Tony Blair will win a historic third term for the UK Labour party, but how many of the registered voters will support him? The national voter turnout will likely fall to 51-53%, with Blair securing a majority of between 90-105 parliamentary seats.


UK results (likely) - a Calrissian prediction

I am very curious to hear your own 'best guess' about the coming vote. Guess the turnout and the overall majority for Blair, and any other issue you think important.

Calrissian: none of the above :evil:

the best outcome is a small majority for one of the parties

when a party gets a huge majority they invariably abuse the power, thatcher and blair the prime examples

With as big as majority as he got, Blair was very restrained in what he did - although of course, he is essentially a slightly liberal version of Thatcher.

For sure, I'd sure as hell use all the power I got were I in control - why wouldn't I? Declare a state of emergency, and then you have limitless powers :evil: oh yes, sounds great ()^

Voters in Cheltenham were left stunned last night following a recount of the voting in the General Election which eventually favoured the Labour candidate. In a result that will send shockwaves all the way to Downing Street Labour managed to retain their deposit for the first time in 8 general elections

Result
::lol::
