Polling Stations open in less than 24 hours.
IMO opinion this is one of the most interesting elections in a long time, particularly under a Westminster system. It's really got everything happening and is going to be extremely interesting to see where things head.
What we've seen:
- Labour and Conservatives are neck to neck
- Cameron's refusal to debate head to head with Ed Miliband
- Lib Dems likely to cop it for their role in the coalition
-The mobilisation of the Scottish Nationalists under Nicola Sturgeon following the #IndyRef and Scottish Labours certain annihilation north of Hadrian's wall after being branded as "Red Tories". Labour's gains from the Conservatives in England are almost cancelled out by their losses to the SNP in Scotland.
- Milibands refusal to enter even an informal coalition with the SNP #becauseunion
- The rising voice of minor parties, despite their limitations by the First Past the Post system. Despite being unlikely to win many seats, the growing voice of Plaid Cymru, the English and Welsh Greens and everyones favourite racists UKIP are showing that people are becoming increasingly dissatisfied in what the major parties are offering.
- The fact that Russell Brand has managed to become one of the major voices and talking points of this election.
- The certainty that we are heading towards a hung parliament.
What I think we can expect: Even with the Lib Dems, DUP and UKIP, the Tories won't be able to form Government and are unlikely to want to work with UKIP anyway. Labour to initially form a minority government without the SNP, which will backfire eventually when the SNP start pressing on the removal of Trident from West Scotland, more powers for the Scottish Parliament and an end to Austerity.
