What do you reckon? Will it make it into the top 20? And even if it does, will it make any difference?

Tyler spent a chunk of today with people from various centre right think tanks. And despite the polls, the almost unanimous view among participants was a 20-40 seat Tory majority. 

TV debate or not, is anything really going to change over the next 3 weeks?

PS How many did Tyler watch? Just 6.

PPS Sorry, listening to the Great Orange Hain on Newsnight appealing to "decent progressive voters, be they Liberal Democrats, Greens, or Great Crested Wibblies" to vote Labour in order to keep out the "savage Tories", has made me vomit all over the keyboard. So this blog may be indecipherable.
