Given that I am likely to be in and out of hospital in the next week or so, I think I will dip out of the prediction competition for this month. It will also of course save me the embarassment of trying to predict Park Farm North.

Interesting to see that almost everybody was very close in their predictions for yesterday
Even more interesting is that most people predicted the wrong winner despite ditto

How can you predict that x will change her mind on the way into the polling booth or y won't vote because he was suddenly taken poorly? In an election down to recount territory (maybe it was even closer before the recount?)there is no way anyone can call it either way. In the end it was called by bjornhattan 's whiskers - he was right in that, but just lucky as to which way it fell. |
