It's interesting how far away from the real results this poll is so far. I always thought this forum might reflect a fairly decent cross section of the public.

But apparently there's a significant gap between the geeky public and the real public. :-) Labour are doing far better than I expected.

Ultimately I suspect we're up against the same old politicial problem... most people support political parties in the same way they support football teams. They can't remember why they support who they do, it's just something they've always done.

Mainly to do with Lib Dems failings, not Labours succeeding.
 
My prediction for a 2nd Conservative seat in Scotland has failed (for now at least)
Aberdeenshire stays with the Lib Dems at 38.4%. Cons at 30.3%.
4.9% swing from LD to Cons.

Almost!

Still sod all meaningful going on in Scotland, not one change.

How much did you lose? :(

163 to go.
 
If the stats stay similar to now it may not be up to the Lib Dems at all, they may not get enough votes to actually het a majority with Labour. If that happens I guess the only option would be to join the Conservatives if they wanted a chance in power.
