Can the Conservatives win outright? Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats have been politically embarrassed with the crystal methodist, Lord Rennard and links to PIE to name but a few. (I can't remember any Tory scandals off the top of my head - anyone enlighten me?) Is this enough to discredit them? With the promise of a European referendum for the first time in forty years and what appears to be steady economic recovery will the Tories win a second term with or without the Lib-dems?
Or will UKIP surprise, split the Tory vote land lead to a Lab-Lib coalition?
Predictions,comments and observations welcome.

Lib Dems will be massacred (lol), most their supporters will naturally drift to Labour.
So, despite the shambles they left the place last time, clear Labour majority.
Can sort of see why politicians hate letting us vote to be fair.

As long as it's not Labour (even though it probably will be) and the Liberal Democrats are banished (as they will be), I don't really care.
In fact, I'll probably laugh at the site of Nick Clegg crying.

Labour win outright, a small smile on my face if the Liberal Democrats lose half their seats.

The way things are going I highly doubt there would be a Tory majority, cracks are already forming within that party and it doesn't appear even the PM is in any position that could remotely be considered as safe.
If there is a Tory minority government, probably would be someone else as PM before 2016 as there would definitely be a leadership crisis.
Labour majority? I'll give it a 51% chance that it could happen with that current idiot as leader, now if it was his brother who came back to lead I'd say 70%
Lib-Lab coalition? 80% as I doubt they would lose near as much seats as everyone predicts they would lose. Clegg probably would be history though.

I expect that the public will just forget political scandals.
I expect that a rise in UKIP votes will just harm the conservatives (given how the FPTP system works). I don't think UKIP will aquire many seats (maybe none), unless something unusual happens.

For what reason do you think that the Liberal Democrats will be banished after the 2015 general election?

I haven't seen any substantial evidence of support for them since the tuition fee scandal.

I think it could be another hung parliament, with the Lib Dems possibly able to get into government again, to the outcry of most of the media.

Labour majority is the most likely outcome for me - our lead is pretty solid and the electoral system favours us. Next most likely is a Lab/Lib coalition alongside the SDLP, Greens (if they have an MP) and other minor parties.
Its going to be close though!

While it is true that the Liberal Democrats are doing worse in the opinion polls (than they were in 2010):

The only way they start shedding is if for some reason the Tories don't get hurt anywhere near as much as them which is not the pattern of local elections or by-election averages where the swings have been similar implying Tory-Lib seats will probably stay as they are.

My 2015 prediction:
UKIP won't win a seat; the may increase their vote share but I there just isn't enough concentrated support to win a seat as far as I can tell. Coming second in every seat they challenge is meaningless.
Lib Dems will lose seats but not enough to describe it as a 'meltdown'; their strongholds are just that- strong.
Labour majority of between 40-80- to win, the Tories need to increase their share of the vote quite substantially from 2010. I can't see that happening.
