The seats that are yet to declare are not all Tory strongholds, or they need to do better than expected to get the seats. And we have seen some weird swings helping out the Cons.

Eight seats is a lot by the looks of it.
EDIT: Similar fiscal policies as well.Last edited by flipside; May 7, 2010, 00:54.

from the way it's looking it's hard to see many combinations that would last. would the lib dems really want to prop up a defeated labour party, with the support of celtic nationalists? would the tories want to govern with the DUP and rely on smaller parties voting with them (or at least not voting against them) issue by issue?
if the tories and lib dems do a deal there would at least be a clear majority, but would they be able to agree on electoral reform? i think the leaders might be willing, but i doubt they would be able to take their parties with them."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Canada has managed over the past six years, but our finances have not been a shambles to begin with.
However, the worst situation would be a screwed up government.
Cameron+ DUP would no doubt be better than a government where Plaid Cymru/Sinn Fein/The Brighton Green had the casting votes.

And that's why we should vote in the party that got absolutely every call on the economy wrong over the credit crunch?The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

If Lib+Cons could agree certain policies economically, that would be the strongest outlook short term, and then offer refs on other issues or a further election.
