Polish Presidential election, I'm interested in, though these ridiculous "Christian" state politicians will win again.

Don't care, I've already voted by postal vote.

But if you are interested, a company that correctly predicted the last US presidential election in every single state has made a prediction for our election.

Notice how most of the counties of Scotland are voting for the right party.

The SNP proves that Scotland should be banned from voting in general elections.

Plaid are alright, but Labour and UKIP are more popular than them.

Conservatives are the most popular all over the South.

Labour will win Wales and the Midlands but nothing much else.

UKIP will take over much of the North.

Do you understand the concept of democracy?

Plaid are alright

No, Plaid are just silly, but not many people in Wales vote for them, so I don't really care what they have to say.

but Labour and UKIP are more popular than them[Plaid Cymru]

Well, UKIP and PC will probably win a similar number of seats. But yes, Labour are going to win more seats than PC, that is pointing out the obvious.


Conservatives are the most popular all over the South.

Although, yes they will hold a lot of the South of England. However, the Lib Dems should be able to hold onto some seats in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset and Labour should be strong in the cities. For example, Southampton has a strong Labour presence.


Labour will win Wales and the Midlands but nothing much else.

They'll win about half of London and the Northern Cities as well, along with various other cities.

UKIP will take over much of the North.

No, UKIP will only get a few seats (most likely in south east England) because of first past the post.

I doubt it. Labour haven't spiked in specific constituencies and their support is spread out.

Don't be so sure... UKIP's polls were a lot less than they are now before the European elections, and the vast majority of their support is in the north, not the south. The south is mostly Conservative.

UKIP might get 3 seats. They'll be overjoyed with two South Thanet and Mark Reckless' seat. I predict they will get one.

C'mon. Mark Reckless, Douglas Carswell and Nigel Farage are safe seats. We can bet on David Coburn, Suzanne Evans and Nutall getting their seats. I am betting on a minimum of four and a maximum of eleven seats for UKIP.

Liberal Democrats are getting the necessary spikes. Maybe they might even take the Midlands from Labour?
Doubt it though... I'll give them an minimum of sixteen seats and a maximum of twenty seven seats.

Conservatives I am giving anywhere between two hundred and three hundred.

Labour between one hundred and fifty and three hundred and fifty.

DUP will win between seven and ten seats.

Sinn Fein will win between three and six seats.

Plaid will win no more than four or less than two.

SNP will get about sixty seats.

...and each of these parties might be able to get one each: SDLP, Greens, Alliance, Respect.

Lol. They're only standing candidates in 59 constituencies.

Sinn Fein will win between three and six seats.

Well, they might win in a few constituencies but they'll end with 0 seats because they refuse to take their seats.

There not polling anywhere near enough in the constituencies for that number of seats. Check out Lord Ascrofts polling. Carswell might have a better chance than Reckless though as he is more popular an MP in his constituency.

David Coburn, Suzanne Evans and Nutall ... Not happening.

I'll take your bet though - I say 1 or 2 anything over that and you win.

Hmm, UKIP unlikely, they'll win 3 seats max. However, The SNP are unlikely to be part of any deal after the election, since both Labour and the Tories keep saying they'll refuse to do a deal with the SNP. the Lib Dems will work with either, but are unlikely to win enough seats to make up the last few seats needed for a majority. It's the Northern Irish parties that might have to help form a government, and for all the anti-SNP media hype, the DUP and Sien Fien are not both worrying propositions as a 3rd party in a post-election deal. Sien Fien don't take their seats, so there's no need to bother with them, but the DUP are not a nice bunch of people, but would do better with some voters than the SNP.

Also, Genghis, since when did a democracy have to be a republic?

Unlikely in the near future. First, that would require a referendum and a referendum would require the support of the majority in the House of Commons. I can't see that happening after this election.

Speaking as possibly the only Northern Irish person on Warlight, and considering that Norn Iron is completely ignored in the whole election debate, I'll give a quick run-down of our parties and their chances

8-10 Seats; The DUP; think UKIP except without a charismatic leader or an attempt not to sound racist. (similar to the BNP)
5-6; Sinn Fein; claim to be radical left but will say/do anything for a vote, and don't take their seats anyway.
2-3; SDLP; Labour economically, but very conservative socially.
1-3; UUP; the old-fashioned Tory right
0-1; Alliance, basically the Lib Dem's, and the only relevant, non-sectarian party in the North.
(My party, but I'd be Labour in England)

I'd rather see UKIP in coalition with the Tory's, they're much less bad than the DUP.

UKIP will get 2-3, Reckless is in a marginal seat, don't read too much into by-election results they have low turnouts and usually go against the gov.

Based purely on vote%, UKIP should do better than that and Labour should get at least 20 seats in Scotland, but FPTP is stacked heavily against them.

PRSTV is a much better idea
