2. The polls usually tend to overestimate Labour. There's no way they'll get 40% next Thursday.

3. Howard will completely own Blair and Kennedy tomorrow night. I'm not too concerned by this.
by TrueBlue55
4. Oh, and for the record, these figures would give Labour 407 seats, to the Tories' 159, and the Lib Dems' 53 - a Labour majority of 168.

5. Wait, isn't this supposed to be a three-way debate? Howard isn't having any impact at all.

1. Looks as if Gordon will be taking the Labour reigns sooner than we thought....
by AdrianB
2. Finally, it looks as if the two-party system is going to be purged.
by LibDemInLondon
3. I would say that David Davis is now destined to be the next Tory leader....but he's in a marginal constituency....
