That or I am just a moaner. Peter. Anthony,

I’ve got that same problem again with the link to the full results, could it because I use a Mac as others don’t seem to have an issue with it. That or I am just a moaner.

Peter.

But the vote figures won't be quite as predicted. For one simple reason. Outside of Scotland I just don't see the minor parties achieving any significant vote if as is likely they lack candidates other than from UKIP.And UKIP are in decline. I don't agree that Mr Brown should stay-he is so out of his depth. Instead I would like to see a caretaker government under Jack Straw to see us through until next spring and then an election.

Why does the 12% swing in marginals and a predicted Tory landslide of 150+ seats still surprise everyone ? It's going to happen and i have been predicting this since August 2007 !
