Last week we asked Left Foot Forward readers what outcome they'd most like to see at the General Election. We had 471 responses, and here's what we found out
34.4 per cent of you said you’d like an outright Labour majority, compared to 10.6 per cent who’d like a Conservative majority. Only 13 of you (2.8 per cent) would like things to stay as they are with another Conservative/Lib Dem coalition.
Seven per cent would like to see a Labour-led coalition with the Lib Dems, but 10.8 would like Labour to lead a coalition with the SNP, and 19.3 per cent (91 of you) would like to see Labour lead a coalition with the Greens.
The second most popular choice after a Labour majority was a three-party coalition with Labour, the Greens and the SNP, which 27.6 per cent of you are hoping for. The least popular choice was a Tory/SNP coalition, which only two of you would like to see.
25 of you would like a Tory/UKIP coalition – half the number who are hoping for an outright Tory majority. Adding the Lib Dems into that coalition sees popularity fall to 1.06 per cent.

Why, exactly, should the slightest deviation from the terms and conditions agreed with the Troika be contemplated without the express permission of that side of the deal?

Then you are working with a different definition of left wing, and I shall leave you to it without hard feelings.
I see left as the continuum between and including social democrats to the various Marxists, with the provisiion that moderate – as applied to left wing – excludes anything to the left of the old Realo wing of the Green.

‘The origin of this bizarre little pet name “Trot”, you have for me.’
He found it somewhere between the shaving mirror and his behind.

Keep demanding I behave like you, Lord Blagger, as you don’t even understand the terms of what you’re defending! You’re a blind capitalist.

No, there’s absolutely no reason for bad economic deals which have hurt everyone to be “sacrosanct”. You are determined to blindly pull countries down and starve people, I get it, as you demand that governments not be sovereign – you oppose the basis of the UK’s democracy, for instance.
And as I insult the heck out of Trots and SWeePers, you have admitted for the record that I am moderate. Thanks!
