General Election 2015

























Peter Kellner is spot on, 310 seats is enough to form minority government. No need for coalition. I would have expected labour to form a minority if they'd got 290

It would be humiliated in parliament every week

Does anyone understand it though?

It's difficult to know. How do people find the German system? I think it's about two thirds constituencies and a list system for the rest in the regions, isn't it? That's how it's done for the Scottish Parliament. In 2007 they had local elections at the same time, voted on by Single Transferable Vote, and there was considerable confusion. France has a sort of AV, but there you have to vote again a week later, with only the top two candidates standing. Australia has the Alternative Vote system and it seems to work okay there, but there are only two big parties, Labor and the Liberals, with some other party (Nationalists?) linked to them.

So lib dems could be all but decapitated

I think from what I've seen that there are 40 seats that bbc are giving to cons from lib dem and labour that local people are saying it's too close to call

Somebody's already set up a Twitter account called @LibDemDeposits to document the money they've lost so far.

Lord Ashcroft 6000 poll today:

Con 34%

Looks to be closer in line with YouGov than the IPSOS Mori exit poll.
