So, the GE Predictor competition.
About an hour ago the BBC was calling the Lab majority at 176. If that is the final figure, nobody called exactly that figure, but no less than three Lifers called 175 (and may still turn out to be bang on). Congratulations @To1SCP, @Friend Or Defoe, @Chris_from_Sidcup
Even more impressive, the average figure of all the 113 Lifers who predicted a Lab victory was 169, with the median figure 173. Compare that with some of the exotic and much hyped MRP polls (e.g.the Economist's last week which predicted a Lab majority of 280. FFS...)

I still wouldn't have won, but I was guessing how many seats above the 325 required!
