I noticed Tory Landlord has come up with his election prediction. He believes Tories: 36%, Labour: 29%, Lib Dems: 25% Others: 10%.
Here are my prediction.
The Conservatives will win the election with a minority government short by say 10 MP's with 37% share of the vote. The Conservatives will not work with the Liberal Democrats and the Liberal Democrats will not work with them due to a disagreement on voting reform.
Labour will have an even worse day at the polls then currently predicted and will get 27% share of the vote.
Liberal Democrats share will be about 26% and will come third just, Lib Dems will only have about 90 MP's. They will still lose only one seat to the Conservatives.
UKIP will win 2 seats including Nigel Farage and the Greens will win 1 seat, Brighton. The BNP will not win in Barking, Labour will. I'm also expect say 2 Independents to win and both nationalist parties to gain a seat each.
I think whoever wins the election will become very unpopular very quickly (poison chalices) as all parties said they had no plans to raise VAT the winner would be seen as a liar because the winning party will raise VAT.
So to sum up my prediction for the most unpredictable election I have been able to vote in is.
Tories: 37%
Labour: 27%
Lib Dems: 26%
Others: 10%.
UPDATE Lib Dem Voice has a prediction post here
I have gone for the above plus, 92 Lib Dem MPs 72% turnout, PM David Cameron
Ukip will win nothing.
ReplyDeleteOh yes we will - Nigel's just crashed his way in as a certainty for Buckingham. I hear that he can still talk, so look out for a bandaged-swathed winner on TV early tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteNone of the indications point to UKIP winning anything at all, crash or no crash.
ReplyDeletePersonally I see Lib Dems getting more like 85 seats than 90 and Cameron to be short by about 15.
Turnout 68-69% for me.
Well I got that wrong, part from the Greens
