Life in a marginal: canvassing and a revised prediction
Labour continue to step up their leaflet game, sending me a personal communication addressed personally to me in person, a variation on the one received by Mrs Tomsk a while back: In addition they've sent me my very own personalised polling day information card: I like the reminder to put an X next to Labour. Also, remember to put some shoes on before leaving the house. Unfortunately for Labour, the Lib Dems have gone one better again by sending a canvasser to Tomsk79 HQ at last! I learnt an interesting piece of information: that John Leech had not voted for the coalition in the first place. Naturally being canvassed affects the delicate calculus at the heart of the Predict-o-Matic 5000 . Its revised and final prediction is therefore as follows: (beep beep boop boop boop etc.) Con: 8% Lab: 45% LD: 37% UKIP: 3% Green: 7% Mysterious independent: 1% (nb: result adds up to 101% in light of the model's continued awesomeness)
