Sqad....if you are up and listening !

Just in case anybody wants to accuse me of being too partisan, here is the current prediction from EC ::

It seems that Labour and the Tories really are neck and neck !

Neck and neck, with the Tories holding a two-point lead... hmm... is there something I could say about that?

Its odd Jim but it will come down to the numbers of MPs in the end. Things are still changing. The wild card in this Election isn't Farage, or any other of the loony-tunes....its the SNP. I have my doubts, as do others, whether they really will sweep the board. They are obviously going to take votes from Labour but if they get just a few less MPs than forecast, than Labour will still be ahead.

I printed out a copy of the EC website of last April, and it was giving the NAT's just 13 seats, and that pushed Labour way to the front.

Still all to play for !

A day later, and the Conservatives are even ahead! 2.3 points clear in the popular vote, with two extra seats to show for it.
