" You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong"  Discuss................ Preferably before Thursday.

[Crofter]

So lets see.....we have a weak Prime Minister who does not deserve strengthening, a strong surge for Lib Dems which will likely weaken the Tories and a weak voting system which someone, someday will have the courage to change. 
Meanwhile I have to vote tactically as I cannot vote with my consience and see Labour take this marginal seat from the SNP!  (I voted for Blair in '97 and have never forgiven myself......I really did believe him......then.)

The Tories have 1 MP in the whole of Scotland ( therefore weak).

We can have an SNP winner in Ochil if we just have a 1% swing from Labour!  I wonder - are they weak enough?  There's an awful lot of Gordon Banks boards going up, and precious little of anything else.  Annabelle Ewing is the great Winnie Ewing's daughter so she is definitely strong! And a really nice person too.  She has my vote

Just reading the news headlines on the BBC News website and the heading is "Labour flight for jobs", according to Gordon Brown in Wales today. Who the hell do they think made so many people unemployed in the first place, are they so stupid or just arrogant? Perhaps he should be trying to get himself a new job before he's sacked at the end of this week!

James I am sorry to say It's up you I'm fireproof or so they seem to think We will all know on Friday though

Hm, I was definitely going to vote SNP in Ochil but Annabelle Ewing had an election statement in the local papers in wihc she criticised the local council for closing the manned loos in Alloa and replacing them with superloos. It smacked of cheap electioneering and was entirely unrelated to the Westmister campaign. I was very disappointed in her.

I'm also really concerned that Nick Clegg seems to be indicating that he would consider working with the Tories in a hung parliament. I don't see how he can do that without compromising some of the LibDem key promises like electoral reform to bring in PR - the Tories will never buy that one - and that's one of the key reasons I would vote for them. I couldn't bear it if David Cameron "won" by any means.

It's getting harder, not easier.

She was replying to a question raised by very angry constituents at the Brian Taylor big Debate on Friday - I was there and they were very vocal.  I asked about the night trains (about half way through this recording - don't know if it is still live - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00s5hc3)  I thought she did very well.  She has my support - and especially if there is only a 1% swing needed to get away from Labour.

Has anyone thought how much crap is generated for an election How many trees are felled I know they were from a sustainable source How much Landfill is generated? And last but not least how much mess is made posters blowing across the fields and down the streets.It's nearly as good as Poppy Day I went past the Kelstern Memorial last week and there is/was rubbish all about Disgusting.

[Rosemary]

I asked about the night trains (about half way through this recording - don't know if it is still live .

IS it - which one? Wee County or Alloa advertiser?

[Wizard]

Well you will have to make haste its nearly 3/4 of the day gone by

[doganjo]

Alloa advertiser  - but thank goodness they didn't name me    Phew..........  I look awful!

Anyway, I've done my duty and voted.

[jameslindsay]

I voted earlier too. I will say that I have been in Kircald, Glenrothes, St Andrews, Kinross and Dundee in the last few days and there are virtually no posters up on the lamp posts asking you to vote for a particular party. In years gone by the lap posts were full of them and no one ever came to take them down after the election. And, I have only had 1 flyer through the letterbox and that was for the Lib Dem's.
