From the looks of it, the last one out needs to turn off the lights!:o

Lots of smaller parties and independents.
The small, more extreme, parties are going to do well.
Labour still seam to hold the center ground, left of the Torys, right of the
Lib.Dems, however they are quite unpopular after holding office for so
long.

Like Letum said, alot of the independents and extreme parties will do quite well this time. The Conservatives are increasingly looking like the same old smeg with a different wrapper.

The real danger being that the BNP (racial bigots) will win their first seat :nope:

The MP's in this country are a utter disgrace. Lining there own pockets with taxpayers cash while there nations troops take losses on a weekly basis in Afghanistan due to not having the right equipment to the job asked of them.

For a moment I thought you where English.
What an odd mistake to make.

I'd run if I could and work from Australia! At least my travel expenses would be real! I'd fly premium economy to save money for the tax payer!:yeah:

Hey Steed - run for it and when your the PM and I am PotUS we would actually be able to work together to straighten things out.....
I'd hazard a guess that it's some corrupt ****.
It matters not - none of the fringe parties will have enough votes to gain any real influence, and even if they did they wouldn't know what to do with it.
As far as the two horse race goes, I recon it'll be the tories. Despite all of the expenses chicanery, the government is supposed to set an example. Well they didn't, so Zanulabour will be out if the voters of this country have any sense.
On the other hand, if the electorate give labour another term in government, then they (the voters) will deserve everything they get, or rather don't get: Like expenses, tax cuts, employment, a recovering economy, more liberal civil rights, privacy as a citizen of the UK, the right to demonstrate and a whole lot of other things Zanulabour have stolen or mismanaged to the point of negligence.
I wouldn't worry about the BNP...
