Crazy so many loons will put labour back in power.

Labour-SNP-UKIP coalition or will it be Conservative-SNP-LibDem ?

In any case very interesting.

SNP have explicitly repeated that they won't support the conservatives (the SNP being labour without Ed is what is destroying labour in Scotland)..

Whatever it is, the SNP will be demanding big concessions (Another referendum or Devo Super Max), Sturgeon has more balls than Clegg.

ah so that means Conservative SNP looks likely.

You don't do much negotiation do you?

.

Why do you think the leader has anything to do with the parties demise in Scotland? It's their actions that have sealed their fate.

There is literally zero chance of a Tory-SNP coalition. In terms of coalitions, the most likely outcomes are SNPLab, SNPLibLab and SNPLab+a broader coalition of the left (Plaid Cymru etc.). Either way, it will be a deeply unpopular gov't for most of England and I struggle to see it lasting the fixed term parliament. The interesting thing about this election is the degree of sensitivity in the final results to a small shift in the number of seats, including the SNP factor. Also, there's typically some move to the incumbent leading up to the election, but that is very debatable this time.

I think it's almost inevitable going to be Lab/SNP, basically the SNP get to decide the election result and with that power there is going to be some sweet revenge for the referendum bullying.
