36% would actually be a pretty amusing final Tory score - it'd be fun to see where the end up, seats wise, with the same percentage as last time.0

Seems like you know there is everything to know about politics.MaxPB said:
Again, the "challengers" debate includes the opposition and only the opposition. Also, since Dave, Nige and Nick get less screen time than Ed (one less appearance for Dave and Nige, two less for Nick) they will be able to make that up elsewhere for political balance reasons.SMukesh said:

Yes, for this exact reason. You literally don't understand how politics works.SMukesh said:It is really funny all these Tories predicting ED IS going to be hammered when it`s their leader who is the chicken.
Cameron ran scared of the debates for a reason,ladies!
Honestly, you just don't get this politics malarkey. Dave has won. Ed has lost. He is going into a room with 4 anti-establishment parties as the one defending the establishment. Dave and Nick get to sit at home laughing while they tuck into a nice meal and chortle into their beers.
As far as when the 5-way is taking place then if I were Cameron I would be out somewhere meeting the people and making a speech and looking prime ministerial and in control, not squabbling with a bunch of political midgets for the extremist vote.MaxPB said:

Apparently I look at a different PB, as what I see is PB Tories get excited by polls showing the Tories doing well, and not liking the ones which do not, and PB non-Tories mocking that no-one mentions the latter, even when they do (just not as much as the ones they like obviously).

I swear, never before even in jest have I been so certain my individual attention is somehow impacting a sporting event - I don't think England have scored a point whenever I click over, and something terrible is always going on instead. With the amount of points conceded by both sides, that's remarkably unlucky if nothing else.0

The actual figures show Tories have a lead of over 3%:
Con 35.8
Lab 32.6
Lib 7.2
UKIP 13.7
Green 6.2
In Scotland:
Con 24.6
Lab 32.0
Lib 4.5
Green 4.5
UKIP 4.5
SNP 30.6
Baxtering that (changed UKIP, LD and Green from 4.5 to 4.2 in scotland to get it below 100% gives:
C305
L298
LD10
Green 1
SNP 14
UKIP 0
I suspect the SNP figure is distorted by Scotland only having a small sample (134). Add another 25 SNP seats at the expense of Labour and it has got a distinct whiff of Jack W's ARSE.

He doesnt need to hand pick his audience he is good at that kind of thing. He wasnt running scared of the debates, or a big jessie. It was a calculation and negotiating tactic. You have to give him credit to getting what he wanted. There are few people who could out debate cameron he is very very good. This is all about limiting Milibands exposure. He isnt as bad as he is made out to be.malcolmg said:

It's the same with Ed, he gets lambasted for the whole brother thing. Actually, someone who is willing to push the envelope and spot a weakness, and then exploit is the kind of person you need. That ruthless streak which got him leadership of his party is a credit.

The problem for the Conservatives at the time was that they had also bought into the perpetual boom thing. While they warned about the deficit (it wasnt particularly large, but it was on the wrong side of sensible, and at the point in the economic cycle (2006/7/8) there really shouldnt be a deficit.FrankBooth said:TSE - Eh. It was the absurdity of the electoral system that saw Labour win in 2005 not the Tories fail in 2010. The Tories convinced 37% of the British people to support them in 2010 which didn't provide a majority of seats. They were lucky however that a party that had fought three elections to the left of Labour absurdly decided to form a 5 year coalition with the Tories.
As for the financial crisis it should have helped the Tories as the main opposition party. However they revealed themselves as such a pair of shallow lightweights (as admitted by the then Bank of England Governor) that they couldn't take advantage.
But it was hard to pin things on Brown, he had gained a reputation as an iron chancellor when he kept to very difficult spending plans the Conservatives had left him, at that point a growing economy, reduced spending and increasing employment was filling up the treasury. The 3g windfalls were put against the debt, we were a few decisions away from being debt free.
At that point Brown decided to ramp up public spending.
Cameron and Osborne are not cutters, they arent right wing libertarian ideologues. They are just trying to put the system back together.0 -

Except it isn't, but I guess we can let that go in favour of one's favourite personal meme. I'd be annoyed if I couldn't find the opportunity to do my personal thing - although fortunately I can always find the opportunity to be self righteous, which is my thing, if not mine alone.compouter2 said:

The only poll that gets talked about on here is the one that shows the Tories in the best light. It doesn't matter which polling company it is, it swaps on a daily/weekly basis, even ICM lost it's gold standard for not being over Hodged. It's the PB way.SquareRoot said:

Is now the time to remind fans that Ford was born in Oldham (on the fringes of the Northern Powerhouse) and is the son of former Wigan Rugby League half back Mike Ford.
To be fair its obvious from his running lines.0 -

Amazing match. Shame England's defence couldn't hold up. Also, Haskell is a turd.0

@Dannythefink: Nigel Farage's approval/disapproval ratings as measured by Opinium and published today are exactly the same as Ed Miliband's.0

Well that was awesome. The yellow card cost them the 6 Nations. And some very poor lineouts. But what a game0
-
So close, so exciting...and to think the Scottish guy got over the try line in the last few minutes of the Ireland game and dropped the ball....
However, Ireland were the best team overall.
But I don't think the New Zealander are going to be having too many sleepless nights over playing Northern Hemisphere teams in the WC.0 -
Glad I went to the pub to watch the match. Didn't think we would do it, but the boys did all that was asked of them . A thoroughly good advert for international rugby. My main gripe is that we weren't making the tackles and when we did, not hitting the French hard enough. But kudos to the crapauds for fighting to the end.0

My 20 poll average has them neck and neck at the moment. Mainly because Excel rounds 0.5 down for some reason :-( This should be back to a Tory lead.Sunil_Prasannan said:

Seconded - cracking match although frustrating at times. - point of note: you can never hit a Frenchman too hard..JohnLilburne said:Glad I went to the pub to watch the match.

The thing is if you are the best team, you shouldn't be at a stage where you are relying on one try here or there over the course of 5 games. I don't think the New Zealanders will have that problem in the group stages of WC.0 -
That's what I like, spanking the French by 20 points, and feeling disappointed.0

Oh good poll for the Tories by the way.0

What sort of amounts of money are being bet on these individual constituency markets? If we're talking about tiny markets with little interest I think we should be interpreting with caution.0

England though made the same mistake for all 5 games. Lots and lots of unforced errors in good positions e.g lost lots of line-outs near the opposition line. Too many aimless kicks. Poor restarts. Dan Cole giving away way too many penalties at the breakdowns.
Wales were very poor for a lot of the six nations, didn't it out to the likes of George North anywhere near enough. They showed today when they did start to move it, how dangerous the back line can be.
Ireland, have an efficient but uninspiring approach. Miss the great O'Driscoll etc.
Scotland.....better move on....
Italy....get better each year. Remember they were beating Wales for first 39 minutes.0 -

I do not want to defend France because their winger did not deserve to be awarded that try, but it probably was, just, a try.FrancisUrquhart said:
