Just back from door knocking in the wind and rain.

Best part was stopping for a drink in the Globe afterwards. I had to have coffee as I was driving back but I'm pleased to report that the Globe's special beer this week is Rebecca Riots - so guess what the others had? We then had a chat about the times that produced the Rebecca Riots (or Rebeca Riots depending on your choice of spelling) and the times we have now with food banks, low pay and no pay work, insecurity, homelessness etc etc.

I'm taking that special beer as a good omen by the way.

I was just thinking that if three-way partnerships were legal, why not four-, five- six-way. If there were loopholes - and I would expect the tax avoidance experts to find some - then I'd be surprised if they didn't increase exponentially with the number of partners involved.

Yes, David, I KNOW. Which is why I'm voting Labour.

If the Tories are sending these out to all registered voters in all marginal constituencies, I wonder what it's costing them?
The registered electorate in Brecon and Radnor is more than 50,000.

Thurrock, currently held by the odious Tory Jackie Doyle-Price with a majority of just 92, has 77,000.

If they're doing this in all marginals, that's costing a serious amount of money. If they're doing it
everywhere, it's utter desperation.
They will be. Do not underestimate the desperation of people who haven't fulfilled the wishes of their backers.

Prof Scully has now crunched his numbers on that new Welsh poll.
He emphasises these are not predictions, but 'seat projections I get from applying these formulae to the polling numbers'.

''So, first, the standard voting intention question. Here are the UNS seat projection numbers:

Labour: 28 seats (holding all 26 from 2010, and gaining Cardiff Central and Cardiff North)

Conservatives: 8 seats (losing Cardiff North to Labour, but gaining Brecon & Radnor from the Liberal Democrats)

Plaid Cymru: 3 seats (holding the 3 seats won in 2010)

Liberal Democrats: 1 seat (holding Ceredigion, but losing both Cardiff Central and Brecon & Radnor)


Ratio Swing projections:

Labour: 28 seats (holding all 26 from 2010, and gaining Cardiff Central and Cardiff North)

Conservatives: 8 seats (losing Cardiff North to Labour, but gaining Brecon & Radnor from the Liberal Democrats)
Plaid Cymru: 4 seats (holding the 3 seats won in 2010 and gaining Ceredigion from the Liberal Democrats)
Liberal Democrats: 0 seats


With constituency-specific question, Scully says:

''For Uniform National Swing the projected seat results are identical to that for the generic question, with the two Cardiff seats plus Brecon & Radnor being the only seats to change hands. But when we use Ratio Swing, we get a slightly different outcome:

Labour: 27 seats (gaining Cardiff Central and Cardiff North, but losing Ynys Mon)

Conservatives: 8 seats (losing Cardiff North to Labour, but gaining Brecon & Radnor from the Liberal Democrats)

Plaid Cymru: 5 seats (holding the 3 seats won in 2010, and gaining Ceredigion from the Liberal Democrats and Ynys Mon from Labour)

Liberal Democrats: 0 seats

We and the constituency next door are down as 'too close to call' letsskip - and that's how it feels. One very pleasant woman I was talking to this morning hadn't realised she was living in a marginal. She has now changed her voting intention from Green to Labour as she likes Paul Miller, our candidate, and hadn't realised he actually had a chance of winning.

Editing to add: Her priority is that we don't have another 5 years of Crabb and Cameron. (They sound like an unpleasant brand of soap, don't they?).

That's very heartening to hear Rebecca, and it plays to my gut instinct too. In an election like this, so tight, the national polls count for nothing, a poll of 1000 people for instance, how many in your constituency would have been contacted? People like you have more of a feeling of what's happening on the ground, that's why I am a tad sceptical about the Vale as well, huge effort on the ground going on there.

None whatsoever yahyah, to be truthful it feels very quiet here election wise, there are a few Plaid banners but on the houses where they always are, every election. The Plaid candidate seems a bit of a tool, the usual Green/SNP/Plaid attack from the "left" on Labour. Canvassers are short on the ground too, though I have been in work a lot so I may have missed them, but hardly any bumpf has landed on the doormat, mind the Labour banner may have a bearing on that?

But to go back, it is very quiet here, hardly being a marginal has a lot to do with that admittedly.

Afterevething, all.

Natalie Bennett can be very silly at times. However much some people might like three-in-a-bed, we have these funny things called laws for a reason. She's not very good at thinking things through, is she?
If she attempted to legislate for this, every single piece of legislation pertaining to marriage, children, inheritance, pensions, social security, and various other bits and bobs would have to be repealed and/or amended.


Whatever.

Those of you who Tweet may like to know that there is another Twitterstorm tonight, the last from Jon and Gail before the election.
This time, the hashtag is #VoteCameronOut
I realise that some people think this is a bit silly, and I'm aware it's not likely to change anyone's voting intentions - but the #CameronMustGo thing really really annoyed him.

On the basis that anything that causes even a minor annoyance to Cameron is something that I have to do as a matter of principle, I will be being a Twit from 18.00hrs and hope some of you will join in.

Good to see you, Ernst, however briefly - hope you're OK and sending a hug.

I completely agree- why the Guardian feels the need to promote the SNP is beyond me.

I do not give a toss about the SNP, can't vote for them, genuinely despise everything the SNP represents, and they aren't on 90% of the ballot papers.

Post election the SNP can either support a Labour government or vote against it, I don't care. But if she stops effective government or creates a Tory one, supporters will be pretty angry.

I know exactly what you mean.

I will refuse to be miserable. I have every intention of doing what I can to get Matthew the best vote share possible.
He could do it - it'd take a minor miracle, but it's not impossible.

It ain't over till the returning officer declares the winner.

Even if our boy loses, if we get a better share of the vote than the 10% Labour got here last time, we will have done well.

And if we have a Labour government on Friday, I won't be bothered all that much.

I said once I judge this as a battle between and good and bad and that hasn't changed. Labour for all it's faults is better than any alternative out there for me. Of course I want them to be more radical, and I believe Ed will be, but unlike others they have a chance of power so they feet always have to be on the ground.
