As Hugh said, I think the message delivered throughout the campaign by Cameron and Sturgeon was the ultimate final nail in the coffin for Ed. With Tories, it was a case of vote Dave and get Boris (similar to the ticket in 2005 of Labour with vote Tony, get Gordon) whereas the other notion was vote Ed, get Nicola. I think that may certainly have helped swing it for Tories. Plus, it was all well and good attacking the coalition for what they had done, but I heard no real policies from Labour's manifesto that made me seriously think about using my vote for Labour.
