Orbit Communications, one of Scotland’s leading integrated PR and public affairs agencies, has launched a competition to predict the number of seats that each party will win in Scotland and across the UK as a whole.

The competition will run until 10pm on Thursday 7th May. The entry closest to the final numbers in Scotland will win a bottle of whisky, and the entry closest to the final result across the UK will win a bottle of champagne.

Ed Miliband has described this year’s UK General Election campaign as “too boring”. So with time running out, we’ve decided to make things a little more interesting. We're inviting you to put on your best Jeremy Vine impressions and enter our General Election prediction competition to win a bottle of whisky or a bottle of champagne.

Opinion polls suggest the stage is set for a hung parliament and the overall result is too close to call – but how accurate will those polls prove to be on the 8th May?

Could this be the first election since the Great Reform Act of 1832 that one political party takes every single Scottish seat at Westminster?

Could Mhairi Black become Britain’s youngest ever MP or could Douglas Alexander be the next foreign secretary?

Will Charles Kennedy defy the polls and serve an eighth term at Westminster? Will the Scottish benches become a Conservative-free zone or will the party make new in-roads this time?

UK-wide, will we see UKIP or the Greens make the breakthrough they’ve been campaigning for? And who is going to emerge as the largest party?
