The result of the general election is in doubt. Despite the poor showing for Labour post budget, the Tories are not, as yet, popular with the electorate, whilst the Liberal Dozycrats have stalled.
I think it has a lot to do with the populations' disenchantment with the major political parties over the sleaze issue. In local government elections the Green Party has done well, UKIP keeps snapping at the heels of all pro- EU candidates and the BNP will cash in on the understandable disenchantment of the poor white working class.
The key to the result of the general election will be the differential loss of votes by the three major parties to the minor parties. I haven't seen any research on this, particularly in marginal seats, but there will be some surprising results, particularly in constituencies where UKIP, the Green Party and the BNP are well-organised and/or have a history of doing well in local elections.
All to play for in the few weeks before the general election.
