What to expect from the 2010 UK General Election

by Shaun Wing

Without stating the obvious, April has sure been a long month with all this election dribble sprouting out at hourly updates with poll after poll, claiming to be more important than the previous stats wafting through the digital airwaves. I feel it is about time ‘Mystic Meg,’ got some air-time and put us out of our misery; maybe horoscope guru Russell Grant could parade in a tiara just to provide some glamour to the proceedings, perhaps on the BBC show ‘Newsnight Election Special;’ anything, except another aloof MP galvanising a message that we’ve all heard before, met with a bemused Paxman glance that shouts out, ‘are you for real?’
