Stingray politics: Anything can happen in the next half hour…

If a week’s a long time in politics – how about ninety minutes?
That’s all it’s taken to turn this entire General Election on its head – boosting the LibDem vote share to 30%
What happens next?
At a guess…
1. Labour plod on.
2. The Tories dog whistle (the Cameron vote share is now down at Howard/IDS levels)
3. Nick and the LibDems come under immense scrutiny (probably on personalities, not policy)
We’re way beyond hung parliament territory now. We’re into WTF territory. The LibDems are now just 14/1 to be the largest party after May 6th.
Perhaps David Cameron should be asked what he’ll do if he holds the balance of power and whether he’d be willing to serve as junior coalition partner in a Clegg government?
