I would be amazed if they didn't gain between 500 and 1000 seats out of the 4700 up for grabs, due to the Government's unpopularity, reversing the Conservative gains of 2008 (which was the last time these seats were contested).
I wonder if the results will be worse than last year (different seats), when the Tories gained 86 seats, Labour 857, and the LibDems lost 748 out of the nearly 9000 seats up for election.
