Hopefully at least 500 seats will come through on the night which should be enough to have a projection +/- 5 seats (based on previous elections).Andy JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819413906544791899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-78681071187133288292010-02-05T22:28:15.533+00:002010-02-05T22:28:15.533+00:00Barry - you're a bit sure of yourself on this ...Barry - you're a bit sure of yourself on this point aren't you?<br /><br />Actually Crudas has a very good chance of losing his seat from what I read.<br /><br />I am now very much looking forward to the day when you are proven wrong ... not too long to go now.Bond007https://www.blogger.com/profile/01909446669902844850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-91969598202817114802010-02-05T21:59:12.234+00:002010-02-05T21:59:12.234+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bond007https://www.blogger.com/profile/01909446669902844850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-46306448767889119512010-02-05T19:19:23.329+00:002010-02-05T19:19:23.329+00:00Are you for real?

Also, seeing how there will be a lot of people out for Cruddas, the Tories won't win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-70700129611462318112010-02-05T15:43:15.819+00:002010-02-05T15:43:15.819+00:00"laurie171079", regarding point 3, have ..."laurie171079", regarding point 3, have you ever been to Dagenham? Ever campaigned there? I know the electoral demographics of that seat extremely well, and unlike you I know that there's a very good chance Simon will win there.<br /><br />The Labour vote can be roughly split into five parts:<br /><br />1. The New Labour voters who are going to vote Tory like most who gave Blair a chance.<br />2. The Old Labour voters who will be voting BNP.<br />3. The disaffected Labour voters who will be staying at home.<br />4. The Labour voters who have seen Simon campaign, met him and thought he's a nice guy and will vote for him.<br />5. The loyal Labour voters, who will vote. <br /><br />Add that to the fact there was already a loyal Tory vote, then add the fact Rainham, an ultra-safe Tory area gets added to the seat, and you've got yourself a win for Simon Jones.Working Class Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953872439367858483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-66370118710096964162010-02-05T15:07:14.666+00:002010-02-05T15:07:14.666+00:00...and the difference between Margaret Hodge and a......and the difference between Margaret Hodge and a fascist thug is what exactly?BrianSJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613916574661223679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-83324840060233995492010-02-05T14:59:30.500+00:002010-02-05T14:59:30.500+00:00Lives in "Nitting" Hill eh, well that re...Lives in "Nitting" Hill eh, well that really does make him a man of the people and in touch with his constituents in the East End.<br /><br />Yet another political hoi polloi of the established elite who wants to rule over us.Penfoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946700329323417719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-60651984796517025342010-02-05T14:53:29.432+00:002010-02-05T14:53:29.432+00:00Iain, this is pure fail.

It's Hodge that has been lazy in fighting the BNP, not Cruddas. Get your facts right.<br /><br />2) Evidence?<br /><br />3) Don't be silly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
