The results to last week's Fun Online Poll were as follows:
Global average temperatures have not changed for 17 years. What's your initial response?
That's because "global warming" was all bunkum anyway - 90%
That's thanks to the fine efforts of world governments to reduce CO2 emissions - 0%
Other, please specify - 10% (12 votes)
Thanks to everybody who took part, it was a good turnout (over 100 votes) but you really are a heartless bunch.
I almost wish that I'd voted for the second option to save them the embarrassment of getting no votes at all.

Just for a bit of light relief and in the context of nothing in particular, who do you think will be the government after the next General Election, due in two years at the latest?

And It Was Crap

I could almost write a post on this, but here's the reason for my Labour prediction:-
There's a lot of people in this country that don't like the Tories. Not quite a majority, but a very significant minority. In the past, these were split across Lab and Lib Dems. Some people, until the last election looked at the Lib Dems as nice, cuddly people, unlike old fashioned working-class people like Prescott.
The coalition has shattered any illusion about that. They aren't the party of rainbow skies and candy floss clouds.
If you're an anti-Tory in a Tory/Lab seat, you might as well vote tactically for Labour.
What I think we'll see at the next election is that the LDs hold many of their seats (as people will continue to vote for them to keep the Tories out), but that in constituencies with a 3 way split, the Lab/Lib split will be significantly reduced, to the point where a lot more marginal seats will tip to Labour.
On top of that, there's the UKIP effect. Even if UKIP only get half of the 16% that they're currently polling, that's probably enough to switch another 30 seats from Con to Lab.
And yes, as I consider electoral reform to be about the most important issue (as FPTP gives us a duopoly of corrupt mediocrities in politics), I'm really going to enjoy the fallout when someone as crap as Ed becomes PM.
Tell you what I'll do - I'll do an analysis based on what I think is going to happen in vote shares of seats.
