I heard about that. But the same could be applied in the reverse. In that election the swing away from the goverment was over predicted, the same could be said here. On election day isnt there an average rate for 2 to 1 swing voters going for the current goverment?

I don't want to vote for any of them but feel I should. All I know is I definately will not be voting for the Tories as I watched Oliver Letwin give a news conference and felt an overwhelming urge to throw something heavy through the TV.
Lib Dems might be best as they haven't a hope of getting voting in at my seat so it would be pretty much a protest vote (unless a few thousand other people have the same idea  ) |
Cant you look at your local results from the last election? Then you can decide who best to vote for based on your area. Tactial voting. Theres a 20% Majority for the tory candidate here, its one of the safest seats in the country, and to top it off labour where the nearest party so the swing from labour to lib dem wont help at all. I might vote labour although i know it wont matter
