Another hung parliament. Four scenarios could follow.

Another hung parliament? Four scenarios that could follow

IMO it's too early to make any reasonable predictions, on which party or parties will win the GE. Especially, considering that there doesn't appear to be any clear winner, emerging from the mix that is the contest for government.

However, it seems that another hung parliament, and the forming of another coalition government, is more likely than a majority government.

Repeated coalitions within the FPTP structure, is an indication that FPTP is crumbling and electoral reform would bring more universally accepted, more democracy, and stable government.

Four scenarios that could occur.

That really is very dishonest PS as you've had an explanation several times.
No I have not, had an explanation not even close to one because the disappeared in the current context of the discussion now includes several other groups of people.
As if you could substantiate that

You've had your explanation don't post again that you've never had one or you will get the obvious label

BTW 100 days to the election, according to you 600,000 bodies to be taken care of. How strange that the funeral directors of the UK aren't buying Lamborghinis on the prospects. Perhaps they know what the rest of us do - your theory was always baloney and it still is baloney.
No problem Steve I've spotted a business opportunity here, bio degradable headstones and flat pack coffins are about to be launched on ebay by Tigger Enterprises Ltd to take advantage sorry, to help alleviate this coming human catastrophe, in addition I have a new JCB on order to help dig the mass graves, (hourly rates apply).

Don't let anyone tell you that I don't take my social responsibilities seriously.

If you really did take your 'social' responsibilities seriously, you'd abandon the idea of burial and have them cremated so that old peoples homes could be heated and supply hot water from the resultant conflagration.

No it does not. There is nothing in there about people dying in any numbers or even people starving having received a sanction. As I've said before, following a benefit sanction they cannot challenge they inevitably go on to look at means tested benefits and the obvious conclusion is they realise they have other 'means' so do not claim from the state.

Throw a six, have another go

I already have a patent on a Pensioner Incinerator, I'm also working towards a so called poor persons burner (with the aid of a government grant) that will turn idle lefties and benefit claiming immigrants into useful by products.

It's a winner I tell you.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Perhaps you should ask the Greeks PS. They seem to have suffered far worse austerity than we have experienced here. Have they had several thousand people disappear?
Last seen walking into Coutts Zurich with suitcases full of Euros.

And at the branch located at No 440 The Strand.

Not sure I'd trust my loose change with a division of RBS though.
I used to Bank with them, did so for nigh on 20 years. Left when my finances were regularised on retirement and at that point in time saw no further benefit of paying the ~£600 PA fee for their private Banking services that I no longer required. Excellent Bank in those days and they could handle most things just with a telephone call or an email. Surprised RBS did not sell them on.

I'm sure a lot of people bank with them just so they can tell others that they use the same bank that the queen does, also the cheque books and other bits and pieces carry the royal standard, in return I usually remind these folks of the recent fines imposed Coutts for failing to keep proper accounts.

Bent as arseholes just like all the rest of em! :)

The stink of spite and envy is almost choking. Tig. you have regularly demonstrated the depth that you loath all that you perceive to be more successful and better of financially than yourself. I believe your politics is driven by crude emotions.

Nah! No problem at all with responsible wealth and hard work.

Just not keen on those with unearned rank, privilege and income taking the piss and getting jumped up plebs like you to defend them in the hope some of the former rubs off on you.

PS, No scandals yet at my building society. ;-)

As long as such work is approved by you. You demonstrate all the symptoms of Napoleon complex based on underachievement. The claim that a bunch of self employed labourers and maybe a couple of Tradesmen (British variety), who stick products made by others on roofs and split the income based on some Marxist rule is a business is no more than a sick joke. No IP, extremely limited near zero inventory risks, zero R&D, probably no marketing costs, low value tools, not much in the way of added value and smells of a structure to avoid taxes, hardly rates as a business that will solve any of the UK's economic difficulties. Tig you are no more than an old fashioned Ganger who envies those that have real business successes, those that do take real risks.

What are you on about now? ;D

I frequently meet and deal with some very wealthy people, what has struck me over the years is that quite a few of them are not especially intelligent or even worthy of their status, why some are even thicker than me!

Talent, let alone usefulness to the wider World, are often not reflected in pay packets or status and anyone reasonably grounded in reality can see that a mile off.

File under I'm kidding myself I'm one of the elite.

Well, they should burn for a good while and the calorific value should be high what with all the alcohol consumption. ;-)

PS, Don't forget to remove anything of value before striking the match as they could be recycled.  ::)
