My very quick poll of the voting so far has:
CPGB - 3 votes
Conservatives (R) - 2 votes
Liberal (Y) - 1 vote
Labour - 1 vote
National Liberals - 1 vote
Therefore the CPGB have 37.5% of the votes and are currently on course for an overall majority in the House of Commons.

Additionally:
YES to PR - 6 votes
NO to PR - 3 votes
So it looks like we're on course for a Stalinist/Maoist Britain with a fair voting system at the moment :O

You missed out a Labour vote which I assume would take the CPGB below an absolute majority (I've not done the maths). Things like that are why its often best to let 20 or so votes come in before starting polling - you can get some strange results 
.
The PR count is right though.

But where's the fun in polling punditry if you can't make wild predictions based on a tiny and skewed sample?

Liberals deliberately disenfrachise peoples votes!
You wicked Social Democrat!
((And what exactly is one nation conservatism and official communism?))
Hm, tough choice... As one of those "libertarian socialists" that stayed with the party during the early days, I have sympathies in both factions. I do like that the Orange Liberals want to ban capital punishment and abortion, and closer integration with the unions isn't a bad thing, but the Yellows' willingness to not cut the army is also appealing. I'll have to think this one over pretty hard.
What I like best, actually, is that the manifestos aren't all that different. That shows that, in my opinion, there is plenty of room for both Yellow and Orange Liberals within the party, regardless of who wins. That is just as it should be.

Yellow Liberals, NO to PR.
Let us bask in a centrist-liberal utopian dreamboat and let us oppose those dastardly Unions!

Official Communism is the ideology of the pro-Soviet Communist movement. Used most often for the ideology of pro-Soviet Communists after 1956.
One Nation Consevatism is best described as the most 'moderate' wing of the Tory party. It supports the postwar consensus. You can look it up on Wikipedia if my description was too vague
.
So, basically, the Official Communists want to be puppets of the Soviet Union, and One Nation Conservatists are warmonging Conservative Liberals, essentially?
I'm waiting for a Split in the CPGB, for all we know we may see a rise of Maoism in the 60s. Revisionists against Tankies just may be a possibility.
I'm hoping to see that too!
((And thanks Tommy, now it make more sense.))

True and wrong. The a Conservatives are more of a moderate form of Liberal Conservatives. But as it seems they strictly want status quo and open up to gradual reforms. Conservatives in it's truest form. The National Liberals on the other hand are Conservative Liberals and Liberal Conservatives. The only different between the rightists and the national liberals are thir foreign policies imo. And that the National Liberals are more radical economically. Unfortunately they are socially consevative.
Ah, if it was a party with the social policies of the Liberals and the economic ones of the rightists and the foreign one of the Conservatives
I am neither bearded nor a vegetarian, but I would rather see Labour survive on their own terms than merge with the Liberals. I'm sad to see the scope for reform was so limited in the end, but I guess abortion and capital punishment is a start. Therefore:
Liberal Party (Yellow) (though I personally prefer "Grimondite".)
and
No to PR, by God! because, frankly, this AAR will be a lot less interesting with its absence.

Would someone be so kind as to explain this "bearded vegetarian" stuff to me?
Also, if any Liberals want to persuade me as to which faction to vote for, I'm all ears.
