficit still.

They are nothing but polished word cheats. Deception is okay in their books.

So many people really believe the aftershock from the financial crisis is but a distant memory, when in fact it has been no more than delayed.

Though the poorest and weakest have suffered the most in these times of austerity, it has been nothing but a spectacle to show the Tories "just will not stand for it", whatever "it" is.

The now sizable minority of the upper middleclass and richer in the UK have had a wail of a time in this so called time of austerity. Money was needed, and very little has been taken from those that have it, and pennies were taken from those that don't.

We had £375 Billion in QE, we had debt forgiveness like never seen before, just check the amount of debt the Bank of Scotland has had to write off. We have had interest rates lowered to centuries old record levels. And yet with all that it has only been recent years that we have gone into growth again, growth that now appears to show a lowering deficit. Try doing it again with now no weapons in the arsenal.

The actual debt(government and personal) is now way higher than it was at the end of the last government, not blaming them just pointing out a FACT.

Recession has still to come to the UK, I proper recession I might add is where you feel the pain of it if you are not wealthy. You just cannot have a "nice recession" like the government would have you believe.

We all know whats going on, the people Cameron is trying to protect are first "his tribe" and secondly the type of people who are probably the same type crapping themselves on boards such as this, those in heavy debt and those that think they are wealthy through property wealth or just the delusional property wealth.

And lets not forget resentment is not even as much as a scratch away, the disillusioned are more often than not the working slaves that cannot earn enough to pay there way. Has everyone forgot that it was only four years ago that we had major riots in the UK on the verge of spreading to many other cities.

I just have a bit of a feeling that Cameron does not really want this job, and Ed has been put up like a sheep for the slaughter until the day it all blows up and another hero in the Labour party can then come along

basically you will always believe, irrespective of any objective evidence, that everything bad about the UK is directly the Tories fault and everything good is in spite of them.

half empty for ever
