VOTE: Was Ed Miliband right to rule out any formal deal with the SNP?

Miliband told the audience he 'couldn't be clearer' that there would be no deal between the two parties

There will be no Labour government if it involves a coalition or a deal with SNP, Ed Miliband said during last night’s special edition of leaders’ Question Time.

Miliband told the audience he “couldn’t be clearer” there would be no deal between the two parties.

But was he right to do so? Does this see off Tory attacks about the SNP ‘holding the country to ransom’? Or will it just make governing in the likely event of a hung parliament even harder?

No, you’ve not managed to kill me yet, so sorry.
And I’ll stick with English, yer Ned.

If you think the SNP is in this to secure a radical left wing government for the UK, you’re either stupid or hopelessly ill-informed. Their aim is independence, and they will do anything to get it. They’ve signed up to a strategy designed to minimise Labour votes in Scotland which means they’ve backed themselves into a corner as far as a Labour led administration is concerned. So they are pulling in two directions at once. We’ll find out soon if that tension explodes.
