Boris is favourite to replace Cameron as leader of Conservative party, he'd destroy Milliband in a GE.

Farage has traction and will be an MP next GE, possibly along with a few of his mates.

LibDem are done, finished.

So it's not impossible that Boris could approach Farage and his say, 6 seats, to form a coalition if required.

Odds of Boris being the leading party, but being 6 seats short of a majority? Very minimal I say. In addition to that, UKIP never do as well outside of European elections, so fingers crossed they fail, and can't even get Farage a seat. (fingers are crossed very very hard).

By the look of it most from southern Englandshire on here are tory voters anyway so they are quite happy with the prospect of a conservative Gov for evermore, after all they did let them buy their council house;)

OK - but it is a horrid risk if you dread that possibility. And even if we dismiss Farage and UKIP as being unlikely to have enough MPs to make a difference - a Boris Johnson led government - oh bloody nora! And Salmon is berated as being a supercilious snake oil salesman; what do I make of Boris the buffoon - that statesman like figure who could well be representing the United Kingdom at Top Tables across the world. God help us.

lots of friends of mine in London all joked when he first put himself up for MOL, there was no way anyone would vote for him!!!!!

Two terms later!!!:(

Aye - there are enough folks who can't be bothered with politics and politicians so 'vote for Boris' is a hoot - it's a laugh. They say - Look at what we've done - we've gone and got a buffoon elected to be MoL and if we make lots of positive noises about him the stupid Tories will have him for leader - as we - the public - like him.

Spot on Patricks.

Irreplaceable is a word I did not ever think would be tagged to Boris.

I find it really funny when the Londoners berate Salmond and yet they voted for Boris.
Buffoon of the first order.

I really do not want to be governed by that pair of twits [Farage and Johnson]. My postal vote is coming in soon and I think it will be a Yes.
BTW 20% of Scots are voting by post.

Boris is no Buffoon and neither is Nigel. These two still have a long way to go in politics and continue to gather much popular support.

It amuses me how so many people on this Forum are anti Tory and anti UKIP. Of course they are entitled to be so but maybe they could explain the alternative that would improve our lot? I happen to think that UKIP are just what this country needs to kick start it out of the political malaise we have sunk into. I also seem to be in a very small minority here; please educate me as to exactly what they represent that is so bad, rather than just uttering sound bites.
