The opposition at the time of the 1992 election became unelectable following 'The Sheffield Rally' - Google it. It showed them to be a rabid collection of power crazed individuals rather than an alternative government, and the Country decided to reject the alternative and stay with John Major.

I just believe that nothing is for sure until the last vote is counted.

Or they just need Labour voters to vote for other parties like the Greens, UKIP and Lib Dems, thereby deminishing Labour's vote whilst the Conservative vote remains more or less the same. Then they win.

Labour's vote fell by 6.9% in the European elections but the Tories only went up by 1%.

I don't think most people are, however much you'd like them to be ;) People either support the Tories or they don't. You can only put one X on the ballot paper after all, so sitting on the fence isn't an option where politics is concerned.

this might be good for the people then, as it might make the Tories and labour and everyone else have a a scrum to get votes and make alot of people to come out and vote. 60% is not good.

Nobody trusts David Cameron, people want change from Gordon and the Lib Dems seem not to be doing a thing.
