Park Life 71 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I could see them getting none. Fancy a bet? Closest wins. That could happen as well as protest type voting tends to dissapear at election times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14136 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 That could happen as well as protest type voting tends to dissapear at election times. Which is why For all it's big news in isolation, I imagine UKIP will have expected to win by more. I can see UKIP getting 6-7 MPs but losing Rochester. Couple of northern seats with mixed electorates look like potentially fertile territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 20152 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 the big worry about ukip winning more ground and the snp pinching seats from labour north of the border is the prospect of a con-ukip coalition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ 0 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I know it's not a new argument, but with the only argument put forward for First Past The Post is it "creates strong governments" then I hope when we get another hung parliament in May it means that electoral reform comes back to the forefront. I was at the Radical Independence conference yesterday in Glasgow. Really pleasing to see the left finally coming together in Scotland. We need a strong left all over the UK to fight off the purple headed monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Was just reading that. "To make things worse, there was what he still sees as the simple iniquity of the governments actions, which arguably had a distinct flavour of class war, waged from the top: drastically cutting council funding per head in predominantly Labour areas, while more affluent, Tory-inclined places were comparatively untouched. In Guildford in Surrey, for example, the cuts between 2010 and 2013 worked out at £19 per resident; in Newcastle, it was £162. Even civil servants have given up trying to justify it as objective and rational, Forbes told me. Its entirely political. And I think it denotes an intent by the government to push mainly Labour-run councils into bankruptcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30780 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm getting to the stage where I detest the current Labour opposition nearly as much for not destroying the cunts at every opportunity on stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35519 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The dye job on his hair is hilarious. Looks like he's wearing a black swimming cap. Fitting that such a horrible lying cunt should have a horrible lie sat on top of his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26803 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Andrew Mitchell has lost his case against the Sun as the judge has decided that he did call police officers plebs. And has also been left with a £2m legal bill. My heart breaks for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9234 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Can't find the numbers for that, I might be well off, but is that not just an indication that a huge proportion of Muslim lads are called Mohammed, rather than Ahmed etc. ?

ewerk 26803 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Aye. I think what has kept it out of these lists in the past is that there are lots of variations on the spelling. I'm not sure if they're simply counting them all as one name these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14909 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 First born son us traditionally called Mohammed I think. Moslems make up 8%(?) of the population, so why no increase in female names too?....there's no other Moslem names in the lists that I saw over the weekend. Sounds like a fib to draw attention to the survey?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name can be spelled 10 different ways, so when they’re all added together, it jumps up to first place. http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a25011623/most-popular-baby-name-trends-2014#ixzz3KddUlw4W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if its taken into account that if your last name is Mohammed then it becomes your first name and your given name is then your surname also. Knew a set of twins both called Mohammed in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
