4) Sure the incumbents won in 1983 after being way behind in the polls. Planning on another Falklands War to pull that off again?

#5 I also loved the Connections tv series! I like the concept of that website, but I absolutely cannot figure out how to "zoom" outward to see the vertical axis contained in one screenful. It's just a whole bunch of scrolling along both axes. :(
