Image by fatedsnowfox via Flickr So tomorrow will see the polls opening for the UK General Election. I have been following the campaigns in my spare time but not really blogging about it. Mainly as I didn’t know where I stood. I do now. I am hoping for a Liberal Democrat surge tomorrow. But enough of who I want to do well, on to some predictions. Some of these are random, others are obvious. I will be up late...

It is not predicted to win seats in Ireland or Poland. Let alone anywhere else! Will...

I asked the following to Ireland South’s Independent MEP Kathy Sinnot: Do you think that Ireland should withdraw from the European Union? The reason I ask this is that you are sitting in a European Parliament group with UKIP who believe that the United Kingdom should leave the Union. Ill post the response when I get it. Incidently the first question asked to her...
