I seriously think this will be a wipeout.
Does anyone think Labour's polling will get better between now and election day?
SNP 43.1% (50% in 2015)
Tories 27.9% (14.9%)
Labour 17.8% (24.3%)
Lib Dems 8.8% (7.5%)

I have no idea where the "lead cut in half" comes from. Early contender for most misleading headline of the election campaign.
But Phew, some normality at last.
Ignore the swing - it's really not impossible, although I expect the personal vote for Angus will keep him safe.

Prezza's column suggests Corbyn could re Rocky of politics. Which I thought he'd already claimed.
And I liked them....

Actually, I'm among the more optimistic about their chances.

Altogether now, let us say our prayers:
“We cannot be killed.
Shortly there will be an election, in which Labour will increase its majority, and in so doing utterly shatter the glass paradigm of cyclical politics which has contained us for the century since 1906. "

Liberal Democrat @ 1.005 - Do they know something we do not?
It’s in the nature of collective hysteria that no single act can be adduced to prove its existence. But there is a fin de siecle, self-destructive, decadent craziness about Conference 2017. Somewhere in the wads of twenty somethings and thirtywouldbes jamming the chintzy Bournemouth bars long after they’re normally silent lurks the jitterbugging desperation of the Twenties before the Crash, Berlin between the wars, London as Imperial Glory died with its queen. The collective psyche of this group of individuals who’ve never had it so good has rarely been so uncertain.
Perhaps the magnitude of the moment we face is too great for us collectively to bear. Shortly there will be an election, in which the Conservatives will increase their majority, and in so doing utterly shatter the glass paradigm of cyclical politics which has contained us for the century since 1906. This ought to herald another decade of strong, confident, consensual Tory government. Which will finally and irrevocably transform the nature of politics and civic life in Britain."
May won't want a low turnout on election day, if voters think it looks like it's in the bag already.
It will sour the milk.
"I want to make this clear.
The Liberal Democrats will not enter into any coalition deal with either Theresa May’s Conservatives or Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party."
Edit now down to 14/1 - But still fill your fecking boots
It's a pure uniform swing model taking votes from Lab and UKIP and distributing them to Tory and then siphoning off some votes from SNP ad giving back to Labour.
I'm interested to see the 12 seats Curtice has selected.
Their final published poll before the last election had the Tories and Labour level on 31 apiece (though after the event they claimed to have an unpublished 37-31 poll).
Replying to @andrewpicken1 and @Sunday_Post
Prospect of another majority Tory Government bolsters indy cause as 37.9% of Scots say they are more likely to vote Yes if this is the case.
Is that all? 37.9%?
Presumably that will include a large chunk of those who we're going to vote Yes anyway....
