As it currently stands anything less than a Tory overall majority denies us a potential referendum."</i><br /><br />Douglas Carswell said that the prime minister's advisers made it clear that they're looking to cut a deal that gives them just enough to persuade enough voters to vote to stay in.<br /><br />Just as I had suspected all along based on his track record.

There are plenty of safe Labour seats where the Tories have no hope of getting in but where UKIP's message on immigration is resonating with the despised, white, working class voters. If by elections are any guide, it is true to say here " Vote Conservative. Get Labour" because supporting the Tories splits the UKIP vote.<br />Surely an unofficial pact could be arranged whereby the Tory candidates could agree to be the feeblest of paper candidates - or to withdraw after nominations have closed. In exchange UKIP could do the same in seats held by known, solid Tory Eurosceptics<br />up to a similar number.<br /><br />It would actually help Mr Cameron get over the inbuilt pro Labour bias in the present system ( due to inequalities in the sizes of constituencies) and give a greater degree of reassurance to pro independence Tories ( and others) that there would be no backsliding by the Vichyite Tory leadership.<br /><br />I think everyone needs to consider the situation and record of the MP and candidates in their own constituency.<br />With best wishes for 2015<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-68312657496218581352015-01-03T16:28:34.443+00:002015-01-03T16:28:34.443+00:00Happy new year to you as well JuliaHappy new year to you as well JuliaTheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-75794580073915297462015-01-03T16:28:17.357+00:002015-01-03T16:28:17.357+00:00On a personal note I was a member when Hamilton jo...On a personal note I was a member when Hamilton joined and I wasn't too pleased and know a number of other members weren't either.<br /><br />Being a dustbin for failed Tories is not a good move.TheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-22791017121579154242015-01-03T16:26:58.742+00:002015-01-03T16:26:58.742+00:00Thanks, and agree about "pointing in the same...Thanks, and agree about "pointing in the same direction at the end of it."TheBoilingFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791961503315586243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-33884465625378426752015-01-03T11:28:09.833+00:002015-01-03T11:28:09.833+00:00You have a lovely 2015, Boiling Frog and may we al...You have a lovely 2015, Boiling Frog and may we all be pointing in the same direction at the end of it.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-35584303496048019162015-01-01T12:07:19.221+00:002015-01-01T12:07:19.221+00:00Personally, I reckon having Neil Hamilton in UKIP ...Personally, I reckon having Neil Hamilton in UKIP will likely cost them half a million votes...Dioclesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139646438543954337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-36885840587063987362015-01-01T11:22:52.969+00:002015-01-01T11:22:52.969+00:00And Happy New Year to you all my fellow-victims of...And Happy New Year to you all my fellow-victims of austerity, state control and pervasive propaganda.<br />Julia Gasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13295592860919659533noreply@blogger.com
