Intelli,
C'mon.....RVR got the speed right long ago!!...Actually they doubled the slow speed by putting one engine at the front and another at the back......Very "creative"...eh??...GNN!!

...last travelled in RVR (cant remember its names by then...0 from Sultan Hamud to Mombasa. Of course the fare was ksh 30. The fun of it was sitting next to a man from the lake with his gramaphone blaring a song by Kanindo Brothers and offering you a piece of fish and some Ugali...all the way from the lake. Those were the days whhen a brother/sister was a brother/sister regardless of where s/he came from...where has that generosity disappeared to?

Intelli,
Those things used to chemka mpaka steering wheel.Why would you want to have two hot wheels?? ...

@Ricdees. UK media argues that since the Tories need to capture in excess of 135 seats in the commons in order to have an outright majority and which may be a tall order, the result could be a hung parliament. In the event, the lib dems will be the king makers and obviously lean towards labor rather than the Tories. Whats your take on the electoral math?

Could Brown's apparent resurgence be just another media hype as we saw in Sri Lanka earlier this year, where media created an impression that the incumbent president was losing elections, only for him to beat the opposition comprehensively?

Uniform Swing Projection

The standard method of translating shares of the vote into seats is to use a uniform swing calculation. This means that the national change in vote share for each party is applied to each individual seat to see how that would effect the result, and then these theoretical results in each seat are totted up to produce a projection for House of Commons.

This is a crude measure and can result in some illogical and impossible projections – for example, if a poll showed Labour support dropping by 13%, as one poll did during Summer 2008, then a uniform swing calculation using those figures would project Labour getting less than zero votes in 48 seats. This is clearly nonsense. Such projections also ignore any regional variations, tactical considerations or variations due to incumbency effects of new MPs or MPs standing down. Despite all these drawbacks, it normally does a reasonably good job and, given that it is a straight extrapolation of current voting figures it is at least accepted as a fair projection that is not at the whim of individual guesswork or assumptions.

There is no such thing as a seat that a party needs to capture to win an election, one MP’s bum on a seat is as good as another.
