Have a play with the election calculator in the link. Really shows how the First Past the Post System is skewed.

BBC News - Election seat calculator

Right now, the polls are pointing to a hung parliament:

Does it say how many undecideds there are? I think there are going to be people who are going to vote Labour but may be embarassed to tell a pollster. I think we will see Labour with a bigger share of the vote than polls suggest.

I still can't say I've heard any clear policy from any of them.

It's the usual vague answers, and not answering questions.

As an "independent", I can't help but feel that the media have turned against Brown, cameron is being largely ignored, and God is dead, Long live Clegg.

Policies won't decide this election.

The media will.

All three have absolute contempt for the British public.
What value has voting got when successive governments have imported voters so as to negate the wishes of the indigenous population.

I bet Rupert Murdoch is kicking himself. He wants the Torys to win the election, so Sky news began to canvas for live debates featuring the three party leaders.

Murdoch thought that Brown would be uncomfortable & would probably not give a good impression during the debates thus making Cameron look good, but he did'nt count on Nick Clegg doing so well.

Now what should have been a Conservative win, with a small overall majority, now looks like being a hung Parliament.

I was sooo angry to read today that the election might be an outright victory for the Conservatives. Come on, UK! This was sooo interesting for so long. If the Conservatives win it'll just be boring.

btw as an American who votes Democrat I took a quiz on telegraph.co.uk. Liberal Democrats matched me 61%, Labour 49%, Conservatives 47%. Interesting.

I think we are looking at a hung parliament with maybe a Lib/Lab coalition.
