so, realistically, who do you think is going to win the election?

Obviously we all know who we individually want to win.

But who do you think will win?

No one then a Tory minority Govt.

Coolfonz · 05/05/2010 22:29

Tories overall majority of 17 is my guess.

LittleWoodenCake · 05/05/2010 22:31

Tories. Just. Buggers.

Cartoose · 05/05/2010 22:32

Conservatives by small majority

CaptainUnderpants · 05/05/2010 22:32

Tories.

TheCrackFox · 05/05/2010 22:34

Tories, small majority.

Lib Dems 2nd, Labour 3rd.

charlieandlola · 05/05/2010 22:36

Tory minority for maybe 6 months and then another election,as early as October,if they can't get a budget through.

No-one, think it'll be hung.

Snorbs · 05/05/2010 22:39

My best guess is Cameron as prime minister but not having an overall majority. But I do reckon that the Lib Dems are going to have their best result ever.

But given the state of the economy whoever gets in is going to be handed a chalice not so much poisoned but one positively overflowing with sewage. And so the Government of 2010-2014 (or whatever) will be held as yet another example of how hung parliaments don't work in England even though the reality would be that no parliament elected tomorrow is going to be able to avoid making massively damaging spending cuts. Which is a bugger.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 05/05/2010 22:39

I think Tories will get the most seats but probably not a majority.
There will be a couple of months of GB trying to form a minority government during which no legislation will be passed.

Then there will either be another election, or DC will be able to form a minority government.

Either way, I think it will only be 18 months/2 years before there is another election.

Northernlurker · 05/05/2010 22:39

Labour with a majority so thin you could use it for tracing paper...

SlartyBartFast · 05/05/2010 22:40

but gb can make some sort of deal with lib dems, assumign cameron has more seats but not enough of a majority.

so, i dont know.

longfingernailspaintedblue · 05/05/2010 22:41

My prediction is for a Tory minority government (short by around 15 seats). Lib Dems to get 95 seats. Labour under 200.

Tashtodd · 05/05/2010 22:41

Tory small majority

wannaBe · 05/05/2010 22:41

I think tori will win with a small majority.

But I think that lib dem are unlikely to gain many votes - think people will rethink when it comes to it and that labour will come second with lib dem 3rd. They've already dropped massively down the poles in the past two days..

Tory minority disaster

TheFirstLady · 05/05/2010 22:44

Tory minority gov unless the polls are lying which is entirely possible.

magentadreamer · 05/05/2010 22:45

Tories with help from the Unionists will form the next govt and I really,really hope that I've got it wildly wrong but some how I don't think I have

The only good thing about tomorrow would be if the SCUM BNP don't make gains and the one BNP councillor on my local council gets booted off, that will be worth a "YES!!!"

lou031205 · 05/05/2010 22:46

Hard one. I know that the results won't reflect public opinion though. For example, in my constituency, the only way to keep Tories out is to vote Lib Dem. But I don't want Lib Dem in power. I just want the Tories less, and know that Labour haven't got a chance here. (9% labour vote last general election for this seat).

So, I am likely to have to vote tactically.
