Barring a Devon Loch, David Cameron will be re-elected...

Wondering how the Brits will decide their national election tomorrow (Thursday)? Check out this prediction on the goings-on across the pond, it's bloody brilliant....the election is as long as it is broad, but unless he pulls a Devon Loch, it will be Cameron by a nose...if not, he might just be the next Lord Lucan....

He does not even have SNP on the list of parties, or he has it under 'other' at 6%. Additionally, the Labour party may have a smaller % but due to how the UK political system works, they could get more seats (or even a more workable coalition with the SNP )

...and yes you are right, it is possible Labour could have a smaller % but still get more seats....kind of like Bush in 2000!
