Labour seem nervous.

Rain all week apparently, jourdain.

You can have cold, calm days in December, mikey.

[jourdain2]

Ta, tonyav.

Not very often in Wales jourdain2.

I first moved to Wales in 1968 and its been raining pretty much ever since !

Not at all. The evidence speaks for itself. The Labour Party is a complete and utter shambles, its leader a disaster – but still it engenders support from the eternally faithful.

Mikey, //I first moved to Wales in 1968 and its been raining pretty much ever since ! //

You might want to think again about that statement. ;o)

The lower the turnout the greater are UKIP's chances.

[Khandro]

I'd like to think UKIP's chances hinge on the important issues facing the UK, not on climatic conditions.

[Colmc54]

Yet is does. Apathy is a more important factor though, not that I care!

UKIP were rather hard done-by in the general election. It wouldn't be a totally bad thing for democracy if they managed to pick up another MP. Still about twenty or thirty short of how many they should have had, mind...

[naomi24]

//UKIP were rather hard done-by in the general election.//

They certainly were. I'd like to see them do it, and I hope the Conservatives lend them their votes, but I think Labour, having such a big majority, will hang on, albeit with that majority vastly reduced.

[jim360]

Then again, Labour had whopping majorities in most of their Scottish seats, and look what happened there!

[naomi24]

True.

[Svejk]

Don't forget the ethnic postal vote fraud effect.

As someone living in this constitution, I can report that presently it's blowing a gale + persisting down with rain. ;)

Sorry,it didn't look right at the time, I meant constituency.
