Isn't playing the tape of Brown's remarks to Gillian Duffy to get her views a bit questionable ethics-wise?

Labour was always going to lose this election badly. The gaffe means we're unlikely to clear 30%. Question is, do we do worse than 1983 in popular vote share? I doubt it.

Labour MP Kerry McCarthy (Bristol East) is in trouble for releasing postal voting results prior to election day.

Which is against the law.

A poll of public reaction to yesterday's bizarre events: http://today.yougov.co.uk/sites/today.yougov.co.uk/files/YG-Archives-Sun-gaffe-28.04.pdf

Such things are usually pretty worthless, but whateversky.

Interesting in the subsets- 7% of Labour supporters are more likely to vote Labour.

Seems to be confirming my thought- those who will leave Labour have already gone.

A government that's been in power for 13 years faced with a recession in very recent memory was never going to stand a chance, to be honest.

The best we can hope for is a hung parliament.

We're either going to get a Tory minority government or a Tory majority government with a majority smaller than an bookmark.

My preferred outcome for this election is a Tory minority government rather than a majority one. Nothing is better than bad.

Yes - as in any place that puts a premium on getting the results right... (and doesn't hold 10,000 elections on the same date).

Oh I dunno...I mean sure, punchcards were terribly inaccurate with the high rejection rate....but wouldn't you say "optical scan" lowers the error rate EXTREMELY? Compare the machine count for Minnesota Senate in 2008 to the manual one. It was almost spot on.

Another thing; far less ballot papers in a UK constituency poll.
