Since there's one for Australia...

Al, can you field some of these too?

[Silent Hunter]

Aye.

There's always the possibility of a 'Feb 1974' scenario. If Labour get between 307 and 323 seats, a Con-Lib coalition would still NOT give them a majority.

If it was a hung parliament, I'd expect another election within a year.

Is it true that Blairs support of Bush is the thing that hurts him the most

I'm not sure. It's hurt him, but only about 10% of the electorate actually will base their vote on Iraq.

I wouldn't know specifics, but I can do parties:
Wales: Labour in urban areas and the ex-mining areas, LD elsewhere.
North-East: Labour
North-West: Labour, especially in Merseyside and Greater Manchester
Scotland: Labour
South East: Conservative
East Anglia: Conservative.
London: Labour in the ex-LCC area, somewhat Conservative outside.
South West: Increasingly LD.
West Midlands: Labour
East Midlands: Labour
