I have a bad feeling about this

It's election day. I have always thought that the good people of Britain would do the right thing and re-elect either a Tory majority or Tory/Lib-Dem coalition. I thought that Miliband had shown just too much old socialism to keep the electorate from voting from him.

Now, I'm nervous.

The polls have been stubborn, and if anything the last day or so has shown an uptick for Labour, and given a sunny day maybe it's enough to propel Ed Miliband over the line (with SNP underwriting support). We may be just about to have the most left wing Government since 1974.

That makes me very nervous.

It's the polls versus the betting tonight. Most betting sites have the Tories ahead, but the polling is level pegging.

I wonder what the exit polls will say. Will it be accurate like it has been in every election since 1997, or will it be like 1992 when they got it quite wrong.

Anyway, it's going to be a long night. Join me in an hour and a half for a live blog.

Squiffy.
