We've not seen anything like it in nearly twenty years.
The outcome of a UK general election has not been so unpredictable since 1992.
Even today, speaking to party members from the local CLP, the message from the doorsteps is that whilst there is a lot of dissatisfaction amongst the voters with Gordon Brown, people are definitely not sure about Cameron either.
There is still comparatively little discussion in the media of the main political issues that really matter to the electorate and an inane obsession with personalities.
We will wait to see how Thursday's final debate goes for the three Leaders.
The huge rise in support for Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems is a totally unexpected development, but the anomalies in our voting system mean that in order for his party to come second, a larger swing from either the Tories or Labour to the Liberal Democrats is required than is needed from Labour to the Tories. This is something that has been grossly overlooked by the main TV news stations and the newspapers.
There are too many people out there who still have to make up their minds.
