OK, it's off topic - but has anybody got any predictions around what will happen tomorrow?

My predictions haven't gone too well in the prediction league this season  :( but I'll have a go!
I'll go against the pollsters and predict the conservatives will gain a majority.

Locally, I predict a UKIP win  :police:

My prediction would be - A large yellow depression spreading over the far north of the country with a smaller red pressure area developing over the industrial West of the country and  a large blue area of the country remaining under the influence of a high pressure that will look after itself and stuff everyone else. UKIP will appear under a few small scattered showers but in Boston And Skegness I expect it to *iss it down.
My problem with Millicent is that if I was introduced to him, never having met him before, and told that he was the Prime Minister of our country I would roll around laughing in disbelief. He doesn't look like a PM, in fact he looks more like a TV show muppet. I just couldn't take him seriously. At least Cameroon looks the part. Anyway at the end of the day being a politician is just a job and does anybody really believe someone who claims to be 'working for you'. Working for themselves yes but not us. It's an ego trip with expenses.

Hung parliament, God almighty mess, two weeks of hysterical dealing doomed to failure followed by a short-lived and shambolic attempt at minority Government by the Tories, and another election by Bonfire Night.

Locally, UKIP juuuuuuuuuuuust kept out by the Tories.

As a betting man I checked out the Hung parliament odds a few weeks back, even then it was not worth bothering and they have got worse as its got closer.  Bookies never get it wrong!

I have the dubious honour of Ed Balls as my constituency MP*, I'm saying that now but I guess it might be different this time tomorrow!  I think he will stay but as last time on a further reduced majority.

If UKIP are going to do anything then you would have to say Boston & Skegness should go Purple, that said they are still talking about Farage not winning his which really would be a massive fail.


* I know technically we don't have any MPs currently...

Four teams with no quality and too many greedy players ,  will depend on a last minute own goal if there is to be a winner .

Betfair reckon a 93% chance of a hung parliament... and 25% chance that UKIP steal the Boston/Skegness seat

Farage in goal? - he says that he'll keep more out than the rest but will in fact be no different

My predictions:-

Cons hold Boston.

Cons largest party but just short of a majority.

Cons/Lib coalition.

There were a lot of voters who were undecided and no doubt couldn't trust Labour (& SNP controlling them) with the economy so voted Tory.  It was remarkable how accurate the exit pole was.  Just 22000 voters interviewed.    Politicians failed to keep their promise even on election night as Paddy Ashdon refused to eat his hat!!

Another Tory elected to 'represent' Boston ...... whilst not surprised I have to ask why?

What have the Conservatives ever done for the town or county for that matter?

Poor public services, some of the worst roads in the country, underfunded schools and hospitals. Body and Symonds did not give a damn
about their constituents, is this likely to change?

I suppose the only positive is that the Tory vote stop UKIP ..... :P
