I have voted for the same party for 37 years and believe they did the best for this country, in the main. No-one can be perfect or please all the people all the time. They were even good at picking up the pieces after the opposition slipped in for a short period and put the country into a recession, as again now, although this time they are monumentally failing to make good the wrongs of labour. I think the time has come for change. The UK does not want to morph into the ways of other countries nor be accountable to a foreign body for what we can and cannot do. We want a government that wants to make Britain GREAT again. A country that manufactured and exported, a country that was known for its stiff upper lip, honour and pride. We should stop allowing people into our 'home' and insisting we change it to suit their native ways. We have lost our identity because of this. We can no longer celebrate Christmas, its now merely a holiday for goodness sake! When in Rome! The UK is English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish. We have long standing traditions and they should remain strong. It is our heritage and we should fight for it. A new party must be pulled to the forefront at next election to achieve this. Those who have been in the running forever and a day have had their chance and obviously can't cut it.

That old lady at Huffpost has either lost, or not posted my comments again! I am getting a picture of what she likes and doesn't like....it is difficult because she is quite inconsistent.

Off topic slightly but..Serbia: Nationalist Tomislav Nikolic wins presidential elections ahead of the pro EU Tadic

Should read pincer effect! Sorry!

Another thought, with Tony Blair considering a come-back, an interesting question has to be asked. How will the pair impact on each other? Talk about pincer effec!

This is hardly news, it was bound to happen, not that Ed Miliband is a viable choice, he is certainly not. It has been said by others, forget the big 3, think of an alternative. I shall be voting UKIP at the next GE, if for one reason alone, Europe, and as a bonus, the hope a few UKIP MP's get elected to add to the mix of the HOC, with the hope of creating a good debate.

Ah hp why do you not post my comments??

History repeats its self once again. If only the voters would try someone else instead of the big 3. Why do voters have such short memories and beleieve all the rubbish these politicians say? The Tories,Labour and Libdems are all useless liers. Time for a complete change in politics if the voters would wake up.

Imagine haw far ahead they would be with a leader blessed with a spine!

Another disaster heading towards the country. Why can’t we have politicians who come from ordinary backgrounds instead of these mummy cuddled boys who know nothing of the real Britain?

Is the rest of the country aware that Ed Miliband is from a constituency that is still trying to pick itself up from when a lot of the Labour councillors had to be sacked from ripping off the councils? This was before the expenses problems were released. Now far be it from me to state facts but there seems to be some sort of pattern amongst labour involvements, no money left in Doncaster, no money left in the UK, but yet again, history repeats itself, Labour get us in a mess and the tories get us out of it, then the younger generation that are able to vote without the knowledge of the past come along and vote labour in, an so it begins again. Hey ho.

The only opinion poll that will matter is the one some time in 2015 when ther next General Election will be held - go back to 2009 and Cameron was streets ahead but at the election failed to gain an overall majority .

And the next election will have 69 fewer seats ( many vanished in Labour stronghold in the North and Midlands and Scotland ) and totally new electoral boundaries - the biggest change in 50 years -so any forecasts for anyone have to be suspect until much nearer election day .
.


With the Tories on 32% and Lib Dems on 11% they still outnumber Labour but this assumes an even spread of support across the whole country which is never the reality - Labour need to be on over 50% in 2015 just before the election to be certain of winning an overall majority - the Tories probably only need 40% and the Lib Dems 11% - 15% to maintain the Coalition
