Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
12 million voters undecided - YouGov poll
Latest YouGov poll on voting intentions (3/4 March) puts Conservatives 38%, Labour 32, Lib Dems 17, others 13.
Conservatives need a 10% swing for a majority government otherwise the country faces the prospect of a hung parliament.
This article in The Guardian says 28% of respondents are still not sure which party will get their vote at the election.
At a recent night out, from four people sitting around the table only one knew who he was voting for.
Are you undecided?

With FPTP, we tend to get a pronounced pendulum effect, with one party correcting the expensive excesses of the previous party.
This is unnecessarily cynical of you Clive. With only a few conspicuous exceptions every politician ever elected in the UK has the citizens interests at heart and is highly competent. To suggest otherwise would throw the entire system into doubt.

True and yes the rail example is a good one, with the Tories pushing this through as they knew they were about to be kicked out of power in the 97 elections; business opportunites for their buddies.
I'm for Proportional Representation. Has certainly given the Greens in NZ some power they'd never have had otherwise.

I think Proportional Representation would probably be pretty high on the agenda if a hung parliament is achieved, precisely for the arguments already stated about the pendulum effect that FPTP has consistently given for most general elections since 1979.
Does anybody have any 1st hand experience of a council where there is no overall control, and what the effect was/has been?
