Predictions - Outcomes

Now to see how well I predicted the results of the election.

There is a hung parliament, which is kind of interesting. The Conservatives did indeed gain a simple majority. The Liberal Democrats lost seats, which demonstrates my horrible optimism. Bercow did win Buckingham (much to my dismay). The Lib Dems held St. Austell and Newquay (Yay Steven Gilbert!), but the Greens won Brighton (Yay Caroline Lucas!). Neither the BNP nor UKIP gained seats. Everyone, especially the markets and Nick Clegg, was dissapointed. The MRLP were slightly funny, but not hilarious. The swingometer wasn't hugely used, and Dimbleby was very, very tired.

This leads to 7/11 - which I think is a grade C. Oh well.

In other news, I've been introduced to Clan Theory - the theory of how online communities (particularly in games) function and evolve. It's a very interesting topic for me, seeing as I have alot of experience in guilds/clans and how they develop. I think I will be writing on it sometime soon, but I must give credit to the person who introduced me to it (username: Cpt Cave), and the thread that he made.
