Probably my favourite name for a politician ever.   :)
Just watching Newsnight now and they've pictures of him being booed and heckled at a hustings.  Not looking good for him.

The Tories are targetting his 'safe' seat.  So far he'd been assumed as a shoo-in and potential future leader, so he's been touring the country.  Suddenly he's realised he's got a fight on his hand.  The Tories call it the castration strategy.

Can the Liberals actually win?  I mean, they can certainly hang parliament, increase their support and probably form a coalition with somebody, but actually win a plurality and form a government?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

They need about 36-7% I think to win a plurality (assuming that largely comes from the Tories and that Labour are, as they currently are in the polls, on the low 20s).  That would be a 14% swing from the last election which would be truly extraordinary.  But right now we've had a swing of 7-10%.

To win an outright majority they'd need about 40% I think.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They can win if they hang the parliament and force the electoral reform.

If only we could hang the Congress here in US.  :(
