A little prediction

'Labour will win, with a decreased majority, but a significant majority all the same. This will be shortly followed by tax rises.'

Cynical I know, but as I've always said the worst thing about being a cynic is being right almost all of the time. This isn't the result I want, btw, but the problem with democracy is everyone else* getting to vote.

*Everyone else excludes those I respect, i.e. my friends.

But merging the Scottish seats, did make Gordon Brown's Labour seat, much safer by increasing his majority there.

Did they make new seats elsewhere to keep the numbers the same, or are there less seats now?

there are 13 fewer seats now, I think.
