Election Predictions

My election predictions (after conversation with [livejournal.com profile] chuma over here):

Vote results: Conservatives->Lib Dem->Labour
Seat results: Labour->Conservatives->Lib Dem

Public to get very confused and upset.

Because people in the UK have accepted the FPtP system for centuries. It's easy to understand, and each area elects an individual, which again is easy to understand. And since neither of the big two parties want to change the system, it's never seriously raised as a political issue.
