    Actually that was me just returning some rep I owed him. I don't think that counts. Plus I wouldn't want to bruise his ego.

    We are currently holding MP elections so can only give you a partial MP list at this time if you want it.

    Spooky!

    UKIP are in the process of electing two of its MPs - The Leader and Deputy Leader are the first two.

    Candidates are to be announced tonight; and we've been told that if there are only two then they will be automatically deemed elected - so we might have ours by tonight.

    Life_peer is the deputy leader of TSR UKIP. Has been since 5th December 2010. He's one of the longest serving deputy leaders around now.

    Seeing as Rakas21, before the election (when he was so embarrassingly confident of a victory) stated that Labour should not seek to form a coalition if they were the second largest party, why exactly are reports coming that he, being the leader of the actual second largest party, is trying to form a coalition?

    In order to form a Government you need the Confidence of this House.

    I said you should step aside when in government and said that you did not have the confidence of the House during the election but i never specifically said you should not try, i simply asked that you not for the good of the House.

    In response to your question we did see a small gain so it was not a rejection and we do not believe that Labour can be entrusted to run an effective government.

    Should Labour have the confidence of this House then it will form a government, should it not then there will be a viable alternative.

    Hypocrisy.
    Agreed - disgusting.


    (Original post by Rakas21)
    Would Labour please confirm their intentions.

    Should you come second, would you confirm that you would not seek to depose of the will of the electorate by attempting to form a losing coalition given that in the VoNC you stated that one of the reasons for this election is that as the largest party you had the mandate?
    That's the exact quote. I'm putting it in my signature - just so everybody knows he is trying to 'depose of the will of the electorate by attempting to form a losing coalition'.

    What reports?

    And also, Labour don't have the confidence of the house so why should they be in power?
