Re: Sunday after Christmas Open Thread (none / 0)

True dat. I don't think there's anybody betting against the tories being the largest party. A landslide is possible in the circumstances you describe but I don't yet see the signs of the stars aligning for such an event. It may yet happen, but hung or low majority is my guess

keep to the Fen Causeway

Re: Sunday after Christmas Open Thread (none / 1)

The Lib Dems at the last election had worked up to a fairly hard limit on their progress, with the switch between tory and labour vote, the lib dem vote would nead to increase by about 2% just to tread water, when you look at the number of close tory/libdem seats.

I still think that the important vote with a small electoral turnout will be the UKIP vote. that has a possibility to throw a spanner in the Tory works.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
