Who is gonna win prediction time..total seats

[luckyboy]

I know the widespread view is of a labour win.. but lets see who can predict the nearest to the actual result.. no wishful thinking please..

heres mine

labour..366

conservative.190

lib dems.60

others 12

104 majority...

[cruthinboy]

Using the BBC's Seat Calculator, and fine tuning the marginals, I got:

LAB  393
CON  155
LIB DEM  68
OTH  30
Lab Majority - 140

Oh dear!

[Ducati]

If we are talking about our wish list, working on 650 sitting MPs, then I'd like to see 400 Tories, 249 LibDems and 1 Labour (cos I quite like Blunkett). 

[Ducati]

Sorry, just saw the 'no wishful thinking bit', therefore, New Liars will have a large majority, although not as large as last time, the Tories will come in second, but Lib Dems will make inroads on New Liars

Just incase we didn't read you genious "new liars" term the first time, you repeated it for us again. Funny

In making a guess perhaps it would help to bear in mind that there are 659 seats in Parliament and that the previous position was as follows:

  Labour Party 407
  Conservative Party 163
  Liberal Democrats 55
  Democratic Unionist Party 7
  Scottish National Party 5
  Ulster Unionist Party 5
  Plaid Cymru 4
  Sinn F�in 4
  Social Democratic and Labour Party 3 
  The Unity Coalition 1
  Independent 1
  Speaker and Deputies 4
  Total 659 
Previous Government Majority 159

Who cares ?/ My only disappointment is that locally we don't have a Sinn Fein or a Zanu PF candidate to vote for because the 3 main parties have little to choose from between them.
Still there's always UKIP !!!

[Ducati]

Yep, sorry - I forgot: he, ahem, didn't lie. I'll bear that in mind for future reference.

Thank you pointing out the error of my ways, most appreciated.

[elgroucho]

Here's my guess...

Lab 374

Con 186

Lib Dem 61

Others 25

Lab Majority 102.

[GuavaHalf]

actually there is only 645 seats this time due to boundary changes.

[kempie]

646 seats.
