The only way this bunch of crooks and shysters in Westminster will get the message is for the entire electorate to ignore the election and DO NOT VOTE.

completly deluded Dave talks of restoring faith in parliment in the next few week up to the election!!

you are so right. Every poll says that UK voters have taken a move to the right and yet Call-Me-Dave is moving ever further to the left following the failed model that was NuLabour.

Surely with all the comments here in the Standard and elsewhere, the Tory election team know full well that the electorate is absolutely demanding more right of centre announcemants and policies than we are getting.
Anything, absolutely anything politically correct is currently a kiss of death, after what the British people have had to suffer for the last twelve years.
But we get contrived candidate lists forced on local parties who don't want them, and "we will deliver the fastest broadband". Yegods!
I am hoping that David Cameron is leaving his best policies to the last weeks before the election, to avoid this dirty tricks, scheming, bankrupt, bullying useless government being able to steal them.
If not, and this is all we can expect from Cameron, then the country will simply go where we can get the New Britain that we are crying out for.
That is; to the Right thinking Parties.

I have read so much nonsense in my life. Sure, the Conservatives have a lead of 7% but combined the Tory support and the Lib-Dems a VAST majority do not want stale tired corrupt nasty lying Labour re-elected.

Always before an election the polls' lead narrows but history has shown that on election night narrow polls are always wrong and a hung parliament is a myth.

We can expect a Conservative goverement with a majority of about 20 seats.

I really can't see the elderly, middle-classes, young families, businessmen, students etc, voting Labour. That just leaves brain-dead vote-labour-all-my-life cabbages supporting this joke of a Labour government.

It'd help if Cameron DITCHED all this environmental nonsense that is going to cost the UK taxpayer BILLIONS, ABOLISHED foreign government aid (it should be our decision as decent individuals to give to charities if we feel like it), CANCELLED all translation and other namby-pamby services etc for immigrants, SCRAPPED so-called 'race relations' programmes as being a waste of time, and INVESTED in R&D in tech and biotech and more prisons for our future prosperity and security. These measures would save BILLIONS, get us out of our deficit and on the route to sustainable prosperity.

Unlike some commentators here I don`t believe this is the easiest election for the tories to win. The situation is so different from 1997. The country had, had 18 years of a conservative govt and Blair, Mandleson and Co spun such a good line that the whole country fell for it. Since then the country has undergone a monumental change with millions of people, whose sole income or the major part of it, is now derived from benefits. NuLabour has also poured billions into projects in Labour heartlands and have embarked on the biggest job creation scheme in the public sector this country has ever known. Northern Rock was only saved because it was in labour territory, as was the MG Rover plant, which was not saved; but millions was spent on it at the time of a GE. Billions are still being borrowed to prop up the economy giving voters the false illusion that the economy is doing far better than it really is. The tories warnings about the dire consequences of this massive debt is passed off as nothing more than scare mongering. There is of course the immigrant vote to consider as well and as NuLabour has always favoured mass immigration the majority of immigrants will vote for the govt. What it boils down to is that since Labour came to power it has embarked on a massive spending spree, that has allowed it to woo the voters at the expense of the tax payers. NuLabour must be hoping that, despite being the most useless Labour administration ever, turkeys won`t be voting for xmas.

Given that we have the most dysfunctional government in our history, led by our most despised PM and cabinet ever, Cameron's lead should be far greater than it is.
The problem for the Tories is a simple one; they are not listening to the electorate, especially those who have been most betrayed by NuLiebour.
They WILL lose votes to UKIP, because they do have policies that redress the damage done by 13 years of Britain-hating Nuliebour, and, lamentably, the BNP.
I have no doubt that their refusal to openly discuss our relationship with the EU (and a referendum on the Lisbon Constitution), their lacklustre response to unfettered immigration and Islamist terrorism, no promise to streamline our criminal justice system, repeal the criminal's charter that is the HRA and re-centre its focus on the victim instead of the offender, no clear policy on how the taxpayer will be relieved of the burden of paying for the benefit-dependent underclass, and no notion of how they are going to cull qangos, excessively large public and non-productive public sector organisations and to restore democracy and SMALL government, are all things that make make a vote for the Tories look like a vote for BluLiebour to replace NuLiebour.

The "lead" was 6% according to a poll on Sunday and now it's 7% according to the Grauniad. So in what usage of the English language is this a "crumbling" of the lead?

But leaving aside the mathematics, there is only one poll that matters and that is the election. When that is called and the electorate get a chance to vote in a new government, as opposed to inherit one, we will know the true lead.

And when that happens, people will hover over their ballot papers and think "do I really want another 4 or 5 years of money being taken from me and given to bankers, spongers, civil service pensions, quango's and a whole raft of organisations that do little to better the nation", or "do I want a change"?

