So apparently Cameron is a PB lurker....luckily for him, most of the posters there are not exactly left-wing....

Don't a majority of teachers support the reintroduction of corporal punishment?

Ed Balls is a smug, self-satisfied

Yeah; he's a politician. Tongue

Really, (rather than Cameron, Osborne and Clegg) Clarke, Hague and Cable should be leading this government. Cameron and Osborne had only four years of parliamentary experience (and hardly any shadow cabinet experience) when they essentially took control of the Tories in 2005, and Clegg had only two years when he was elected Lib Dem leader.

I mean, when was the last time we had a government with so many inexperienced figures leading it?

And yeah, yeah, I know Labour currently have this problem to an extent too.

From the description, it sounded like a send-up of Cameron and Osborne.

ICM play with their figures before publishing them.

I'm not sure if it was ICM or ComRes, but there was a poll released during the 2010 campaign showing the SNP on 0%....in Scotland.

It's just been announced that Malcolm Wicks, Labour MP for Croydon North since 1997, has died aged 65. He was a Social Policy academic before he was a politician and was a minister in the Blair and Brown governments.

RIP.

Breaking news: MacShane has resigned as an MP.

Yet another by-election in a safe Labour seat then....

If these polls hold up (which I doubt), its going to be impossible to ban Farage from the leaders debates, which should be fun.

Day after the first debate....

Labour - 39%
UKIP - 37%
Conservatives - 15%
Lib Dems - -5767488599%
