With less than a week to go time to put your cursor where your mouth is! Lets see if we can predict the result. (I didn't include Con-Lab pact as that is never going to happen.)

Four days in the run-up to an election is a long time and, anything can happen within that time. Still, being optimistic, have gone for a Conservative majority. Fingers well and truly crossed!

Great. I love your optimism - I really, really hope this does not happen. frown

But people still HATE the Tories with a real deep passion and would rather grit their teeth and either stay at home, or vote Liberal 'just to keep Thatcher out' (Yup, I STILL hear it).

I think Tory highest count BUT hung with some support from the Liberals unless CMD says or does something really stupid in the next few days.

Bumped back up again.

Interesting to see that as many people think that the liberals and labour are as likely to form an alliance as Brown going crazy ape bonkers with his drill & sets.

Now Cameron has shot himself in the foot by (reportedly) saying he will NOT form a coalition with the Lib Dems.

I think this is a bad mistake. If someone was thinking about voting Libdem may at the last minute decide to vote Tories if they took on-board some of their ideas.
But to dismiss them completely they may just not vote at all or go back to voting Libdem just to upset things.

I just hope that the Tories will make much of the Lib Dems anti car policies so that more people refuse to vote for them.

Judging from the current polls Labour will get fewer votes than the Lib Dems and much fewer than the Conservatives, but more seats than either. So GB will try to hang on as long as possible.

It isn't at all far fetched to think that there might be a demonstration in Whitehall or Trafalgar square to encourage him to go, which the police will use the anti terror laws to break up............

Also, does anyone know the procedure if Labour is the largest party in a hung parliament but GB loses his seat?

Then again, someone who wants Labour out but prefers to vote Liberal, might be persuaded to vote Tory just to get Labour out (knowing that a coalition isn't on he cards) .. it's certainly one or another in my consituency (Zac Goldsmith vs Susan Kramer)

Good point, never thought of that. So its a double edged problem/solution. Damned if you do .. etc.

Does anybody know how big the member from Kirkaldy's majority is?

Majority of 18,216 or to put it another way 58.1% of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath residents who voted in 2005 are mentally sub normal

18,000+ majority, 41,000 turnout. He won't be going anywhere.

The first results usually start coming in after about 45 mins but if it is very close we may not know the final result until late Friday.
