Not bad - but not good.
No Cabinet Ministers lost their seat, BNP didn't win a seat and I overstated the Lib Dem share of the vote. Got the Balls and Bercow races completely wrong.
Pretty good guesses for the number of Cons seats, and the Cons share and Labour share of vote. Also pretty accurate on turnout and that the Greens would win a seat.
So, marginally better than a chicken pecking random guesses on a piece of paper...
One aside. Was dissappointed that Dr Richard Taylor, the local doctor who was the truly independent MP for Wyre Forest, wasn't returned as an MP. He only just lost out to the Conservatives. Whatever your politics he was an intelligent, independent and local voice in a Parliament that is largely media focussed on national issues and with few characterful and individually thinking MPs. He will be missed.
