b437b659782886db3ffbe59b45bed237 --DR's prediction

"Labour will win, with a reduced majority.

Conservatives will do better than the pollsters predict.

The LibDems? will come third, and beat their previous best."

cc067ac37e402bb42739e7cccf4a4c53 --Requiem's prediction

"Labour win, but with a reduced majority. Conservatives do better than expected. Flibble."

d0323a33e4da38d466cef3f95388f3e8 --MoonShadow's prediction

"Labour majority. Unfortunately."

743dd8c1a8fba4804b8c9cea8f876917 --AlexChurchill

"I expect Labour to stay in power but with a significantly reduced majority, with gains by the LibDems?." Since I made my prediction on the main GeneralElection2005 page, and I hadn't changed my expectations... --AC

f058d81b0b60be5578cafdcde80f00ce --StuartFraser, rather depressingly, predicts

Lab 376 Con 190 LG 54 Others 26; made at the height of Labours advantage I predicted essentially no change. Right now I'm more convinced by the BBC exit poll...Lab 330 Con 215 LD 65 Oth 36 --SF

1d4a7dff2a91624ef742ad1ae2c75d5f --ChrisHowlett, probably showing complete political ignorance.

"Much as I'd like to see a hung parliament, I predict that Labour win a 3rd term in office, but with a markedly reduced majority. The remaining seats will be snaffled by both Tory and LibDem; the latter I predict will make surprising gains. Rough majority - 50 seats. Rough split: Labour - 350 seats. Conservative - 175 seats. LibDem - 100 seats." --CH, with an excessively long prediction.

05c8b6d2ea261889c292d15e97c15990 --Edwin, who reckons that no party whose name is 16 bytes of hex will actually win.

"Labour wins again, but not by so many seats.  A moderate gain for Lib Dems, and a slight gain for the Conservatives, but not a big enough gain to stop them from playing Kick Out The Leader." --Edwin

"Labour 373 Tories 188 Lib Dems 62 Others 23 and David Howarth will win Cambridge"

81dabe4a97920fd70cb28948ad522210 --M-A

"Labour win, reduced majority, Lib Dems gains and some Tory gains to make up numbers." Sounds like I called it about right. --M-A

aa3b985dc882c7eb38a872c5c23914b4 --Rachael

"Labour will be re-elected but Lib Dems will win in Cambridge."

AndrewMarr? called Cambridge for the LibDems?... --SF

Cambridge went to the LibDems! By 19152 to 14813, no less, and 44% of the vote to 34%, from a 62% turnout. --AC
