 Labour wouldn't dare do that - they need to get a credible leader and bed him in first. Nor would the Lib Dems if they got a decent amount of seats. Only way I could see that working would be if the Tories got completely screwed and somehow lost seats to Labour, and Lid Dems don't make many gains.Originally posted by Bugs ****ing Bunny View PostThe other possibility is a vote of no confidence followed by another election.You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

 Interesting to see the right-wing press concentrating on smearing a LibDem leader. That's something I've not seen before in the seven previous General Elections I can remember.

 The Guardian have a swing-o-meter toy too. You can view the effects on your own constituency. In mine, (Islington North), even the max allowed 10% swing away from Labour won't shift the Labour incumbent. Under 1st-past-the-post, individual votes seem meaningless in constituencies with large majorities.

 it's getting really interesting now, a genuine 3 horse race. the 'clegg bounce' following the first leader's debate has receeded, but only slightly and most polls still have the lib dems level with labour or one or two points ahead. the tories are polling between 33% and 36% of the vote, so it looks like we're heading for a hung parliament.

 Looking forward to tonight - can Clegg make it a clean sweep and maintain the momentum?
