Labour/SNP coalition

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Thought Cameron got it spot on when he said Milliband was more interested about a TV debate, than the running of the country.

If I came to work and started shouting at someone I didn't agree with, I'd very soon be out of the job.

PMQs serves very little purpose in a world where there is no substance and only sound bites and spin.

They act like kids, and its no wonder we don't take them seriously. The whole process needs cleaning up. Surely they can behave like adults.

But the TV debates will give people a chance to judge the options on who they want to run the country - so one is very important to the other. Cameron is just worried he may not seem like the best option.

There'll be more than enough coverage in other aspects of the media for people to make up their minds, without needing a debate .

And the information you get that way is subject the the slant of a left wing or right wing editor or snippets on the TV - not the same. People are disengaged with politics and the one thing people embraced last time Cameron wants to hide from this time - shoddy attitude.

Whilst it may please you to have a party that puts its own national interest first, in government, rather than those parties that seek to represent the whole of the UK, I doubt it will please all.
You argue on the one hand that Cameron should answer questions raised at PMQ'S particularly in regard to the election (national importance etc) if you are correct then Milliband must face the same scrutiny.
If it defies logic then it is yours rather than mine that is at fault.
What we see is petty squabbling between two senior politcians, and neither of them came out of yesterday with any credit.

The party you refer to is the one Cameron put in the spotlight with an unnecessary referendum. They will also have a small number of MPs and little influence and it doesn't matter that they want a seperate Scotland - that vote was lost.

You keep contradicting yourself by insisting Milliband must state who he would be prepared to go into a coalition with but not asking Cameron to do the same. Neither of them will so that because both must give the impression they expect to have a majority. You know neither will state that and yet you keep trying to use that against Milliband to deflect from each question Cameron dodges. They won't tell you but for clarity I will tell you what you already know, if they fail to get a majority the people that could work together are:

Conservatives: Lib Dems, UKIP, Ulster Unionists.
Labour: Lib Dems, SNP, Green (singular)

These are all things we already know - Cameron doesn't want to debate with Milliband on TV, neither party will confirm who they would go into Coalition with.

There will be enough coverage in the 2 top selling absolute rubbish papers in the country you mean ( this still baffles me how they are) who are both more right wing than Camerscum himself.

I don't excuse either Milliband or Cameron.

The difference between Coalition partners is clear, the tories aren't lining up with parties who will favour their nation over the others in the Union....you seem to want portray the SNP as just another party....quite simply there is a massive difference between the SNP and those shown in your post above.

Whilst I don't doubt that both Labour and Conservatives want a majority it wont happen.

You seem to want Cameron to answer questions on why he wont go on the TV, why is it a contradiction to want Milliband to answer on the SNP as a prospective coalition partner?
Don't forget we are talking about your initial statement that questions about the election are of national importance...I did ask if this only applies to cameron?
Now here's what we really know....PMQ'S is televised and neither could answer a question!!!!!

Regularly Cameron doesn't answer questions, and Milliband time and time again fails to capitalize on this...they are both useless.
What is the issue with Milliband saying If we don't get the majority we want ...we are prepared to work with the SNP...or is this a classic Labour stealth tactic?

**** me! Whatever your view on SNP neither will talk about coalition options - nothing more stealth about Labour on that score, NEITHER will and neither should, they don't have to state the obvious.

I have added the words you missed out.

And of course, the BBC is as Right Wing as Atilla the Hun...:winking:

Whichever party is in power seems to be unhappy with the Beeb.Which would indicate to me that they're doing their job and being (reasonably) impartial and objective.It's a great British institution.Cherish it.

The SNP will do whats best for Scotland rather than the the whole of the UK that isn't a view that s hard nailed on fact.
I suspect that the bottom line here is neither party or Leader has the Bollocks to admit to anything.

That only makes it worse!!!!

This probably isn't the answer but it would make people sit up and take notice a bit more. :smile:

Probably the best statement I've seen from you on here.

So why do "The Conservatives said this "changes nothing", when that has been their main gripe lately..Politics and spin is truly pathetic these days.

Yes.But this,of course, still doesn't rule out a possible Labour/SNP deal after the election.

How about the Tories now ruling out a formal coalition with UKIP?

Correct what they say now means sweet **** all, whoever has a chance of power will do what is necessary. I am sure the Budget will reveal lots of ******** to.
