Do you want to be in'it? If so PLEASE explain exactly why? People voted to put Ukip in Brussels to send a message to LibLabCon that they don't trust them, and they don't trust the failing EU either. When the elites (who you tug your forelock to) conspire not to give our people a choice they send a party to Brussels to tell them all to go hang! Here's us doing it:- It's really very simple, your union needs to tell puppet leader Miliband to stop ducking the issue and give the public a referendum on whether they want to be in a European superstate or not. Labour started as a democratic party with magnificent intentions, but has now completely lost touch with its democratic roots. It is now about power for power's sake, and keeping the gravy train rolling. Labour no longer has any relevance to anyone in this town or anything in it. This was thoroughly proven in the last round of LibLabCon musical chairs. Lavery is a shill for the ruling elites - whether he realises this or not - you decide. He's an elitist joke, just like Dennis Skinner has become; Skinner's heckling has now been institutionalised, like other "discordant" events in the distant past - that's how you nullify them. Electing Lavery disenfranchises everyone in this town - we all become that joke!. LibLabCon is all about manipulating things to keep the Westminster elite in power. A political game to keep people who don't really believe in democracy in cushy jobs, and provide a retirement path for them into copious non-jobs in Brussels. Labour and Tory have already packed the House of Lords past overflow with "jobs" for life - eighty quid every morning just for signing in, then slope off to find something which pays better before lunch at the club. Us mugs struggling to pay our mortgages, or even put food on the table, pay for all the junketing and non-jobs! Old Labour wanted to abolish the House of Lords; New Labour has packed it out with cronies no company will give a directorship to because they couldn't run a proverbial in a brewery; and that's before I get on to the Commons, Quangos, Parliamentary Committees, Public Trusts, etc. and the above all the EU..! Mini revolution coming Tony, just like at the start of the last century. The more people discover about how things really work the sooner this will happen. You are either with the good guys or with the bad guys.

Sorry tonyp but the May election will almost certainly end up as a hung parliament but with Cameron and Farage doing 'a deal' to keep the Tories in power. No one in their right mind can claim that the country is not doing better than it was - with unemployment falling and more people in work than ever - we're the most productive country in Europe - France is the sick man and Germany is faltering. God help us all is by some small chance the Labour party are able to take power - we'll soon end up bankrupt again.

I'm sure given all the time the Ashington MP has for this town, He'll not let us get stuffed again

So.. on your reckoning Labour will be nominally in charge but the Scot Nats will be in the driving seat and bleeding the rest of the UK even more than they are now. Oil revenues have more than halved since Salmond was salivating over spending all of them whilst having the UK stand as guarantor for his debt, so any nationalist with an ounce of sense will be thanking their lucky stars that they lost their referendum. Now best strategy is to let the rest of the UK take the revenue hit whilst holding a hand out for more more more! Miliband and Balls will be in no position to refuse; so what a miserable prospect for the whole country. A re-run of the Gordo saga: hold on to power whatever burden you inflict on the nation. Having bankrupt our children and children's children by running up future liabilities, M&B will proceed to bankrupt the present generation by trashing the current account too! Tony, name me one Labour government in history that hasn't ended in total economic mess, and left the country economically far worse off than when it took power? Blair got away with this by pretending that Labour had turned a new leaf - New Labour; "things can only get better". This time there's not even that pretence; it's pretty tired old Labour, with absolutely nothing new to say. Same old state socialism (with a nod to Thatcherism and the market), same old economic mess. In less than a year this will be apparent to even the most tribal Labour voter, and we'll all have to suffer a full four further years of muddle, lost opportunity, and being bled dry by both the EU and Scotland! "a few seats" eh? The party that was being mocked for having no MPs now represents this country in Brussels, and has won half of the recent parliamentary elections. In the other half it ran both Tory and Labour so close that they are still in shock! In Labour's seat it was Tory voters who kept them in power! Carry on with your sloped playing field; carry on with the out of date boundaries; carry on with the postal vote fraud; carry on with lowering the voting age to hook in kids you can easily fool; leave the flood gates open to always grateful first-generation immigrants - none of this gerrymandering alters the fact that your elites are drinking in the last chance saloon. Ukip won't form a government this time around, but the sights are firmly set on 2020 when popular democracy will be restored to this country after two generations absence! If your LibLabCon elitists want to believe that Ukip is another SDP then they're welcome to yet another of those illusions. The bright thing to do is to join the people's party and help mould policy.
