I look forward to seeing his read of what's going on. But as this'll be his first UK election I'm wondering how much he'll get blind-sided by some of the cultural weird stuff that happens.

Bascially, i'm wondering how much he'll be doing an msm report

keep to the Fen Causeway

I suspect he'll do stuff looking at the historical data and building one of his magic models, as he did for the US election.

The cultural stuff is all nice and fun to talk about, but sticking to the numbers is the better way to do it.

Agree.

If the model and the numbers plugged into the model are accurate the cultural stuff takes care of itself.

Ooh - polly fun. That's going to be interesting to watch.

I see from YouGov that the current Tory lead is 4-5%.

It takes talent not to be able to win during the worst recession since WWII, against an awesomely unpopular PM who happens to be partly responsible for the recession, and is also a war criminal.

Hats off to Wax-on Wax-off Dave. This can only be a good thing for UK politics.

It would be one of the most awesomely epic fails in political history if Cameron didn't win this election.

There aren't even words for it.

But then, having an uncharismatic neoliberal war criminal as the lesser of two evil is quite a fail in itself...

That's true, but, then again, that's what they've had for the past 13 years anyway.
