Shouldn't the Tories be expecting a landslide?

And what does it mean that they're not?

.....

I would have thought thet after 13 years of Labour government and the difficult economic times we're living through, the Conservatives would be expecting a very comfortable majority, maybe even a landslide. Firstly, people just get fed up of parties in government and decide to try the other lot. Secondly, this might be expected to happen even more when the economy is going badly (whoever's fault it is).

And yet no one is predicting it as a dead cert or even an almost cert. They weren't even before The Nick Clegg / debate thing began.

I do expect the Conservaties to win, although I'm not happy about it, but if I were David Cameron, I'd be really concerned, at the least puzzled.

Why is nobody mentioning that this election campaign is a complete failure for the Tories who still can?t manage to get a majority after 4 years of rebranding and new leadership (more than once) - despite having a 3rd term unpopular government, with an unelected PM, after an unpopular war and a global recession?maybe Charlie Brooker is :-)"

That was fb status today!!!
