Tory Support has picked up slightly - we may avoid a hung parliament.

The front pages are fairly unanimous in their direction, with the obvious exception of the Mirror. Even the Guardian is stating Cameron is on course for power.

It's depressing looking at those predictions as in all cases there will be around 60% of the country that will not have voted for the party in power.

Obvious I know, but I still remember when the Tories got in last time there was that "Hands up who voted Tory" slogan and I for one could not find one person that admitted to have voted Tory.

It's polling day and I still have no idea who to vote for although I will not be voting Labour as we at least know that they are useless.

Depends where you live. Where I was everyone had voted Tory and was happy to say so.

Where I live now no one I know would admit to voting any other way. Everyone I know is a Tory voter.

In no way does this mean that everyone in the UK is going to vote Tory today. It just means that my area and circle of friends and acquaintances is fairly "blue".

If you did nothing but take the PH opinion polls you'd believe that the Tories were about to get 75% of the vote. Well, that's not going to happen.

surely its Tory's then, as any other vote risks a lib/lab pact.

My area is a bit weird. Very affluent, mainly home owners of small to gigantic Victorian housing, always being renovated and with additional extensions being added to as well as very good state schools but we are in a Tooting ward.

Tooting is about 2 miles away and is a sthole compared to round here and it's a strong Labour seat and has been in the 12 years I have been here. So while the locals to my area vote Tory the ward will always be Labour, yet we have a Tory council thus low poll tax.

Basically I can vote for whoever I like, but it will always be Labour at 1st place, thanks to the trillions of scum down the road. laugh

And here in some parts of London it was impossible to find anyone who voted labour.

Doubtful. Have you seen the way she parks her car?! Skank.

Wouldn't it be nice if the scumbag labour voters learned the difference between the deficit and the debt before placing their vote.

WTF? This type of comment paints the Tory voters in a good light.

Perhaps the Tories can pull this off, it would be a fantastic result to see the back of that fkwit who's in charge at the moment.

Given there were similar large numbers of untracable votes from similarley-named people last time, I struggle to see how the election of Galloway was 'fair and squareish'.
