Bit of a bummer for UKIP only 4 out of 100 folks here were born outside the UK.

It's the taking part that counts, not the score  :)
If the real answers are true, it's a bit of an eye opener type quiz IMHO  :)

I must have hit a different link somewhere as I got the predicted results based on electoral calculus!

Been to another hustings tonight,

6 out of 7 candidates there tonight, absent was the Green who mumbled his way through answers previously.

If I put ratings on the performances I will be accused of bias!

Finally had a leaflet from her today. Was beginning to think she wasn't bothering. Made quite a fuss about the intern row in it.
One thing I will say is that compared to the amateurish leaflets (in every sense of the word) of 2010 labours leaflets have all been more professional this time all be it with very little council content. Obviously benefitted from having the constituency office staff.

Roll on next week I'll be glad when it's all over.
I can't do much more than place my cross.
I just hope that doesn't make me appear to be selfish or ignorant because I don't know all the policies of the party I voted for  ::)

i agree the the leaflets this time represent better organisation, though unfortunately the manifesto one were limited editions.

Gut feeling - Tory's getting in again!
Title: Re: quiz about chesterfield
Post by: therealjr on May 05, 2015, 10:42:18 AM
Gut feeling right now? Tories biggest party by 5-15 seats but short of a majority by anything up to 40. Lib dems won't win enough seats to form another majority coalition with them. Not enough small party support to beat the red block of lab/SNP for any sort of austerity budget so he tells her Maj that he can't form a government. Ed Milliband will then have to decide if he is going to form a minority govt and pray that the SNP won't act like spoilt brats or back track on everything he's said in the campaign and go into formal talks about a coalition or confidence and supply agreement. Neither is particularly good for the country. I think there's another election within 12-18 months. The Tories are led by Boris, the lib dems (dependant on re election) by ED Davey and labour by Ed.. If he fails to win an outright majority that time (having appealed to the Scottish voters to end the chaos) then He too is out, hopefully in favour of Andy Burnham but I suspect more likely to be Balls or Cooper

I could but you will be too busy canvassing to buy a ticket.
Going to be an interesting 24-36 hours for you from Friday morning. You're going to win the battle, lose the war and just maybe do the best out of the peace negotiations.
