Lib Dem landslide

[morwen]

There is an opinion poll in today's NME, of NME readers. It has the figures :

Lib Dems - 37%

Labour - 26%

Tories - 17%

Other - 9%

Undecided - 13%

If I plug these numbers into the BBC's handy thingy, we discover that this would result in a Liberal Democrat majority of 194 (with Labour having 196 seats, and the Tories none).

But the voting figures don't translate easily into seats won. It's all about swing in key marginals. A cynic would say that's why the Libs are so keen on PR... and why the other parties oppose it.

In other news.... I went to get corset on Monday (following the visit on Friday etc etc) as arranged. She'd forgotten it. Said she'd drop it off to me at home monday evening/tues morning. Still not here. And now she's gone to Whitby. grrrr

I think those seats are based on comparing the %ages with the 2001 figures, and assuming uniform swing, which is the method most opinion polls use.

Aye, she so needs a manager....

Btw, in reply to your lexgoff post - I am probably going.
