me vot lib dem but Lab will win but hope much reduced majority

I think Labour will do pretty well, a majority of 80-100. I think the Tories don't have much to offer, and Labour haven't really got their message across very well yet(ie we're maybe not that great but the Tories are WAY worse than us).

Also I think people trust Gordon Brown more than TB, and he'll come to the fore as the campaign progresses.

There you go, the slightly tipsy campaign preview from near Glasgow.

I would like Lib Dems to win. I think it would be funny.

Failing that monster raving loony. The trouble with that is that is people in britain aren't fun and have no sense of humor or irresponsibility so they aren't going to vote for a party with a joke name (except possibly Labour).

Neither.

neither, but I think pedro7 is probably right about the result

Voting Lib Dem. Labour with a greatly reduced majority the outcome though

I'm in a Tory/Lib Dem marginal held by a Lib/Dem. I'm an advocate of STV (before any party allegiance). Our MP has been helpful; the other relevant candidate, a local counsellor, hasn't.

It's a secret ballot.

One rather unlikely outcome is that, in the event of a balanced (hung) parliament, there will be a Labour/Tory coalition and a Lib/Dem and "others" opposition.

That could work. What are the odds of a hung parliment?

I see. What happens in the event of a hung parliment?

Morning Major General.........etc etc

I love it when the replies are shorter that posters name!

I'll bet on Labour to win but with ( hopefully ) an uncomfortable majority.

When you take 'off stage' the current Happy Lads double act, and the futile attempt to save something of Rover, following Stephen Byers guidance to the current ownership the gapbetween the parties is not enormous.

For me it is Labour = ever higher taxes = ever more spending = more 'control' = more targets, more red tape, & taking away our responsibilty for what WE do.

Conservative = Less tax = less government = less spending = give the responsibility back to us.

Before the shouts go up , I KNOW labour will Increase tax, probably via N I Contribitions, and I KNOW the Tories will cut more spending than they admit. So it come sdown to one other factot -The Iraq War, I will never vote for a government which perpertrated that ,whatever their reasons.

Please note: The House Rules regarding this forum do state 'No Polling'. We're not sure how the Moderators missed this, but we're afraid the first posting to this conversation will have to be removed.

The notes for contributing are very clear on this - we will not host polls.

Ah spoilsports.

I think now would be a good time to point out that I wasn't polling because I asked who everyone THOUGHT would win, not who everyone was voting for. People told me that anyway.

You should've clarified your definition of polling more clearly!
