Well Labour set themselves up for this when they appointed the "wrong" Milliband.  A knee jerk reaction by the Unions after the moderate Blair-Brown years.  I can pretty much guarantee that with his brother in charge of the party they would be in power this morning.  I've been a Labour voter all my life but simply do not trust Milliband (Ed) to run the country.

To be fair, I do not think the Tories have done too bad in this term.  The economy is looking better for a start, though I concede it couldn't have got worse.  Whilst I certainly do not agree with most of the Tory policies they have some things right, and I remember when doing my Economics A level (in the deep and distant past ) that I always thought their fiscal policy seemed the right way to go about things.  My teacher, a grizzled hard-core Labour veteran, verging on Communist, confided in me that he too thought their monetary policy made more sense ().

Will it be an overall majority?  It's going to be close.

Note the Lib-Dems have been virtually wiped off the face of the earth.  That's as a result of jumping into bed with the Tories, their credibility has been destroyed.  They were always pretty close to Labour back in the day, remember the Lib-Lab pact anybody?
