Not quite, since him not winning his own seat at all is a very real possibility while Pelosi even coming close to losing is not.

Even if it’s 22 seats, that’s still nothing. That’s like 15 seats in the US House. Sure it’s a big breakthough compared to the zero they had after the last election but......

This makes me wish that the instant runoff vote referendum had passed. If all UKIP does is take enough votes from the Tories that Labour wins, that will suck.

UKIP wants to reform the electoral system in the UK to replace first past the post which is what they have and what we have here in the US.

If Labour wins it will be the fault of the fake Conservatives of David Cameron who doubled the country’s national debt, delayed talking about the EU until UKIP won the EU Parliament election last year and gave the final blessing to gay marriage etc. etc. etc.

Cameron’s party is rightly called by some of its detractors the “Lavatories”.

Unlikely. To win an overall majority (which is the clear thing needed in a UK election) the Labour party will need to win an additional 69 seats, AND retain all the ones they currently have, which is looking very unlikely. It is common knowledge they will get trounced in Scotland, and I think its possible they may lose one or two to UKIP in north east England. That means winning an additional 85-90 seats somewhere else. Not impossible, but a very big ask.

The odds are we are going to have a "hung" parliament on May 8th (one where no party, or combination of party's, has an overal majority). That means a weak minority government reliant on constant wheeler-dealing behind the scenes to get any meaningful legislation passed, OR - another election.
