Do you mind? That IS my face!
I believe it still applies, but I'm sure Bilky and I can get away with it for another 24 hours at least.

Surely one ought to have a profile picture ones self before passing comment on those of others?

Lets see HOW Close I can get:
Tory: 271
Labour: 267
SNP: 53
LIB dems: 30 ( I think Cornwall and Deven will return more than just one)
UKIP: 6
Greens: 2 (New one - Bristol West)
Others : 21

I will rectify this in the only appropriate way.

I'm only going to predict two for UKIP now. Thanet South (Farage) and Clacton (Carswell). Reckless loses to Kelly Tolhurst of the Conservatives.
Neck a neck for Lab and LD in Bermondsey and Old Southwark, but Simon Hughes holds on despite a massive swing to Labour. Clegg also survives by the narrowest of margins in Sheffield Hallam.
Big name losers:
Danny Alexander to SNP
Lynne Featherstone to Labour.
One to look out for is Hampstead and Kilburn which could swing to the Tories if the rich decide that the 50% tax rate Labour propose is too much for them, but they do have wealthy liberals and actors who swing towards Labour.

I've got a bottle of Fentimans ready to pop when Soubry loses her seat. She is certainly toast.
The Guardian's last poll shows a slight surge for Labour, placing them neck and neck with the Tories. I very much hope it goes further than that.

In that poll, Labour + SNP + Plaid + Green equals Conservatives + Lib Dems, with 315. Having the DUP as kingmakers would be an odd prospect.
