What's weird with you is that you ignore Ian predicting Labour will come through but go after those who have been predicting Tory wins from the start.

It’s just bants some people literally have no humour, I say @Ian1779 is wrong all the time

YouGov's latest MRP polled over 100,000 people. I could understand if the polls were showing within margin of error or even 5% but none of them have. Time to face facts Corbyn should never have agreed to this election.

Corbyn was bounced into the election and only agreed in the end cos that numbskull Swinson and wee Nicola thought it was in their parties’ interests and broke ranks with Labour. Swinson I think has got it spectacularly wrong and Sturgeon I don’t believe will wipe out the tories north of the border.

Hopefully brexit party don’t fuck up the leave votes, love Nigel but he should pull out of some marginals that the conservatives could win

There are some interesting assumptions behind that data though. They are projecting 18-30 turnout to be well below 2017 levels and 65+ turnout to be higher than any time since the early 60s.

Farage showed what a coward he really is by caving in to the demands of tories and his own rich backers. The positive aspect of this is I believe his spineless campaign has ended his political career and influence.

It'd have been far more sensible to let Johnson own his deal for a bit.

I really think Swinson will lose her seat. Sturgeon will not flip enough of those pro-Brexit Scots who she alienates more by the day.

Because the timing would seem to support the former assumption.

Peter Oborne is voting for Labour and Corbyn.

Boris Johnson wants to destroy the Britain I love. I cannot vote Conservative | General election 2019 | The Guardian

This simulation has gone off the rails.

Good grief, really poor from the state broadcasting service

Fact is IF she was just trying to be first to report for her own ego she needs to be put through the mill. IF she is found to be deliberately breaching the rules she deserves to have the rulebook (coz it's no doubt humongous) thrown in her smug face & be dismissed

There is no way any journalist, let alone one of her experience and seniority, doesn't know you can't do what she did. You can't even report on exit polls until after all voting ends.

What law has she broken?

 

[Grendel]

Don’t think you’ll find anyone that says he will get a majority.... but then he doesn’t need one.

There is little chance Corbyn will be allowed to stay in office in a minority government - Swinson will call the shots

I think she meant 'desires' didn't she.

But still, oops.

The methodology they use isn't necessarily reflective of the electorate. I've said a Tory majority of <10. I've never met anybody who has been polled.

YouGov's latest MRP polled over 100,000 people. I could understand if the polls were showing within margin of error or even 5% but none of them have.

Mentioned this last night but the weightings they are using seem way off to me. This tweet shows it well.

A 65% youth turnout last time dropping to 52% this time while the pensioner vote increases 10-15% seems off to me. Could be significant as those two age groups are the ones who largely support one party, the youth vote going to Labour and the pensioner vote to Conservative.

Given how tight some of the marginals are, a 1% swing can equate to 10 seats or even in some circumstances as many as 20 seats, either or both of those turnout predictions being wrong and the actual turnout being nearer the level of the last election could make a huge difference.

Labour has a majority for anyone under the age of 40. Reasons on a postcard

because most are gullible and when reap the benefits of capitalism vote Tory - your 75 year old Tory voter now was banning the bomb back in the day

 

[Grendel]

Dave says she’s broken the law so I assume the CPS are considering action

She hasn’t broken the law by the way

 

[skybluetony176]

That bloke even looks a bit like Grendull. Too tall but other than that

I'm earning comfortably above the average salary but still won't vote for them. How many 0s need to be in my pay packet before I change?

And this is the issue with politics in this country. People entrenched in their voting habits.
You're basically saying you'd never ever vote Tory, no matter your personal situation.

I live in John Glens constituency. There is not a cat in hells chance he will lose. So what's the fucking point in me voting. (I will be voting btw)

Not Tory doesn't mean always voting one party.

Most people could say the same. Lets face it unless you live in one of a handful of marginals you might as well not bother voting.
