OK, so it has to be obvious now that an election is in the off, probably earlier than 5th May (last possible date).
So snap poll, who would you vote for tomorrow?
Is that date right? I thought the smart money was on 6th May (to coincide with council elections.) Is this correct?:

Since that poll was taken in November it'll be ointeresting to see if there has been any swing between then and now.
I can't vote for Duurrzzett's answer to Wolfie Smith on this one. :(
EDIT: Though, seriously, as this is a General Election and this seat is marginal .... and I've met Jim Knight a few times, I will vote for it to remain Labour. I have voted far left once? or twice?, but it must have been in local elections. When I voted in the earlier Arrse poll, I'd forgotten how long it has been (5 years!) since we had a General Election. There is no way that I could live with the thought that I'd helped the Tories.
I will wait till as close as possible to the actual day because my vote will go to the candidate who has the best chance of unseating Goron in Kirkaldy, the choice is likely to be between the Limpdems and the SNP
I don't think the 5th May date is right. I think the latest date is early June. I would suggest that we will have the same answer as last time, which was, for the users of this site
