Virendra Sharma will become the Labour MP for Ealing and Southall on Thursday 19th of July, simply because neither the efforts of Nigel Bakhai for the LibDems, nor the antics of Tony Lit aka Surinderpal Singh Lit for the Dave Cameron's Tories have been enough to sway the voters away from Labour since the death of Labour MP Piara Khabra.
As Virendra Sharma the odds on favourite crosses the line, it's the race for second and third place which has become the real race within this race. Some punters believe that Nigel Bakhai's horse Ming has lost it's zing and may fall at the last fence to come in a poor third. This being the case, it may be that a vet will have to be called to put the old horse out of his misery.
You would think that David Cameron would prefer Ming to Nick Clegg, and pull the Play Boy up instead and let Nigel Bakhai come in second. The odds favour the LibDems coming in second, but ex-Labour supporter Surinderpal Singh Lit who as Tony Lit was poached by David Cameron before he realised that Sunrise Radio had financially supported the Labour Party, might just pull out another surprise and come in second place. The trouble is, Virendra Sharma horse the Brown Bounce has kicked up a lot of mud and much of it has stuck like shit on Tony Lit and weighs him down. David Cameron came off second best with Michael Crick for Newsnight, and appeared to be bodyguarding Tony Lit as though he was a soft target.
1. Labour
2. LibDems
3. David Cameron's Tories
UPDATE: "Anyone who indulges in byelection predictions usually lives to regret it".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Good analysis. Link to Dale's and a new Iain Dale graphic over at mine. Here it is.
Chris: I do like that graphic and may be in the future I might steal it.
BTW, how the effing hell do you get the link into the comment?
You can cut and paste the text in the shaded box on this page and replace "resumepage.htlm" with the page you want (in quotes, of course) and write whatever you want in the space where it says - my resume.
Dead simple (for dead simple folk like me).
Oh! and don't forget to bookmark (or mark as favourite) that page, then you can keep going back to it and you will end up interspacing all your comments with lots of references, like me.
I think your blog is a good read, by the way.
swimmer6foot4: Thanks, tested it at the link provided by Chris Paul above.
Ming the Merciless???????
