    I like the idea of a Tory minority Government, but I have a sick feeling the DUP may take the role of king maker for them.

    Anyone who can should watch the ITV coverage. It actually seems the most fair and balanced so far. BBC and SKY are too biased and sensationalist , RTE and NI channels too Irish orientated.

    I thought there was a massive purge on drug use in the BBC a few years ago. That graphic is Magic Roundabout territory.

    Adams says some unionists voted for Gildernew cause of her record as an MP.

    The record of an someone who doesn't take their seat? :pac:

    BBC News are showing the BBC Scotland feed.

    RT is doing fracking!

    The advent of UTV Ireland has taken that option away from UPC viewers, unfortunately.

    Gerry Adams getting a good grilling about that Gerry Kelly leaflet. Waffling incoherently.

    Wish politicians would just call a spade a spade and admit when they make a mistake.

    What Gerry Kelly leaflet? please tell us more.

    Disappointed by BBC so far.

    Too much effort on graphics.... too many talking heads each getting 5 seconds each before being cut off.

    But have absolutely zero influence on anything.

    As much as the DUP, UUP and SDLP.

    The 'alternative' coverage on Channel 4 is by far the most entertaining and inciteful coverage. Paxman is actually very funny.

    Yeah I realised, pity for people really. In a way its a shame since I think that is what has turned so many against UTV Ireland.

    Havent watched Channel 4, happy enough with ITV atm. Although when **** goes down it will probably be on BBC or SKY...:pac:

    If the DUP go into coalition with Cameron they will be put under scrutiny like never before.

    It would be comical in a way to watch the British media seize upon whatever the latest Jim Wells-type controversy would be, probably on a month-by-month basis.

    I think if the numbers are right the Lib Dems will still be the partner of choice and they will have enough to win most votes. The DUP can be bought off.

    Thought the 316 poll was a BBC one, I notice UTV are using it too.
