What's the most important goal for the 2010 election? - see PollWatch

What's the most important goal for the 2010 election?

Answer = making sure that the Tories don't have an absolute majority.

Why? - because the mess we are in started with Thatcher and has been carried on by the Blair-Brown alternative Tory Party - 13 years wasted in which they could have created real democracy and fair voting and a sound economy.

PollWatch aggregates the polls. 

This is what their charts look like as at 24th Jan 2010

Over half of recent polls put election into
the Hung Parliament Zone

*Note: ‘Date’ is the end date of the fieldwork for the poll; ‘predicted seats’ assumes a uniform swing across the country - we know this is not a certain calculation but it is the method most commonly used. We have used the UK Polling Report swing indicator to calculate this (there is a wealth of interesting material on their website); the Charter 2010 Hung Parliament Index uses the following scale: If, using the swing indicator, the poll shows a Conservative or Labour overall majority of 25+ that = unlikely; 15-25 = possible; 5-15 = likely; under 5 = probable.

Do whatever you can to persuade people to ensure a hung parliament. 

Why?

So that these wretched politicians start talking to each other, start focusing on the issues that the population want e.g. protenction from rapacious bankers and their ilk and start making the kind of changes that will give us a modern, fully-democratic 21stC government and political system.
