The problem was most of them were distant seconds - most of the close seconds were Labour. The key difference now is that I suspect we are a lot closer in a lot more seats than at that time. This is the tories key problem - not only do they need to win a lot of seats - they aren't terribly close to winning a lot of those that they do need.

This is the tories key problem – not only do they need to win a lot of seats – they aren’t terribly close to winning a lot of those that they do need.

This illustrates how on the ball Cameron has been. You need Liberal votes to win a majority in a GE. What constitutes a three way marginal?
