Here (h/t anonymous on the open thread) was the BBC's home editor Mark Easton giving us the benefit of his wisdom on tonight's BBC One News at Six:
Clive Myrie: With me as the BBC's home editor, Mark Easton. For some, the choice in this election seems stark and clear, yet, as we have shown there, clearly there are people who are still undecided about this election.
Mark Easton: You know, I'm really struck by the number of people I've met who still say they haven't made up their mind who they are going to vote for on Thursday. The campaign itself, if anything, has deepened the sense of scepticism, cynicism, certainly not enthusiasm. The party leaders are not seen to be trustworthy, certainly not particularly likeable. I think, on the issues, people are generally fed up with Brexit. They want it out of the way, you know, whatever happens, one way or the other. They want to move on. We want to talk about other things. And on those other issues, real frustration, I think, that we are not talking more about the the health service, about crime, and housing, and climate change, the cost of living. The manifestos, I think, are often seen as a wish list, rather than a credible road map for government, and many of the voters I've met here today have said they are going to make their mind up in the voting booth itself, they are going to look down the card and make the decision, I don't know, based on their final instinct. In India, you know, they have a box on the voting card that reads 'none of the above', and I suspect if you had that here for this election, it would get a huge amount of support.
