It had to happen so it's happening. I'm running a book on the result of Thursday's general election. Here's what you need to do. Send me an email with (1) the winning party, (2) the size of its overall majority, and (3) the number of seats obtained by it.
The winner - of the normblog poll, that is - will be determined in the first instance by correct answers to (1) and (2), or if no one gets (2) right, then by the prediction which is closest. (3) is there only as a tie-breaker should one be needed.
Prize: honour and a £30 book token, or donation of the same amount to a charity of your choice.
Closing date: Wednesday May 4th, midnight (GMT).
Here's a summary of British general election results since 1945. On the basis of recent opinion polls this is the current prediction by Electoral Calculus.
