Labour will probably win by a nose but MG Rover just collapsed in the UK so the Tories now have some more ammo to use on Blair. I don't particularly like Blair's "New Labour" but I certainly don't want to see the Tories back in power.

I think it might be a hung parliment. No one has the leadership qualities the people are after.
Howard - dull, boring, gagged by his party from being too extreme
Kennedy - dont make me laugh! might as well elect a bottle of scotch
Blair - lier, fraud, spotlight-grabbing, thick plebian.

I'm thinking a lot of people will feel inclined not to vote Labour after what has happened although I think a few of the things aren't their fault. I personally don't like them - I would like to see a change as a young British person too young to vote. Realistically, I doubt the Lib Dems could drop tuition fees in time for when I go to uni, in a year and a half, but I think they really are a much stronger option in these elections. Frankly, the Conservatives just seemed to have disappeared from sight... You know they are there, but what the hell are they doings and why is Michael Howard so scary? Kennedy doesn't seem much of a leader and so I would go with Labour winning...
Although, I've heard rumours from 'This Week' particularly, that Blair won't be completing his third term, instead allowing Brown to take over somewhere within, which is why the two of them have been campaigning so closely together. Alternatively, the almost definite is that Blair will step down as leader for Brown to take over in the next elections.

I've heard the idea that Blair might step down sometime after the next election and not complete his term too, there was speculation that he wouldn't complete this term though, especially when he had his heart trouble.

I just can't imagine 'Bush and Kennedy' or 'Bush and Howard' because those two combinations are just wrong, lol... the first... you'd have a couple of confused monkeys putting the whole world at danger, the other, you'd have a combination delibrately trying to put the world at danger after Howard had Turned Bush into one of the Living Dead.

It's sad, really, that while the Conservative party has the Labour party in its greatest point of weakness, it's so incoherent, muddled, and poorly lead that it cannot seize upon it.
