Everyone else understands it Canary. If you logged into Mickey's Polls posts you would too.

Hope you're right Farrier.

I agree that there are an unusual set of factors associated with this election, not least of which being there are two parties to kick for the last 5 years, not one.
But even the uncertainties listed by Gromit are uncertain.

Will the Tories, actually, lose all that many votes to UKIP apart perhaps from in a handful of seats in specific areas.
Will the Lib Dem vote actually collapse? In areas where they are well established I would hazard a guess that they may struggle but not necessarily collapse. And in seats where they have been the main opposition to the Tories are people really going to let the Tory back in by voting UKIP/Labour/Green etc?

The Greens are on 8%+ at the moment in the polls, but if they keep on explaining their policies to peole that figure could collapse

And perhaps most interestingly, will the SNP really take a lot of seats from Labour. The SNP traditionally does not do well in National elections (they polled only 3% more than the Tories at the last election). Depends if the "post-referendum" effect has a lasting effect.

Not Sure who will be walking into Number Ten Downing Street in May of this year, but I think we all know who will be walking out, must be the longest Eviction order in history, BBC.

Well if Cameron is walking out, then it'll be Miliband walking in unless something extraordinary happens

When it's the Labour leader it's his fault: when it's a Tory minister we doff our caps and apologise for the 'angle of the photo'
That's the difference :-)
