There's not a cat in hells chance of the Lib Dems holding the balance of power - it's just not going to happen under the current electoral system.
Will independents and fringe parties get more seats? Undoutedly.
Will the Conservatives form the next government - that's still in the air. And before you jump on me for saying that, I think that the Conservatives are in a position closer to that of the Michael Foot/Tony Benn Labour party of the 1980's - people hate the incumbents, but don't think that the opposition could actually solve the problems.
We have one year for someone to look competent, and I think it's going to be one of the most important years for decades.
