1. What party are you supporting?
That is hard to say. I'm Canadian and I support the NDP in Canada. At one time I would have said Labour without hesitation - but these days, the Lib Dems seem to the left of Labour and seem more and more like the British equivalent of the NDP - plus i like the precedent of perennial third party making huge gains. I think i would vote very strategically and would vote Labour of i was in a Labour/Tory marginal, I would vote LD if i was in a Tory/LD marginal and if I was in a Labour/LD marginal I'd have to look at the local candidates.
2. What do you think will be the popular vote outcome?
I'm going to guess Tories 34% and Labour and LibDems 28% each
3. What do you think will be the outcome in Parliament (i.e., who will end up with how many seats, a majority of how many seats, what happens in a hung parliament, who becomes the next prime minister, etc.)?
I have a hunch that the Tories will have the most seats and that there will be a Canadian style Tory minority government that may last longer than people expect because no one will want to pull the plug!
