Election Predictions

[andrewducker]

My election predictions (after conversation with chuma over here):

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

Public to get very confused and upset.

The problem is that neither of the three candidates is particularly compelling as a PM.

can we just adopt obama?

I'm not sure the public would get terribly upset or confused. We have had the First Past the Post system for a very long time and it is well understood. The Liberal Democrats would get upset, and Twitter would probably explode, but unless there is a hung parliament, it would surprise me if the same system wasn't in place for the next general election.

Well, this is inevitable no matter what the vote/seat results, I suspect.

I'm obviously very much hoping for the first two in the first option to be swapped (which I don't think is entirely implausible, depending on how the politiX-Factor goes over the next two Thursdays). But aside from that, yes, probably. The last Daily Politics election special on the iPlayer had some nice graphs on the topic.
