Fear of reds under the bed syndrome grips the tories into spreading rumours to detract from their dictatorial stance.
When will the tories understand democracy and give power back to the people rather than their corporate friends. Time for you to get into the real world if poss and recognise that the UK in its present form is heading into a storm which will change the political landscape for the better.
Oh man, where do I even start. I do kinda need to go to bed, so I'll keep it short and just say {{citation_needed}}.
The pound is likely to fall in the next month or so anyway due to the Greek crisis. It will be interesting to postulate on exactly what the Tories will blame for this depending on whether they get in or not!
I don't get this backroom deals thing either. If you have a majority party, they can decided everything in Party HQ, so how's that any more open that negotiations involving two parties?
Oh, and presumably the 20 BNP MPs are just the current Conservative bigot-wing who seem to be aching for the Conservative to start taking on BNP policy on immigration and homosexuals. :P
There's no more (or less) "horse-trading" in a hung parliament than in a majority parliament. The only difference is it's BETWEEN parties instead of inside one party, and you Tories don't like the idea of another party muscling in on your victory.
Parliament does NOT tackle the deficit, the Treasury does. As long as we appoint an executive - which we will - the executive branch of government does this, and the legislature doesn't.
The Lib Dems are NOT suggesting unilaterally banning nukes, they're proposing that when Trident reaches the end of its life in 20-30 years, we replace it with a cheaper system - a position endorsed by many generals, who say that Trident is completely useless against countries like Iran, and against terrorists.
NO-ONE has ever justified UN permanent security council members along the lines of nuclear weapon use - otherwise India, Pakistan and Israel would be members, and Iran and North Korea would be fast-tracked. The 5 members were set in stone as the UK, USA, France, Russia and China as the "spoils of victory" in 1945, and nothing can ever take that away from them.
The two problems TB has with yoof politics is the lack of accountability and a lack of humour - TB intends to kill, or at least wound these two birds with one stone. editor@torybear.com

I thought the Conservatives had already made a hung parliament video?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1oMooR9yBc
A hung parliament will mean Britain is forced to install lightning conductors all over the Houses of Parliament because Nick Clegg is a massive goth.
And that is in no way scaremongering
Complete bollocks.

And that's just the start...
