General Chat

agree with Sheila :-D

There are (at least) 2 misapprehensions that some people have - that government has some responsibility to improve their lot, and that 'things should always get better'.

There's always the wailing about broken 'promises' etc. as if it's something new. Governments don't always do what they say they're going to - they just do what they have to :-)

The turn out in the last election was only about 65 per cent.

Yes barbara, we will be doomed. Im all for putting the "Great" back into great Britain. Most def against independance.

I also want out of Europe..but that's a different subject for another time.

Common Bob what did you say that was sooo bad eh?

I was at the supermarket and a group of young mums (about 5 or 6) were chatting, and stating that none of them were going to bother voting. Seems that neither were their partners either. I've heard this so much of late and am wondering what the turn-out will be. Really interesting, and I will also be up waiting to see what happens ;-) :-)

No he didn't have much to contribute to a sensible debate I suppose - although I didn't think it was reportable.

OMG What has Bob said now :-P

Florence .I don't want a separate country from England .together we stand .divided we fall .that's my take on things .If SNP get in we are doomed as Frazier would say from Dads Army . :-)

Thank you Bob for your educating, informed and sensible addition to the debate.

:-D :-D :-D Bob lol x

The SNP absolutely know that this is payback time - very childish.

Labour will lose whatever they are holding on to by their fingertips north of the border but will depend on the SNP to help them at Westminster.

Even if the Conservatives win, we will see a parliament run in the main by Labour and SNP.

There will be a very strong sour grapes vote north of the border.

Oh, and doesn't Sturgeon look like Merkel?

RR yes I always stay up as late as I can. Getting plenty of supplies to keep me awake.pringles, pretzels, dips, wine gums etc.. cant wait!

Hi folks. Well up here I am in a bit of a dilemma as are a lot of other people. In the islands the SNP hold power here and have done for a while. Now I am totally against them but also dont vote labour. As a Tory up here it really is a wasted vote!

So what do I do?

Should I vote labour to try and rid us of the SNP? or vote Tory and keep the SNP?

I know this is a general election but up here its a bit different.

Anybody else in Scotland feel the same way?

I have always done because of its importance and for a number of years because it was my job to.

Who stays up most of the night to watch as the results come in?

I will be, and son and I ( his first election as an adult) will be nudging each other awake, I foresee lots of snacks and coffee will be needed :-D

"So, what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?".

One of the greatest questions of all time in dumbed down television.

People do get so jealous.
