Are we watching different interviews? In this he's asked if he'll serve a 3rd term if he is relected and he says no. He doesn't just come out with it as if he's assuming he'll win in May.
If we're thinking of the same one, you've either not watched it or you're being wilfully ignorant.

haha
I'm all for a bit of partisanship every now and then, but I'm pretty sure you know how ridiculous you sound.
I can't imagine how tedious it must be to sit on the internet and pretend that you're angry/bemused at something somebody has said when you know full well what they've said is

This is the synopsis to his book. I haven't read it so can't vouch for its accuracy.
"Over the span of just nine months in 2011 and 2012, the world’s most famous universities and high-powered technology entrepreneurs began a race to revolutionize higher education. College courses that had been kept for centuries from all but an elite few were released to millions of students throughout the world—for free.
Exploding college prices and a flagging global economy, combined with the derring-do of a few intrepid innovators, have created a dynamic climate for a total rethinking of an industry that has remained virtually unchanged for a hundred years. In The End of College, Kevin Carey, an education researcher and writer, draws on years of in-depth reporting and cutting-edge research to paint a vivid and surprising portrait of the future of education. Carey explains how two trends—the skyrocketing cost of college and the revolution in information technology—are converging in ways that will radically alter the college experience, upend the traditional meritocracy, and emancipate hundreds of millions of people around the world."
Elinor Ostrom thinks so (with regards to the environmental stuff). Her 8 principles for managing the commons below
8 Principles for Managing a Commons
1. Define clear group boundaries.
2. Match rules governing use of common goods to local needs and conditions.
3. Ensure that those affected by the rules can participate in modifying the rules.
4. Make sure the rule-making rights of community members are respected by outside authorities.
5. Develop a system, carried out by community members, for monitoring members’ behavior.
6. Use graduated sanctions for rule violators.
7. Provide accessible, low-cost means for dispute resolution.
8. Build responsibility for governing the common resource in nested tiers from the lowest level up to the entire interconnected system.
they need to go at least 5 piont's clear of Labour in the polls to win if they are correct, due to the boundery make up of the seats, they havnt been that far ahead for some time, one of the biggest at the weekend had them 3 pionts behind, two others had them ahead by a piont at best, so they arnt as nailed on as some think,
I think they may get the most seats but not the number to govern on there own or even with Ukip, long way to go and its going to get dirty so its all to play for one scandle could decide the election result.
Not with an overall majority they won't!

I hope labour don't get in again myself. They messed up the country big time.
I feel as if a lot of older people vote for parties based on the what their family has always voted rather than on what the current policies are. Where as younger people are more likely to vote (well not many do) for parties based on current policies.
