NFR I know politics is banned from this board but...

I've got say it is the most interesting election in my life time with the rise of SNP and potentially UKIP although they've lost momentum recently. It seems pretty clear that no one is going to win a majority so it will be interesting to see who finally makes it into government. I think Ed Miliband has done particularly well considering the attack on his character rather than his policies by the Tories and the media.

Indeed, but so too do the Yanks. What JFK got up to remains largely unspoken, but Bill Clinton pulled the odd stroke!

Monica Lewinski
Sally Hemming
Paula Broadwell.+
Mimi Alford
Carrie Phillips

I'd put Mandy Rice-Davis over all of them  :0)

"they are all at it behind closed doors"

Obviously one can never be sure, but as far as the UK is concerned, I don't think so.

Since Edward Heath, the only British PM who was undoubtedly an adulterer was the one most would, I think, least suspect - the "grey man" himself, John Major and with Edwina Currie (who once put her hand on my groin during a meeting). Whatever one thinks of their politics or abilities as PMs, I would be wholly amazed if it was ever shown Harold Wilson, Jim Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, Gordon Brown or David Cameron were "at it" while PMs. That just leaves one, about whom I would be much less amazed.

You would be amazed, my understanding is that it was politicians who invented the words Dogging and Swinging.
Never judge a book by it's cover, a female librarian once said to me, after putting another blanket on the bed, after our third day in row getting to know each other.

On Betfair, currently Cameron is 1.86 and Miliband 2.1 to be the next PM.

The polls suggest that neither Labour nor the Conservatives are likely to win enough seats to have an overall majority.

If that is the case, it follows that the next PM, like Cameron currently, will head a coalition.

I'd have thought that a Labour-led one was more likely, as the polls suggest that the biggest third party seems likely to be the SNP and it is impossible to see them as going into coalition with the Conservatives. And if, as the polls suggest, the Liberal Democrats are greatly reduced in numbers, difficult to see them and the Conservatives together having enough seats.

Maybe, purely from the betting perspective, Miliband at 2.1 represents value.

There is no such thing as global warming unless you include the cyclical climatic
changes on the earth every few hundred years.

They've even changed the 'concepts' name to CLIMATE CHANGE however
it's never been scientifically proven that any 'change' is caused by human elements
and behaviour.
Remember the Whoo Haa about emissions from fridges, it's all BS.
I'm not sure of the exact figures but more 'emissions' were emitted into the
atmosphere from the 3 day Iceland volcano eruption than the earths population
would manage in 100 years.

it's a worldwide scam to eradicate coal mines and other fossil fuels
so that 'interested parties' can reap the rewards.

I wouldn't vote for any one that tried to blind me with that crap.
You could however buy shares in wind farms, wave power and Venezuelan oilfields.

The Polar Bear and penguin populations are increasing as well and when was the last time you saw one try to take of it's coat because it was to hot.
It's always "Daddy I'm cold"

Apparently CFC destroyed the ozone layer. I blame John Terry.

I'd prefer to talk about Bill Clinton's sock pulling that Ed and Dave's odd's tbh. Mind you now that Hillary is standing we had better not say anything un towards.

You mean the UN peace envoy to the middle east.

If she get's in I might have to come back to the UK and get a season ticket.

She said the other day  "I've been fighting women and children all my life"
Missed out the 'for'

Come back to England, don't go back to the UK.
Anyway don't worry she won't get in, the voters can't be that daft.

You're right, Cornwall/Devon even Somerset would do (are they still in England)  ?
They can be that daft, they voted in Obama a 2nd time.

I find the glossy campaign leaflets are very good for lining plant points when showing seeds to bring on in the green house. I'm not not joking, last year i used old Radio Times but I don't buy that anymore.

And to think I have wasted that resource by simply tossing them in the trash. Well, it is about time to set out the tomatoes.

Don't worry. The paper will be recycled into campaign leaflets for that other political party next time round....

I'm only surprised that French and particularly Italian (yes, that one ! ) politicians have any time left for the b******t after their...er..relationships....

You reach a point when you know that nobody will be able to keep promises. It is called democracy and it doesn't work. The only thing that would work is a dictatorship. I am your man. I promise to rob you and ignore your wishes and give the wealth to my mates.

Oh hold on back to democracy again.

Politics is only banned on this board if someone stands up for the left. While RidgeRider was here, it was banned when the second American contributed. Right-wing posters can trash the left with impunity, but the obverse isn't true.

Well I wish that was true. The left are always trashing the right. The centre jaywalk to oblivion. I have posted this and am funded by my right wing dictatorship party.
