Steven Kellow May 9th, 2015 - 1:46 pm Politics General Election, Stats

Wow. Elections are always significant for what they mean to a country, but some change the way in which politics is conducted and followed in a country forever and that’s what last night’s result was. When the exit poll flashed up at 10pm absolutely everyone was calling foul. The Conservatives being 75 seats ahead of Labour was inconceivable to anyone who’d taken even a cursory glance at the figures that the numerous polling organisations had been pumping out on a daily basis for months.

The result of next Thursday’s vote is still completely up in the air, and there’s every chance that the next seven days could determine who gets the keys to Number 10 Downing Street for the next five years, but with people beginning to firm up their voting decisions the general trend we can expect is becoming clear.

2015 General Election Manifestos

Steven Kellow April 21st, 2015 - 4:07 pm Politics General Election

Manifestos have always been more of a wishlist than a ticklist – these are the policies a party would put in place given the perfect conditions for what they hope to achieve. Of course things like economic recessions or major foreign policy troubles make it — Read more →
