I'M TAGGING Luke Akehurst and Dave Cole here.
* Gordon Brown will not call an election
* Lacklustre performances from Labour and the Liberal Democrats in the European Parliamentary elections.
* A strong showing from a third party/advocacy group will not frustrate the Conservatives this time around as it will be co-ordinated.
* Poor showing in both council and EP elections will raise questions about Nick Clegg's future. A move to 'draft' Vince Cable will start.
* Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney will all make at least one visit to Iowa.
* One member of Barack Obama's cabinet will resign (I'm betting Gates).
* Michael Steele will become Chairman of the Republican Party
* Another large investment bank (or formerly know as...) will go under
* Another large British retail bank will ask for government assistance
* Negative growth will be greater than the government's prediction at the PBR
* Al Franken will find 1,000 more votes under his mattress
* The Radovan Karadzic trial will continue to be farcical
* Barack Obama's decision to appoint Hillary Clinton will backfire.
* Justice Paul Stevens will retire
I'll probably update these... so obviously stay posted!

But who will be the Christmas number one? :)
Who do you think the next UK retail bank to go under will be?!
I think there are only two big banks left un-touched Barclays and HSBC (Barclays have been 'saved' by a large injection from Arab investors from Dubai while HSBC has a pretty strong capital base to work off)
Just curious as to your thoughts as ever.
I don't think it's safe to say that Barclays has "been saved". They still have a ton of liabilities and a lot of the money they requested from Dubai paid the bonuses for ex-Lehman staff (or so I am told).
