  Well it is definitely the oddest election ever. It looked a few days ago that the Conservatives were starting to put real daylight between themselves and the others after Cameron had a good final debate, but all seems to have settled back into the status quo there Howard.
  
  With Gordon Brown shooting himself in the foot with 'bigotgate' and then being through the media mill, he seems to be still in there fighting quite well. How the Tories havent run away with it by now is amazingly baffling. And yes the buzzword this time around is 'change'..but no, the public out there are not opting massively for Conservative change, but grasping onto Nick Clegg...who seems to be mobbed everywhere he goes...as the man who will give them a change in the voting system, so that a wider group of parties can get a voice in politics...people like UKIP and the Greens and so on.
  
  So its still all to play for with the polls indicating hung parliament. Somebody will need to strike a decisive blow for victory in the next few days or it will remain roughly as is pollwise.
  
  Dover itself is very hard to call. Very energetic campaigns being run by all the main players. Projections initially thought it would be a Conservative gain, then projections changed more recently to a Labour hold...so its a very close run thing here in Dover...with UKIP and the LIbDems having a big input too, but who will the smaller parties take those precious votes from?
