how can Labour possibly win the next election unless the vote is really split?

I hope the Answers Community is NOT a fair cross section.....I would hope it is merely a small sample.
There are too many participants who don't know their a** from their elbow, who cannot put a cogent thought in a sentence, whose use of expletives, racism, bigotry leads one to wonder how they get out of bed in the morning.

The best prediction following the next general election in UK is for there to be a hung parliament. That is a parliament in which no political party has the majority of seats.
This is just a prediction, because the British electorate are very sophisticated. We'll really just have to wait and see.
I have seen many elections during my 66 years of life in which predictions about the outcome of an election have been proved incorrect. The worst informed press coverage of any election here in UK was the 1945 election which predicted that Winston Churchill and the Tories would be returned as the government. It was a massive landslide for Labour.
Beware of pollsters, they're just a bunch of ignorant pen-pushers with a political agenda and are probably in the pay of this or that party to hype up the voting.
Best advice in the approach to any election is to read all the rags, the flyers and posters, see the blah on TV then make up your own mind.

I get the impression that those answering are mainly below the age of thirty five; the basis for this is the style in which questions and answers are written. The Answers Community probably is a fair cross section and, yes, you are correct Labour will be trashed at the next election if the opinions expressed are any indication.

how meny old aged pensioners come on here
how meny of us are aged between 16 and 45
how meny of us have a disposable income what allows us to buy a PC and get a broadband bill every month

It isn't a fair cross section. Most people on the internet are young. Most of those who would be on Answers, chatting or blogging are young.
These are exactly the people who DON'T vote.
