Let's have a fun competition

This is open to anybody. Just post your prediction of the UK election result. I want:

Who you think will win
How many seats will they win by.

By this I mean, HOW MANY MORE SEATS WILL THEY HAVE THAN THE PARTY WHO FINISHED SECOND?

So if the Tories get 300, Labour 250, and the rest 75, then the Tories haven't got a majority, however they won by 50 seats, according to the rules of this competition.

The Prize:

The winner will be able to propose any political idea.

Everybody else who enters will have to post saying why they agree with the idea, no matter how stupid the idea is.

So if I win, I could propose that we should reduce class sizes by getting pupils to sit closer together*. Everybody else would have to say why they agree.

Competition closes at 10PM

* RIP Lord Sutch
