Euro Elections Results exectations

PoliticsHome quizzed 100 top political brains for their best/worst predictions for the number of seats each party would win in the EU elections. Their ranges were:

Conservatives: 26 to 30
UKIP: 12 to 16
Liberal Democrats: 10 to 14
Labour: 10 to 14
Greens: 2 to 6
BNP: 1 to 2

I believe the results predictions for Labour and the LibDems are too generous and don't take into account the public's anger at being denied a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The media and politicians either discount this notion or they're unaware of the strength of feeling it engenders in the country.

I think you're completely right and that LibDems will certainly suffer because of Clegg's ambivalent/treasonous (take your choice) response to an E Referendum.

Perhaps with UKIP's stunning wins, the LibDems and Conservatives will harden their stance on the EU and the Lisbon Treaty.
