If the Tories win we will be treated to some first-class vitriol for a while.

I should have said 'if they form a government that survives the first opportunity to bring it down.'

Has a Labour government backed by the LibDems been ruled out?

[ariniaxia]

nye, the lib dems have pretty much ruled out working with gordon brown, but there's still a possibility that they could a deal with labour with a different leader, especially as labour are far more likely than the tories to do a deal that includes electoral reform. it all depends though on who gets the biggest share of the votes of the two (labour will win more seats come what may). an interesting scenario would be if the lib dems polled more votes than labour and nick clegg became prime minister leading a mostly labour government.

If Nick Clegg became Prime Minister, I will donate 5 quid to Charity.

The ideal for me would be a Conservative-LibDem government that pushes through electoral reform. Since it may be unlikely for the Tories to go for electoral reform, a Lib-Lab coalition is my next best hope.

I actually voted Labour despite vaguely supporting Lib Dems generally. This was because the local Labour candidate is a rebel who doesn't toe the party line, and is considered a good local MP. The Lib Dem candidate looked about 12. Doubtless Ozzy would have voted for him on this reason alone.

This was also only possibly because Gordon Brown, for all his failings, is not Tony Blair. I could NEVER vote for a party led by Blair.

I voted Lib Dem in the simultaneous local elections. All their candidates were local, whereas 2/3 of the Tory candidates lived in the expensive (I should say even more expensive) areas in another part of the borough. One Green candidate didn't even live in North London, let alone Islington. The address was in West London. Pathetic.

QFT. I'm voting Labor.

4h unless they're on dst, AFAIK.

[lopezsokero]

UKIP for me.

UKIP for me.

Why am I not surprised.

Something wrong with the poll. You don't need to be a Brit to vote in this election.

[xochgtlm]

You aren't even a Briton, how does any of this affect you?

Liberal Democrats & Labour both support lowering the voting age to 16. If they do it'll have a huge affect on my work.

Plus the world is pretty globalized now, so what happens in the UK affects Americans and vice-versa.

[inve.tment]

Yea, they've been talking about that poll non-stop on the BBC, but no one seems to be taking it seriously. I'm rather incredulous as well.

[raspirator]

After the Sunderland poll though...Basically, it seems credible now. The big question is what happened between Tories and the Lib Dems, because anything lost between LD and Lab is doesn't matter in a hung parliament, and it is looking like the LD lost there...

American or Canadian Thanksgiving?

On the upside my Scottish relatives seemed to thoroughly enough the idea of a Thanksgiving holiday especially since all the American and Canadian relatives did all the cooking.

The British election analysis and polling is so bad. Everything depends on districts but it looks like they have no district based polling. Either in opinion polls or exit polls. They keep talking about the overall swing based on national polls, but that is just so useless when everything breaks down differently for each constituency.

You'd think they could identify the 100-200 most contested seats and do specific polling in those before the election to give a much better picture of what is happening. We do that here, why is the UK so far behind on polling?

[Kemapreedasse]

The BBC knows which seats are being watched the closest. They have them up on their map. Seats that went one way narrowly last time. Doesn't seem that hard.

Also, was anyone watching Gordon Brown's victory speech? What's up with that guy standing behind him?

[Dreqsqse]

just some nutter.
