If there was an election now, Labour would win. But as the cuts and incompetence proliferates everywhere, in a couple of years from now, Labour will romp home.

FFS New Statesman: SORT OUT YOUR SPAM CONTROLS PLEASE.

I hate to tell you Righties out there this but Re You Gov this morning. I know we are used to appalling polls ratings for the Lib Dem's but this one takes the biscuit hear are some of the 46 Lib Dem's MPs likely to lose there seats if there was a GE based on commutative op ion polls last month according to electoral calculus all except the first two are ministers. Simon Hughes. Jenny Willott. Sarah Teather. Chris Huhne. Lynne featherstone. ED Davey. Paul Burstow. Jeremy Brown. and Danny Alexander.with out the Lib Dems to prop call me Dave up he is finished. and he knows it

p j wall. You are going to live a life time of disappointment!! Let's never forget, it was your tribe which run out of our money, it was your tribe that destroyed the retirement plans of millions, it was your tribe that opened the doors to mass-immigration destroying the job opportunities of million of our young people, it was your tribe that dumb downed our eduction system, it was your tribe that turned economic incompetence into a fine art form, and lets never forget your tribes foreign wars.. No!! I'm no fan of the tories.. I just 'despise' Labour more..

I wish I could predict the future as well as some of you, I would win a fortune betting on the outcome of the next election! The result of the next election is likely to hinge on a combination of the health of the economy (which is very hard to predict) and Macmillan's "events", (which are almost impossible to predict). It will be interesting anyway.

I can't see anything other than a very close election again next time.
The Tories could only get a minority of seats despite the economy and Gordon Brown in 2010, Cameron is hurriedly rebuilding the Nasty Toxic brand that turned everyone off in the 90's.
Labour continue to be rudderless and Miliband does not look like a PM in waiting.
Lib Dems will lose a lot of seats but may still have the balance of power in 2015.
The question is would Clegg go with Cameron or Miliband in 2015?
My bet, Miliband.

tories are doomed to fail as is the economy

lab outright with a good green showing come the gen ele

Although the premise on which this article was based was shown to be false 1 day after it was written, it still features prominently on the NS front page. Why? Disinformation or lazy web editors?

I guess white British have just got wiser. They can see through labour's divisive agenda and extreme positions to defend the degenerate rioters. Labour fed the Bankers and Labour fed the rioters. You can fool some people....

And no I am not white.

if labour had anyone saying anything genuinely interesting or good fo Uk they woudn't be in his prdicament- people are tired of BS and they had enough of it after the last labour govt, look where it got us- and the cold hasn't even begun to bite- incredibly, the country will lurch to the Right in a time of cuts cos they are the only ones talking sense, the adults can't have the numptie driving the ship anymore- so the Left has to go away and seriously introspect... it needs to get rid of Balls he' s a maniac, and his followers.
Compare the team to the Tories/lib- they outclass severely- they got 7 guys at least, labour had one hope, and they outed the man- what a bunch of clowns, and when u try and et 'labour' people on thi s site to face facts it's all name calling- sad clowns, u guys coukd disappear for a long time cos u can't face up to a mirror. Balls in the party but david milliband out- u gotta be kidding me, but u guys did it- good luck with the deathwish- If i were backing these guys i'd get them into a room a they'd know about it... shambles, coudn't win a garden fete..

Yes Luddite I agree with you but can you say hand on heart that the Tories or Lib-Dems are anymore competent?

It`s soooo funny reading the bitter twisted views of some of the right wingers above!!, you can tell through all the bile they spew out, that deep down they know their dear leader Flashman is a total lightweight and liability, and he will lead the Nasty party to defeat with Gideon by his side!, Their economic plan is already toast, Gideon is so lightweight and incompetent, even more so then Flashman!!, the big problem for the tories is they have become the Nasty arrogant party again!, Flashman and Gideon show no Humility and Empathy at all, just know your place arrogance!, the last thing voters want to see is Gideons condescending stupid grin!!, whilst telling us all that destroying the economy and losing our jobs and houses, is a price worth paying because "we`re all in this together", then he`ll cut the 50% tax rate to prove his point!!!, the twonk!, no matter what any of us think of Ed Miliband, he shows humility and empathy, that is a massive plus in voters eyes, by the time 2015 arrives, the nasty tories will be about as popular as a cup of cold sick!!, and it doesn`t matter what a few bitter right wing twonks say on here, or the meaningless polls predict!.

"Just can't understand how 39% have not twigged that Cameron and Co. are liars and absolute incompetents.They should have been found out by now." They are supported by the national narrative as agreed by all commentators, journalists etc. From the moment the banks blew up, all commentators (and the Labour government) agreed that austerity would be required to deal with the "deficit" resulting from bailing them out. There was no debate, it was just assumed as an obvious necessity, a fact. It has never been properly challenged, including by the Labour Party, which therefore finds itself in the position of ideologically supporting the Government's most ruthless and destructive policies. No wonder the Tories benefit, when Labour itself props them up. This isn't just a tragedy for the left, it is a tragedy for the country as a whole, since "deficit slashing" is the cover underwhich the welfare state will be broken up and privatised - without a national debate and without an effective effort to protect it from Labour. Which, let us not forget, began the process under Blair.

English Lefties-come and join us in the Utopia that is Scotland.

You really can`t take criticism of your dear leader Flashman and your idol Gideon, Ha Ha!!, Diddums, Diddums, keep taking the medicine!, and get back to your bedtime read The Tory Manifesto 2010, then count all the lies in it, that should send you asleep, By the way, being put on the dole by your dear leaders Flashman and Gideon doesn`t pay the bills!!, i`m not a big fan of Miliband, but blaming him for your parties incompetence, is a bit of a stretch, even for someone with your mindset!.
