My very rough calculations have the election at this moment:
Liberal - 32 (net loss of 8 seats)
Conservative - 53 (net gain of 16 seats)
Socialist Labour - 25 (net gain of 4 seats)
Ulster Unionist - 2
I'm sure I've made a mistake somewhere in these figures.
The discrepancy in the net losses...
I wonder what effect the Socialist Labour Party's woes will have on the election. Voters who are undecided may lean towards John Profumo and the Conservatives rather than a nine-year government with a leader-less potential coalition partner.
Profumo and Lyttleton were the runners-up last time the Tories had a leadership contest. My tip is either of those two, unless Eden can pull a rabbit out of a hat.
