Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is
I'm betting on a higher than usual voter turnout for the locals and euros on the 4th June, if only so people can show their disaffection. All those political pundits who think voters will stay at home wallowing in disillusionment with Parliament will, I think, be proved wrong. Go to any online media with comment facility and you will see the outrage of the man on the Clapham Omnibus - and once he's riled, he's not likely to lie down quietly any time soon. The last turnout for the euro elections was around 37% - I think it will be higher. My last bet, in September 08 on there being a GE this Autumn, still has to bear fruit but it's looking promising. (Please note: I'm not a professional nor the Oracle of Delphi, just following my own instincts).

My thoughts exactly. Over at Polital betting Mike is betting on a very low turn out. In his poll I selected the highest turn out option before reading his analysis. I still think I'm right:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure my poll is too accurate but the high number of UKIP & BNP voters should push Labour into third if not fourth. Happy days are here again. . . .
Yes, and if not happy, they're certainly interesting! GV
