Labour who look like they will only get the votes of Gordon Brown, his cabinet and their wives will still end up as the largest party in the House of Commons.

Based on these poll numbers

Labour 28%
Conservatives 31%
Liberal Democrats 32%

this result would give the Conservatives about 224 seats in the Commons, an increase of 26.

The Liberal Democrats would gain 60 seat but would still only have 122 seats and would therefore remain a minority party.

Labour, despite having the lowest share of the vote could still be the largest Parliamentary party with around 273 seats.

A bigger share of the vote could see a lot of Labour and Conservative seats fall to the Lib Dems - but people will still need to be convinced that they can actually win.
