IT appears from reading Ukip, Green and Tory policies we could all pick and mix on what issue we’d support. I oppose wind farms, a Ukip policy, but am not in favour of bringing back grammar schools.

I’m disheartened as a Labour supporter. I find some in the party would do a deal with the SNP on the basis of better this than a Tory Government.

If the SNP is truly acting as a surrogate Labour conscience then Ed Miliband need not do any deal as they ought to be supporting Labour policies.

I’m opposed to being associated with the SNP, whose sole aim is to eventually leave the UK on which the rest of the UK has no say. We will be run by a place based in Edinburgh and who will want more power plus cash if Ed gives them an inch. Pity they voted ‘No’ but the Scots know which side their haggis is buttered.

I hope Labour has the power and sense to resist such an unholy alliance. I choose my friends and party carefully.
