Given that no one party will have an outright majority, IF you could pick and choose politicians/policies from the main parties what combo would you come up with? (e.g. anti-trident with anti-Europe? Farage leading a Green Cabinet? etc)

There are relatively few candidates because politicians don't seem to be as famous as personalities as they used to be. In the eighties you could recognise the cabinet and most of the shadows too, and know something about them...Gummer and the burger, Currie's eggs, Parkinson's pants down, Howe the dead sheep, Tebbit the ex-pilot and the cricket allegiance, Portillo and his lips, Heseltine and Westland/his career plan for number ten, the list went on and on, both sides...Benn, Cook, Smith, Kinnock, Hattersley...individuals with personalities that you heard giving speeches.
It gave Spitting Image something to really work with.
Now...no stories, no spitting image, anonymous individuals beyond Boris and David, Ed and Ed, Farage, Salmond...and grey, grey, grey ranks of placemen ( and women) mouthing script-written, vetted sound bites.
Boring.

Yeh! Bollock to the policies we want some big fun personalities. I'd vote for a Boris/Farage alliance just for the laughs. Makes you proud etc.

How about Nicola Sturgeon as Prime Minister, with George Osborne as Chancellor, Ed Miliband as Health Minister, Nick Clegg as Education Secretary, Natalie Bennett as Environment Minister, Nigel Farage as Foreign Secretary, Leanne Wood as Energy Minister, Nick Griffin as Home Secretary, Boris Johnson as Defence Minister, and David Cameron as Cabinet Gimp.

Cameron was seen leaving a duck house the other night.
Apparently, he had been discussing politics with Orville.
But after a while Orville gave up after trying to explain how it works.
It appears the creepy looking windbag turned down the offer to help form the next Tory cabinet.
So did Orville.

Last election I saw no-one out bragging, and wasn't once pestered by pollsters. This year where I live has suddenly become a 'target seat' for all 3 parties (I should say 'both the parties, and also Libdems'), and the quantity of paper stuffed through the letterbox has been enough for me to fill a recycling bin. We've had people knocking on the door, sometimes several visits from different representatives of the same party, we've had some of the big hitters in the town centre with TV crews and press officers in tow. After all of the forced in-at-the-deep-end involvement in politics over the last few weeks, I've definitely decided what I'm going to do on election day. I'm going to draw a massive cock and hairy balls on my ballot slip.
