Question Time
Election special.
These election ones are really difficult. So instead of the usual QT tonight its a voting special à la Political betting.
6 Qs. 2 point for each correct answer
1. Who will be London mayor & by what %
2. Will UKIP replace the Greens in the London assembly? What will Benita's % vote be.
3. Will Labour gain 600+ or 700+ Councillors?
4. Of the 11 English cities deciding on having a mayor, how many will say yes.
5. Will the SNP end up running Glasgow council?
6. The Lib dems have 166 councilors in Scotland . All are up for election. How many will they have after the polls close {to within 10}
20 comments:
1. Boris, by 7% over Ken.
2. No, and 1.5%
3. I think just over a 10% gain, so 500-549 additional seats.
4. One.
5. Yes.
6. 90.
1. Ken unfortunately by 1%
2. Replace no make a seat yes, 4%
3. 700+
4. 6
5. Yes
6. 100
From Mark Wadsworth:
1. Boris, 7% in first round 4% after second votes counted.
2. UKIP must get at least one assembly member, and Greens will probably get one as well.
Benita will get about 37. Votes that is, not %.
3. Labour will gain 532 councillors net.
4. Six will say yes. Three will say yes but then deny it afterwards and say they couldn't have consented because they were drunk.
5. SNP will end up running Glasgow council.
6. Lib Dems will have 54 councillors in Wee Bonnie Scotland.
1. Boris. 5%. Ken is untrustworthy but liked by the ethnic groups.
2. Yes. Who? 3%
3. 700+
4. Eight of them
5. Yes, but what do I know? [Don't answer BQ]
6. Not good. Blood/carpet. 80.
Hi all.
1) Boris, by 12%
2) yes. Siobhan's %age = 7;
3) Labour +350 councilors
4) 10 out of the 11.
5) the SNP will take Glasgow.
6) remaining scotch libdems = 30.
Bit extreme already. Only 30 libs in Scotland GSD? An 80% collapse? That would be news
However I think
Boris win by 4%
UKIP will get a seat. Greens also.
Labour to gain 640
8 cities will vote for a Mayor
SNP just miss out on Glasgow + Edinburgh.
Liberals down to 115.
{lib dem voice says there are only 152 libs in Scotland. So they must have lost 14 already.}
1. Boris, but only by 2 or 3%
2. No, UKIP won't replace the Greens, but they'll both destroy the LibDems. Ms Benita will be in the low single digits.
3. No, less than 600+
4. I think 3 or 4
5. No. No overall control.
6. 50
I dunno. All talk here in Ireland is of priestly paedos and corrupt cardinals. Anyway:
1.Boris, 4pct, no collusion, honest.
2. Yes, 16pct (have I misunderstood the qn?)
3. 600+
4. 3 and may they live to rue the day
5. Yes
6. 40 (sic)
1. Boris, 5%
2. Ukip and Green gains, 1%
3. <600
4. 8 will go for it
5. No
6. 80
1. Boris. Despite Ken supporters voting early and often, 5% margin.
2. UKIP won't replace the Greens, but will stick neck out and say they gain a seat. Benita in the realm of statistical error.
3. 600 seat gain.
4. 7 new mayors, but Doncaster to ditch theirs, so net 6.
5. Yes, I reckon the Scots haven't finished kicking Labour, so the SNP will run Glasgow.
6. Yes, I reckon the Scots haven't finished kicking the Lib Dems, so a 50% loss and more talk from an ashen Nick Clegg about muscular liberalism whilst rolling over and letting Cameron tickle his tummy.
Can't believe we're not punting on turnout. Low, I reckon, less than 35%, though higher in London.
6 Qs. 2 point for each correct answer
1. Who will be London mayor & by what %
boris 12
2. Will UKIP replace the Greens in the London assembly?
yes
What will Benita's % vote be.
who
3. Will Labour gain 600+ or 700+ Councillors?
under 600

8

Evening poll pickers.
1) Bozza, 53 - 47 sounds reasonable. Geez, if Ken wins then fuck 'em.
2) No idea about UKIP and Benita about 3% max. Have you heard Sir Gussy Donnell's arse wibble - 'i'll consider being the Guv'nor of Bank o'Blighty' - oh, pardon my language, but do fuck right off. Cock.
3) Yes but 600 high end - punting for 450.
4) Quite a few - 6 or so.
5) 'running Glasgow council' - it's an oxymoron - trying to head off a Jeremy Kyle booze fuelled war whilst raping kids and snorting cocaine off their dead cadavas seems like hard work. Err...no, think Labour might hold.
6) 108.
1. Boris beats Ken by more than 5%
2. UKIP don't come anywhere. Greens hold on the back of switched Ken voting.
Benita - 2.5% {amazing really. The entire Green movement and Liberals won't manage much more. Miliband should use her as an MP]
3.Labour gains just under 500.
4.7 cities end up with mayors
5.SNP don't take Glasgow.
6. Liberal Democrats left with around 75. Quite depressing really.
1) Boris by 3%
2) No. Who? and because of who? 2%
3) No. Neither maybe 300, UKIP will gain instead (Wishful thinking)
4) Austerity bites :) 3 or 4
5) No idea - Yes as a guess
6) 66
My favourite Question was going to be "Do Lab, Lib, Con take a hammering today in favour of UKIP?"
1. London Mayor & %
Boris by 12%
2. UKIP replace the Greens? Benita?
UKIP will gain but Greens take disaffected Labour and stay ahead. Benita who?
3. Labour gain 600+ or 700+?
Neither - Labour up 240
4. 11 English cities mayor?
Numero 3
5. SNP to run Glasgow?
Yes
6. Lib Dims have 166 councilors in Scotland . How many left?
110
1.Boris by 8% (cos no-one else so far has picked this number)
2. UKIP will replace Greens. No-idea who she/he is but guess % as 9%.
3. <600 (hopefully)
4. 8
5. Yes
6. 120
Oh shit, I posted from work but it won't let me log on so I posted as Anon but signed off as me, it did show up in the comments though*. IIRC, my predictions were:
1. Boris by 7% in first round and 4% in run-off round.
2. UKIP have to get at least one Assembly seat and Greens will also get one. Benita will get 37. Votes that is, not %.
3. Labour will gain 554 councillors.
4. Six will vote yes and four will say yes, but then deny it afterwards on the basis they were drunk and incapable of consenting.
5. Yes.
6. Lib Dems will retain 54 councillors in Wee Bonnie Scotland.
* This is why I usually don't comment here in the day time, I still read all your posts.

UKIP gain nothing
Who - 1%
Labour to make back all their loses from the Brown years - 600+
