    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.

        Would they be good partners for Cameron?

        Eight seats is a lot by the looks of it.

          You are missing the 25 or so that are regional votes.

          i.e SNP+Plaid Cymru+Green+Alliance+SDLP+DUP.

              They are N.Irish prods in favour of Unionism, and closest in message to the Conservatives of all the regional votes.

              EDIT: Similar fiscal policies as well.

                  Good service. Doubt they can shed light on the oncoming ****-fest though.

                  'Cause it is, frankly, a ****-fest.

                    For your sakes, I hope Cameron gets to 318.

                    Canada has managed over the past six years, but our finances have not been a shambles to begin with.

                      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.

                        Economically, the most coherent policies are Lib Dem.

                        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?

                            Are the nationalist parties likely to favour PR?

                              DUP+Cons is probably the closest in view.

                              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.
