If you said the Lib Dems will form the next government a week ago I’d have laughed at you, now I haven’t a clue what’s going to happen!
I just saw a poll on the news that the Lib Dems had 32%, Conservatives 31% and Labour 28%.
I think that would decimate the number of Tory seats, but not Labours seats: I know, least %, but they still get a lot of seats due to their voters being concentrated up North.
My poll this week (18,500+ votes has the Lib Dems on 37%, Conservatives 22% and Labour 20% https://general-election-2010.co.uk/weekly-general-election-poll-results/
My 18 year old son predicted this might happen if Clegg performed well in the live TV debates, but I told him the British people aren’t electing a president and though it could have an effect, not a major one.
A set of polls is not the same as the actual result on election night, but WOW Britain has shifted it’s voting intentions this week and that could give the sort of people who wouldn’t normally vote Lib Dems because they can’t win (AKA wasted vote) the confidence to vote Lib Dems because they could now win.
Over 2 weeks left to go until election day and a lot can happen in politics in two weeks.
