Well the day of judgement is here. The polls are open and the masses are thronging to vote. Powering their way through the heavy rain to do so.
Labour started out as quite a clear favourite to win this, but to everyones recent shock horror, the latest info is that the Libdems are closing in on them. I myself cant comprehend why that would be, but then I guess it was always a Libdems stronghold...losing the void election by just 103 votes.
So initially it looked like a Labour cakewalk but it now appears closer than anticipated.
The Conservatives are doing just a modest campaign. As mentioned on Newsnight last night their leaflets have been cheaply produced and so forth, so although they deny it, they really are not putting in much of a real effort on this one.
UKIP on the other hand are spending big bucks. They seem to have loads of money, with ads on massive billboards and whathaveyou.. It was revealed last night on Newsnight where the money is coming from.
Its coming from their new benefactor Stuart Wheeler, a millionaire extraordinaire with very deep pockets, who jumped from the Tory ship at the last election...you might remember the headlines. Yes he funded the Tories for years with cash aplenty...but now that money supports UKIP. Fascinating. Currently our Forumite Nigel Farage is up there campaigning...he was briefly on Newsnight last night.
