William Hague predicts the 2015 election will be close (and I agree!)

William Hague writes ...
 

"We know next year's election is going to be close.

The other parties have already started eyeing up cosy deals:
  • Nigel Farage has said he'd prop up Ed Miliband as Prime Minister
  • The Scottish National Party have drawn up a shopping list of demands in return for a deal with Labour
  • And the Greens have promised to "push Labour to be truer to its original principle" if they join with Ed Miliband
One thing's clear: we need to make sure Britain avoids the chaos and uncertainty of a Labour-led coalition government - and we need your help to do so.

A group of supporters have promised to match any donation you make today - so please donate to our campaign and your contribution will be doubled.

Thank you,
 

William Hague

Going off on a tangent again, sorry. Just noticing over the last few weeks fuel prices have been falling (thanks to record low oil prices, No thanks to government taxation) but because fuel prices are lower, we are seeing better growth, and we are seeing great inflation and employment figures. Coincidence, I think not.
Now cut the tax on fuel, doing so will help cut the deficit, something i have been trying to tell the goverment for years.

^ that is what the tory's can do.

labour are on a different tangent.
Labour and its campaigners are moving to end the "bedroom tax" policy. Quite simply Labour needs helpless serfs who need their local authority to look after them. Labour doesn't want independent people. Nor does Labour want to end welfare dependency. Labour wants people continuing to believe they are helpless clients of the state. It doesn't care who it has to use or how to win power. Their powerbase comes from welfare dependency and they need voters to believe some people are victims.
They are banking on the policy being controversial, but it is fair to the taxpayer,and most of all, reintegrating long term welfare claimants back into the economy, getting them economically mobile, and getting them away from welfare is the right thing to do.

So we see the truth again. What people actually mean when they say there is a housing crisis is that there are no large properties exactly to specification in the location they want them, paid for by somebody else.

There we have it, Labour is not the Conservative problem, nor is UKIP, the problem the conservatives have to face is, well its themselves really.

Jim, many of the points you make are excellent.

But we do have a problem with Labour because, alas, many people want to believe the fairytale position which Labour is presenting and you so aptly describe.

Hence, although in a rational world Labour would not get a single vote, in the real world they will get millions.

It would really help if we could do the minus £200 trick on Labour funding - we take £200 off them and the unions match remove and give them £200 less as well - but sadly I don't think Labour HQ is any more likely to fall for that one.

I think a conservative majority is becoming more and more likely each and every day.

UKIP are moving from Train Wreck to train wreck, and whilst a protest vote is always good during a by-election or in a mid term poll, people actually grow up when they realise they are electing the next government. Thats why by election changes so rarely hold after the following General Election. The stakes are so much higher.

Also the more people see Ed Milliband as the next PM, the more they move away from Labour, The Lib dems have a major problem following the "student fees" thing, and the fact they were seen to "sell their own mother" for a shot at government.
we will see a higher than normal turnout for the green party i think, but overall I would put my hard earned on a Tory Majority right now.

Yes its been a difficult one to call, but there we have it.

MY ELECTION PREDICTION FOR 2015

I don't think the conservatives will win it as such, just everyone else will lose it. creating a conservative majority

if that makes sense
