Looking forward to it, think I might watch ITV's coverage. They have best polls.

Well if you think Gordon had failed this country, you will think Cameron has destroyed it after a few years of him in power

This seems the general kinda attitude for Conservative support, apart from the core Conservative vote nobody really wants them in power but its more a vote against labour.

Argh, I just took a look at the ukpollingreport website that says that 71.4% of the voters in my constituency (Easington) voted for Labour in 2005. I seriously hope the people around here have learned a thing or two in the last five years although allegedly Labour won a local council by-election by a landslide as recently as February of this year.

So all in all, things are looking bleak and my vote will count for nothing.

Believe it or not, there are millions of CORE Labour voters who are heartily sick of "New" Labour who have turned out to be the same old Labour dressed up in bling, spouting the same drivel they always did. Most voters actually think through the important issues and vote accordingly,not cling on to outdated stereotypes of the parties, and those people will vote this useless government out since the prospect of another five years under the labour jackboot is too terrifying to contemplate.

I live in a predominantly Conservative borough so the Labour lot (if there are any!)will have a hard time here.This election will be decided by the marginals where the votes could swing in any direction. This is the reason why the parties are concentrating their campaigning in those areas.

I lived for many years in Lambeth,Southwark and Hackney but still voted according to my conscience despite them being Labour strongholds. I would never NOT vote. I feel that its hypocritical for people who don't vote to moan about the state of the country. Apathy and inaction achieve absolutely nothing.

I beg to differ, "New Labour" turned out to be a populist attempt to regain power by a few who forgot they had socialist roots and forgot socialist principles. Hence the Parliamentary Labour Party got sick of Tone and his photo shoots with George and wanted rid. Hence Scotland overturned huge majorities in local and MSP elections to return socialists who happen to be SNP candidates and gain power of the Scottish Parliament.

I'm seriously hoping that England returns 'the big C' as the 'wrongness' of having an English Tory Government ruling over an obviously socialist Scotland where they can't get an MP will be brought inro clarity. Hopefully this will spur the case for full independance from England who we seem to have little in common with.

I'm voting Labour. I live in a labour stronghold, so they'll most likely get in (this area) anyway.

It's basically a two horse race. LibDems have no chance of getting a majority, so based on that, I choose Labour over Conservative as the lesser of two evils.

Conservative effed it up royally last time they were in.

Labour have messed up a lot of things in the last 13 years, but I seriously think Tory will mess up worse.

As a Scottish person, I'd be worried about a Conservative win. Their last reign proved that the further north you live, the more adversely affected you will be by Tory policies.

They will never pick up a majority vote in Scotland.

What's best for Simon Cowell is not what's best for me. We're in a slightly different financial situation.

Without question. I'm not a toff, I grew up on an East London council estate and my Dad was a working class cab driver. There's nothing privileged about my upbringing. Yet I have always believed the country is in safer hands under Tory and looking back history proves that.

You say things have got better in your town but thats more to do with local government.

We need a fresh change. So even if you hate the Tories vote holding your noses. We have had 13 years of Labour and people have had enough.

I forgot about the BNP, they have had no coverage this election apart from the Marmite story. Many tipped them to gain a seat this election but I very much doubt that now
