I reckon it will go right down to the wire. Even the bookies have stopped taking bets on Clegg losing his seat.

The only Lib Dem guaranteed to keep his seat is Vince Cable, with a reduce majority.
We simply cannot have Cameron again with his rotten policies

Strangely enough, last month the Labour Shadow Housing Emma Reynolds told the Association of Residential Letting Agents that her party “don’t want to introduce rent controls, so don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers”:

If the bookies have stopped taking bets on Clegg losing his seat, Arthur, why do William Hill have him the odds-on favourite to take that constituency?

Lib Dems 1/3
Conservatives 50/1
Labour 9/4
UKIP 200/1

In fact, all the bookies have him as odds-on favourite http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/.../winning-party

Now why doesn't that surprise me?

Cue the arrival of the usual suspects claiming it's all right wing tabloid lies... :D

Re: General Election 2015: Voting intentions & general discussion
 

I think it's fair to say that polls are more unreliable now than they ever have been. They aren't equipped to cope with so many variables.

And that Osem will continue his ongoing partisan onslaught ;)

Re: General Election 2015: Voting intentions & general discussion
 

It's not just that polls aren't equipped to cope it's also how it translates to parliamentary seats. If the Liberal Democrats survive a pasting and the Tories save more seats than currently projected then the Government can continue as is. There is reason to believe than incumbents might do better than expected.

Although a small majority will be unstable. Many right-wing Tories and Liberal Liberal Democrats may cause trouble next time around.

It's the same with Big Brother polls.
you think someone won't be evicted. and then shock, horror they are evicted.

When Dave is evcted next month he can have a well earned rest :)

Yes me being one of them if you read what I said. It's just rather than use renters as a political football kitted out in hyperbole I'd rather talk about the actual issue

If he isn't can we gloat? :D

Re: General Election 2015: Voting intentions & general discussion
 

Bit arrogant for all of you to assume that the Prime Minister will be either Cameron or Miliband. I am not ruling out, due to a series of constitutional surprises and tough negotiation by a committed group of nationalists, our next Prime Minster to be:

... and those of their voters who're truly dyed in the wool (plus a few who aren't) never seem to like to dwell on that reality for some reason. :confused: :rolleyes:

Each time Bliar was re-elected I seem to recall 'sincere' promises to do better, learn from the mistakes blah, blah, blah. I don't recall much evidence of either but perhaps someone will educate me...
