Liberal Democrats surge in polls and send alarm bells ringing for the Conservatives

[Catzsy]

Are you entirely barking mad?. There is NOT A CHANCE that you will even become the opposition as you need over 265 seats to have a majority of 1. Im telling you now, UKIP or whoever else will not unite with you liberals as you are the complete opposit of what partys like UKIP want to achieve so no it wont happen. The two party system exists as they actually have feesable manifestos so that they can RUN the country and not DESTROY the country like your party would if you ever got into power (which will never happen).

Well I can't see the need to join with UKIP tbh - they won't have enough seats but there is no doubt at the moment that Nick Clegg is very popular with the voters. We will have to see how he does on Europe this week. I can forsee a LIb/Lab coalition though.

I'm not talking about a coalition or any sort of alliance so seats don't come into it. All I am saying is in most areas of the country UKIP won't have a chance of winning a seat whereas the Liberal Democrats do, in which case it would be in their best interests to vote for the Liberals in order to oust Labour and the Conservatives to get Proportional Representation in place.

Your very mistaken. Why on earth would UKIP voters who oppose the EU and want to keep the pound sterling as our currency vote for a party that wants to hand over all of our powers to europe and sign up to the euro? The answer is they wont!. If anything UKIP has more in common with the Conservatives as a large proportion of UKIP members are former Conservatives members.

As I have said. I'm not saying they would vote Liberal Democrat because they agree with general policy but they would vote for them because they want PR which would lead to massive gains for UKIP in the future. As I've also said it's a "means to an end".

I don't think anyone planning on banning nuclear power stations can be trusted to run a country.

It's interesting FlyDuo how you never talk about Lib Dem policy, just about the party? You go on about how great they are but there's hundreds of posts in threads throughout this section which have gone unanswered when we're referring to Lib Dems?

Don't tell me your as confused as Nick Clegg about Lib Dem policies?

Feel free to ask me any short questions here. The problem is things often get rather long winded and I genuinely don't feel that I have time to answer them.

How do the Lib Dems plan to power the country when fossil fuels run out?
