Voting intentions and latest information

[Bellabeck]

I am struggling to find information on any website as to the latest predictions for our constituency - Dulwich & West Norwood. I am keen to see if any tactical voting will be likely to have any effect - or is the seat a safe labour one?

[RosieH]

Don't vote - it only encourages them!

(sorry Sean, kidding)

[ruffers]

Is this post part of the forum libdem brainwashing conspiracy? ;-)

[Jah Lush]

Yawn.

[Bellabeck]

Hmm. I have never ventured onto forums before and I think the (cynical) responses my initial post has garnered suggests I won't be posting frequently in the future either. I have no party allegiances whatsoever; I am simply a floating voter looking to understand what is happening here in my locality...

[RosieH]

Bellabeck, don't be disheartened, but do have a look around the forum and you'll see plenty of election threads, including one on tactical voting.

We're lovely really. Well, some of us are. Cynical, but lovely.

You could try checking the odds at Psddy Power.

I wouldn't take it personally as Rosie says - more a reflection of a series of (pretty obvious IMHO) posters who have joined up recently to post provocative/politically motivated stuff. I would guess most people are getting pretty bored of it (I know I am) hence the less than enthusiastic response to even serious discussions...

The voter power website gives the impression that Dulwich/Norwood is a pretty safe seat for the incumbent, but others (inc the Observer) reckon not.

"But there will still be plenty of interesting things happening in individual constituencies. For example: Tessa Jowell, Liam Byrne and Ben Bradshaw are arguably a little bit vulnerable in, respectively, Dulwich and West Norwood; Birmingham Hodge Hill; and Exeter."

Sean's post has obviously self detonated.

Sean never posted on this thread in the first place

I think rosie was referring to my annoyance about yet another election thread expressed elsewhere (correct me if I'm wrong rosie)

[????]

...I think it may possibly be reference to your more positive cyncism to politics rather than the more negative cyncism of some of us, but who knows, Rosie's post remains an enigma

[Narnia]

Narnia apologises as I assumed that was what Rosie was referring to.

People are more likely to respond (read/write) to a fresh Election thread than what appears to be a bloated one running for say a week - imo stories/discussion change rapidly enough approaching general election to warrant new Election threads.

Go and start another one then why dontcha and watch the stampede of enthusiam.

Yes. Enigmatic. Good.

But mostly Quids has it - Sean (and indeed Huge Nought)'s more grown up attitude to voting than my rather childish jest about not encouraging them.

On the subject of which*, do you feel run down when you get hit by a truck?

*childish that is, not not encouraging them
