 . (Narrowly missed the 2005 election). Gona vote Green because I couldn't find a convincing conviction either way in the national race. And I think Caroline Lucas deserves a seat. My vote will be very relevant I believe .PS: my opinion wasn't changed by any of the debates, but has been heavily influenced in this topic as well as by my dad | ||

If Caroline gets a seat it will indeed be quite incredible. I'm definitely going to stay up to watch it all live, there's a few real stories such as will Ed Balls get his seat back? Will Nick Griffin get Barking? | ||

Definitely going to get the beers in and watch it. I'm so glad that I don't have any money on Betfair as I'd probably blow it all on political degeneracy (that said, I don't know why Labour don't put millions on themselves not winning, when they're that much in debt, taking a sure thing makes sense). Lucas will win Brighton easily by the way | ||

you reckon?? I don't have any idea of recent polling results in Brighton but I wouldn't want to risk it, although I do like a little flutter every now and then. The greens went on a big campaign saying that they were the bookies' favourites but there are still so many vocal labour supporters here...I guess a few of them might be siphoned off the labour cause and the con cause will grow. I don't think I'll spend my last vestiges of money on a evens bet  | ||

Or was this a ploy to gain votes from people who dislike immigrants? | ||

Pakistanis kind of do, similar to black street gangs really, I think was part ploy to get more votes and part him just being himself and hating on minorities -_- | ||

Asians have a reputation of being rowdy in some places as do lots of other minorities...but it's nothing racially specific, it's to do with money and schooling. And yeah what Americans call Asian we call oriental in this country. | ||

We didn't see if anything happened before that. I think that was just typical of the sort of fights that occasionally break out. Both groups were to blame and were clearly up for a fight. Stupid macho nonsense stirred up by racism. | ||
