Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Now, unless I've developed some kind of selective vision disorder the BBC appears to have removed the rather handy poll tracker from their Election 2005 pages. Or at least the link to it is missing. It was there at the weekend. I had been finding useful and made many visits, the last being two or three days ago when I was confronted by the shocking ICM poll which gave Labour a 10 point lead. A cup of hot sweet tea and a lie down in a darkened room was required. That explains why I haven't been back until now.

The election is all but over. The politically battered and bruised Blair will somehow manage to win a third term and the Tories are still pretty much lost in the wilderness. It was always very likely Blair would win, but my hope was that the Tories would make serious inroads into the Labour majority. The signs at the moment suggest whatever the majority is cut by it won't be cut by the amount that either I or the Tories were expecting.
