Carnage in Peterborough

Savage swing towards the Tories in Peterborough... Labour was down by 10%, the Tories picked up about 6%, the Lib Dems got about 3%. If this pattern is repeated across the marginals Labour will not be able to get an overall majority, let alone push through controversial legislation. The Lib Dems have just lost Newbury but held on to Cheadle. This is starting to look pretty mental.. way closer than even my initial prediction. There is some pretty weird stuff going on out there and in particular, the Lib Dem/Tory marginals are very hard to call. Nobody really knows what the hell is going on at this stage... which is one reason for me to stay up, at least.
