The SNP

Game changers or something to be feared, very much in the news at the moment and certainly going to have more seats than the likes of the Green and Ukip parties come May the 8th.

Well the media would have us believe - to be feared - shame, as she has a clear way about her ........
Whatever will be will be - due to the voting system my vote wont change a thing unless - many others want change ........

Re: The SNP

Well I have been listening to them and they have some interesting ideas, I wouldn't mind giving some of them a try because what we have now seems old and broken.

Re: The SNP

Wish she would just stop telling everyone that after the election she will have our beloved leaders by the goolies. She may well be right , but it is a bit indecent to gloat over it !

Re: The SNP

Not heard anything quite like that either, she has said she is willing to work with almost anyone which is nothing the other parties haven't said too and sounds fairly honest about it.

Quote. Political Commentary Press.

And she hasn't been shy about the demands she would make of Ed Miliband. She wants to remove the £26,000 annual benefits cap and get £180 billion more public spending; she wants the welfare system to be more generous and the minimum wage to rise to £8.70 an hour. She has described blocking a renewal of the Trident nuclear submarine programme as her "absolute" red line. She sees herself as the spearhead of a progressive front in Westminster which could force Labour back to its red roots. But she doesn't want to be locked into a coalition with them, and has mocked Ed Miliband for ruling one out.

She has stated on numerous occasions that she will do everything within her power to prevent the Conservatives from forming a government. They are willing to do back room deals with Labour. A party whose main objective is the break up of the UK holding the balance of power is worrying to say the least.

Those were some of the interesting policies I wouldn't mind giving a try.

Again some more of the more interesting policies I wouldn't mind trying out.

Well she can't be all bad then. Maybe in doing so she might just make the whole of the UK a fairer better balanced society.
