A fascinating election
The UK has never faced such a fascinating General Election than the forthcoming one on 6 May. The list of uncertain factors is long. For example the effects of:
- the size of the turnout
- tactical voting
- the influence of Scottish and Welsh nationalists
- achieving or preventing a hung parliament on the Liberal Democrat vote
- social networking, email and text-messaging
- the Brown-Cameron-Clegg TV debates, and
- events (as Harold MacMillan said)
