Labour looking strong?

[Uncle Leo]

My old colleagues at the Magic Sign have priced up loads more constituencies for next year's general election. Makes good reading for Labour supporters...

Elections are won and lost on the marginal seats so it probably takes small movements in support to take a lot of seats. Ed's unpopularity I think isn't based on anything real and if Labour get in despite that there are a number of policies that will really mean something to people and could keep them in power. The achievements of the government are things we are told are there but don't experience ourselves - the economy has picked up yet everyone is skint.

plenty of time for people to come to their senses

plenty of time for the 65.1% who bothered to vote last time to come to their senses

Ed Miliband as Prime Minister, really? we'd be a f****** laughing stock.

Careful what you don't wish for, stranger things have happened. I could easily see a 'no overall majority' and the Lib Dems sliding over to side with Labour this time. There is also a view that we are already a laughing stock in Europe now.

Only in Europe?

I see a Lib Lab coalition with the liberal left leaning press starting to ease up on Clegg etc. in the election runup.

The problem with that prediction is it assumes the lib dems will win a seat or two.

They will hold on to plenty. They continue to poll well in areas where they have the incumbent MP.

About 40 would seem to be their forecast minimum.

Ladbrokes have their under/over line for total Lib Dem seats at 32.5 currently. So while 40 seems a touch optimistic at this stage, a Lib Dem meltdown is certainly not on the cards.

Hung parliament now 11/10; the shortest price it has been in this electoral cycle.

Wheels falling off the Labour bandwagon maybe.

lets hope so!

The latest economy forecasts ( growth highest in G7) won't help Labour. The Scot's vote will decide it; with no Scot MPs then there won't be a chance of a Labour win in any future election.
If Scots vote to stay in UK then a hung parliament is odds on .

No chance.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

No chance.

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. People will look at Ed Balls remeber all his silly hand gestures and Hollandesque utterings and say no thanks to low growth, higher taxes and unemploymernt.

Tax to go up and spending down no matter who to gets in. Some honesty at last. And Labour won't get in according to Labour
