Please post entries in the comments section below BEFORE 1159 PM on Tuesday evening. Please do not use this comments section for anything other than entries – a separate thread for comment on the competition will be opened. Any comments left in the entry thread will be deleted.

Please ensure that when you file your entry you put your correct email address in the box. My rulings, however unreasonable, on all matters relating to this competition are final. I am right even when I am wrong.

1. What will be the size of the Labour majority/minority? (A total of 50 points are available for a correct entry reducing by one point each seat that you are out. This can go to a minus score.)

2. How many seats will the Lib Dems win? (A total of 20 points are available for a correct entry reducing by one point each seat that you are out. This can go to a minus score.)

3. What will Labour’s share of the GB popular vote be? (A total of 20 points are available for a correct entry reducing by one point each 0.25% that you are out. This can go to a minus score.)

4. What will the Conservative’s share of the GB popular vote be? (A total of 20 points are available for a correct entry reducing by one point each 0.25% that you are out. This can go to a minus score.)

5. What will the Liberal Democrat’s share of the GB popular vote be? (A total of 20 points are available for a correct entry reducing by one point each 0.25% that you are out. This can go to a minus score.)

6 How many of the final polls by YouGov, ICM, Communicate Research, NOP, Populus, Mori and British Polling Index will overstate Labour’s margin over the second party? (A total of 21 points are available for a correct entry reducing by three points each that your prediction is out.)

7. What will Politicalbetting regular, Nick Palmer’s vote share be in Broxtowe compared with the 48.6% 2001? (A total of 7 points are available reducing by one point for each full percentage point that you are out.)

8. What will Politicalbetting regular, Richard Willis’s vote share be in Sutton & Cheam compared with the Conservative performance of 38% in 2001? (A total of 7 points are available reducing by one point for each full percentage point that you are out.)

9. What will Politicalbetting regular, Bullseye’s (Charles Anglin) vote share be in Vauxhall compared with the Lib Dem performance of 20.1% in 2001? (A total of 7 points are available reducing by one point for each full percentage point that you are out.)

UPDATE: I got the wrong figure for the LDs for 2001 in question 9. This has now been changed and unless I hear orherwise I will adjust entries made before posting 59.

Best of luck and thanks to BinaryBet.com for providing the prize.
