    Looks to me like confirmation that the poll strength will be turning into more LibDem votes, a welcome return to democracy and a possible increased turnout, now do they offer odds on turnout on Betfair?

    A last-minute rush of people wishing to register to vote is reported by the Electoral Commission

    Just checked 14-1 for a turnout above 75% with the newly popular LibDems on the scene and many people with a lot to lose ( public workers, benefit claimants) could be good bet, I think it was around 33-1 at the beginning of March, see here.
