What are the chances of another election?

That would be best

And as for labour, its kind of a case of better the devil you know...
Yes of course it is, Before Labour won in 1997 Tony Blair initially promised not to raise Income Tax, he then went even further to state "We have no plans to increase taxes at all."

In 2005 the Institute of Fiscal Studies published a report stating that since Labour were elected and up until 2005 they had introduced 157 stealth taxes.

An example of a Stealth Tax would be: when VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, Chancellor Darling added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists. Now that VAT has been increased to 17.5% again, this hidden tax has not been removed - hence recent rises in fuel costs at your local pump.

The term stealth tax has really only been used since Labour were elected in 97.

So you prefer to being blatantly lied to and robbed blind by Labour?

Quite high for an election within the next 18 months, better than 50/50

For an election in the next 2-3 months a little less likely probably about 10- 20% chance, depends on how much Cameron/Clegg are willing to compromise the ideals of their respective parties. Or how much any of the leaders are prepared to go back to the electorate and blame the other leaders for having another election.