Hopefully, it will be the latter. At this stage, a vote for anyone but Bully Brown is a good one. Brown can talk all he likes about a country that is "fair for all", but in reality it is a country that benefits those who contribute "eff all".

How could you blow such a golden opportunity Cameron?

Tory support hasn't 'crumbled'. There's no statistically significant move in these figures at all - 1 up, 2 or 3 down, it's all within the margin of error.

The UK is not on course for a hung parliament - the Tories have a clear lead, they're way ahead in all the marginals, they have a full £18m war chest and are in charge of virtually all the councils with all the activists and organisation on the ground. Labour are in disarray and their vote won't turn out. Tories will.

You'd only get a hung parliament if these figures were evenly applied to every constituency and every constituency behaved the same. But electins don't work like that.

The Conservatives are in a tricky position - if they are too clear and radical they will either have Labour running scare stories or nicking the ideas, both of which they are good at. Unfortunately playing it safe isn`t giving people the reasons to vote C, especially in light of the economic woes and expenses scandal. They really do need to be bolder though and get stuck into the big issues of crime, immigration, etc. Labour have failed woefully in all areas and have spent a fortune, at the moment they are getting away with too much. Conservatives really should have built up a much bigger lead by now, even Labour don`t want more of Gordon Brown.

Mr Cameron, you must do three things to win a huge majority:

2. Stop any immigration immediately - shut the gates whilst we take stock of who is here.
3. Abolish, immediately, all uneccessary quangos created by labour.

If you campaigned on these 3 points, you would win hands down.

The problem is that a decade of political inertia has left the country controlled by unaccountable lobbyists and consultants, brought in like a private army by Bliar and Gordon Brown, which ,eams economic policy is geared towards sustaining the profits for private business, and dividends for shareholders whilst the taxpayer ends up subsidising and ultimately bailing them out without so much as a penny to show for it.

That trend has to be reversed. The question is how to stop leeches from attaching themselves to one party in government and then shifting to the other when the election brings about a change of control ?

It won't happen whilst a party can achieve a mandate without needing a majority of popular support ?

It certainly won't happen when both main parties are pursuing the support of a minority of votes which make the difference between government and opposition.

Thus, a hung parliament and the outside chance of people voting for a change in the way politicians behave rather than change of government alone, may result in short term chaos and pain, but seems to be a necessary medicine to the current inertia

A hung parliament may be the best thing for this country yet ! After the absurd pursuit of the narrow interests of 'middle England' by both the major political parties, supported by the tabloids in pursuit of their owners' own agendas, it really is time that the people thought long and hard about what is really on offer from modern politics, and vote for change

The current structure allows politicians to abandon the interests of the majority of people, which in turn allows the minority interests of lobbyists et al, to control government, partly assisted by the fact that the current PM surrounds himself with consultants and advisers, at great expense to the taxpayer, to fill the void of his own lack of understanding of economics.

If the people genuinely want change, then they should force it via a hung parliament across a number of minority parties (for example, do not vote for the incumbent MP). This might just force the main parties to adopt something of an alternative manifesto to offer a choice. Perhaps the people can insist that every vote does count for something by forcing PR to be introduced ?

Otherwise, without taking this opportunity at the next election to demand change, the likes of Gordon Brown, David Cameron et al, will simply rely on lies and spin to gain their mandates, and if this is so, the people will only have themselves to blame !

What they want from a political party is honesty, that's all. An acknowledgement that tax can't go up anymore, taht cuts have to be amde, that immigration has to stop, that we should get out of the EU, that we need to sort out the farce that is human rights, that we need to do something about the criminal justice system, we need to have a future for youing people, jobs, houses and we need to sort out the welfare and health systems so we look after our own, we provide welfare to those who need it and we don't treat the entire world. Stop being like the rest Dave, be radical, be a proper Tory not a Newspeaking Nu-Labor clone. You'll get the votes but woe betide if you don't deliver - ther emay well be revolution in the air. Last chance for Broken Britain.

Ditch Cameron and get a leader who sticks to what he says, not changes his mind to suit whoever he's talking to at the time. And do it before it's too late!!

Serves him right if it is a hung parliament, it has been there for the taking and he has blown any chance of a landslide victory, thus showing he is not fit to be the next Prime Minister.

What a prize plonker.

Sourpuss bagpuss. The Tories deserve to be slated for conducting the vilest personal attack on the PM yet.

Just to make sure Cameron, why not adopt more of the Labour parties policies. I mean it not like people are entirely sick to the back teeth with these people.

Why not just continue to play the minority-centric, politically-correct pandering game. It is not like we are in a position where this country has been dropped into a black hole by the current failed government and we need strong leadership.

We need to cast of the shackles of Europe for a start, that is billions saved already. I mean why give billions to the French to sit around all day long when we could be paying of our national debt?

There is no chance Labour will be the net government - its clear that we never say we are going to vote Tory but it is clear that we all are utterly fed up with Gordon and the Labour sham government.
