Hopefully electoral reform ensues.

The one possibility of a silver-lining I can see for the next election (and by electoral reform, I don't mean worthless sh**te like AV).

Labour is wedded to the electoral system that could grant them a majority on 35% and maybe less. While the Conservatives won't budge. The big-two don't want minor opposition parties in Parliament to their left and right respectively.

Conservatives 36%
Labour 33%
Liberal Democrats 14%
UK Independence Party 9%
Others 8%

Tories 294 seats, Labour 291, Lib Dems 36, UKIP 0, Others 29

Anyone's guess what will happen if the result is anything like this. Clegg would probably step down though to be replaced by Farren as another coalition with Clegg there would do the LibDems nothing but more harm.

This is pretty close to my prediction at the moment.

Hampstead and Kilburn here. The most marginal seat (excl. Northern Ireland) I believe, although, it should be an easy Labour hold this time around given the probable decline of the LibDem vote. I've been bombarded by Labour and LibDem literature recently, and Labour did a 'door step' campaign not too long ago.

My parents live in South Thanet for increased fun and games.

Yes, it was a bit bizarre - just a mass drinking session (although, that was to be expected I guess) and Nigel looked stoned at the end.
