CON + LD are -8, LAB + SNP is +8.  is that just reflective of where the results are coming from, since everyone has agreed that Labour disaster is the only possible outcome?

why are you including the Lib Dems with the Tories and why are you including the SNP with Labour?

the first is easy: they've governed by coalition for 5 years.  the second is my belief that if Labour + SNP = 32_ seats Miliband will be made PM.

it gets bright mad early in the morning over there.  I should've known that from Wimbledon.  makes the all-nighters these wizards have to pull a bit more tolerable, I'd imagine.

at least in the UK you can form these minor parties and make something of them.  unlike the USA.

Sources say that Miliband will be gone by lunchtime.

that's a clever line, but other 'sources' suggest he holds the leadership until Labour picks a new one.  you need a face to deal with

why does every victor feel the need to thank the police?  don't British police not kill people?
