A surprising 34 per cent of voters think that Britain’s interests would “best be served” if the election resulted, as most polls now predict, in a hung parliament, despite warnings that such an outcome would gravely hamper the country’s ability to recover from its economic woes and record deficit. More than half (56 per cent) want one party to win a clear majority.

Poll Narrows -David Cameron is still trusted by voters more than Gordon Brown on three key issues

Labour and Lib Dems being disingenuous on UK Economy
Alistair Darling is set to take official public sector net debt breaking through the £1 trillion barrier. This does not include the £500 billion plus bailout of UK banks and pre-election support for General Motors announced today.
From figures published February 18th 2010, UK public sector net debt was £848.5 billion. (or 59.9% of National GDP) – Source: Office National Statistics
The government has used fanciful growth forecasts of UK GDP growth returning to trend growth of 2.5% per annum by 2011. This is unlikely as even the Prime Minister has stated the UK is still in "Choppy Waters". This leaves the forecast growth rates of 0.6% for 2010 well behind.
This opens up a potential black hole in Britain's finances that implies that actual official government borrowing will be some 50% or more higher than he will announce in this month's budget.
The Lib Dems support this level of borrowing . Both Parties know this situation cannot continue.
BOTH PARTIES SHOULD START TO TELL THE TRUTH.

Gordon Brown’s cuts ‘cost lives of soldiers’
Gordon Brown’s cuts ‘cost lives of soldiers’
So says General Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank who adds
Soldiers’ lives were lost in Iraq and Afghanistan because Gordon Brown failed to fund the Army properly when he was Chancellor, a former chief of the defence staff said yesterday.
The Prime Minister is due to appear before the Iraq inquiry today at 10am.
General Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, who led the Armed Forces from 1997 to 2001, toldThe Times: “Not fully funding the Army in the way they had asked . . . undoubtedly cost the lives of soldiers. He should be asked why he was so unsympathetic towards defence and so sympathetic to other departments.”
The families of servicemen who died on the front line in lightly armoured Land Rovers are already demanding to know why the Government did not send troops out with more helicopters and stronger vehicles.
Brown on Chilcot - Will he deny this story?
In a withering assessment of the “doomed” state of the military, the recently retired Lt Gen Sir Graeme Lamb said that the SAS had been denied even Vietnam-era equipment that could have saved lives.

Gordon Has Lost It - Time to Leave Gordon
He has lost the plot. I thought he was manic and menacing on BBC this morning with Sian Williams. I thought he was going to attack her.
This is the man in charge of any of our potential Nuclear launches.

Is Brown a disaster for our Country?
Is he really such an absolute nightmare for this country and his party?
Should he forget any cowardice he might have and call a General Election?
Why has Blears, Clarke and Blunkett turned against him?

Brown : "Economy is Better Placed to Weather the Global Storm"
Gordon is simply not in touch with reality. He has just told a business crowd that this is the "first financial crisis of the new global age".So the technology stock crash in 2000/1 was not worldwide? Didn't the 1997/8 Asian economic crisis and LTCM collapse have global repercussions, the ERM crisis in 1992 had currency volatility everywhere, Black Monday in 1987 was scary, the Latin American debt crisis in 80s... we have had them all the way back to 1929. All were global financial crises.
Gordon says the economy has "underlying strength", which must be why August saw the lowest new car sales since Bobby Charlton lifted the World Cup. Oh, almost forgot: the Prime Mentalist is getting on with the job and making long term decisions as well.
