Early vote for me after checking out the mums political opinions at the school gates early doors.

Private school so everyone will vote Tory to nobble Jeremy's plans for adding VAT to private school fees. 

Full day ahead meetings in the morning hopefully no political discussion then probably catch up on a few emails and clear some admin in the afternoon. 

Middle-management for the NHS? How super for you!

Although to be fair Blair's first term was good, and the Lib Dems had little choice but to go with the Tories when they won more seats than Labour.

I seriously disagree, I think the Libs sold their soul, and should have gone with Labour. They are still paying for it, as I knew they would the day Clegg walked out as deputy PM on that sunny day

They had little choice but to support the Tories. The Tories were the largest party - both in votes and seats - the public wouldn't have accepted the Lib Dems propping up a discredited Labour government who it was widely seen has having been voted out, and Brown wouldn't step down as PM (the Lib Dems' first condition).

It is true that they could have forced the Tories to try to govern as a minority and supported them on a case-by-case basis, rather than entering a coalition. Whether that would have been better than trying to restrain the Tories from the inside of a coalition, I don't know - since that failed too.

I agree that it has destroyed the Lib Dems for a generation at least though.

What Cleggy should have done was a supply and support deal. But no, the lure of power was too great so off he went on bender throwing out his Lib Dem principles and showing why small parties should never be in a debate with Labour and the Tories on TV. The advertising standards people should have been able to prosecute him for misleading advertising, lying and worse. A pompous, odious grasping politician who sneers at anyone he disagrees with. I hope he loses his seat. I have decided I dislike him more than Cameron. My sister-in-law met him and immediately disliked him. She said he was arrogant.

I don't think Nick Clegg had any Lib Dem principles other than being pro Europe. Clegg entered into coalition with the Conservatives because he is a Conservative. I agree, a snake of a man.

corbyn supports independent music venues..

Not to mention wanting to give all primary age kids the chance to learn a musical instrument for free. I work in that sector and have seen first hand what having the funding taken away has done to music in schools.

btw I am wondering if Diane Abbot is genuinely ill

If it is migraines (as she said before), they knock 40 to 50 IQ points out of you during an attack. 

I'm not sure she's got that many to spare.

Yet no one appears to be sticking their neck out and actually speaking up to back you.

What's that theory about Tory voters keeping quiet until marking their cross again?

So much nasty hate from people where's your sense of fun and adventure.

People in Yorkshire on BBC news who have been life long Labour voters are voting Tory tomorrow.

Good to see real people in traditional Labour strong holds will be voting Tory tomorrow.

Labour always have to borrow more to fix the Tory mess they always leave behind.

Love how Tory supporters are in total denial about their party's past performance !

and their Leaders past associations......

A complete shower of shit and the front bench this time round is the worst in living memory and still you are confident about putting them in power. 

Delluded if you believe May's pipe dreams can come true.

I can see what you did there

Jamaican working class parents, got a degree from Cambridge

Unlikely to be thick

I'd thought she was just being half-arsed, but after a few bad interviews I've reconsidered

The most important thing is that people get out and vote for the mighty blues tomorrow.

Looks like she may well have a rather higher IQ than we give her credit for based on her recent performance.  If that is anything to go by maybe we should go easy on Capo, he may well be a genius but just gets nervous when typing on public forums.

Paid for doing what ? Voicing a positive Tory opinion on an Internet guitar forum?

Too many people scared to admit voting Tory in this election #secrettoryseverywhere

Someone needs to highlight that Labours pipe dream policies will never come to fruition if they get elected or not. They will say anything to secure a vote. Desperate Party.
