I think everyone is going to wake up to a 120-125 seat Con majority on Friday. The mood music has changed after Saturday night, even within the London liberal bubble that is my social group.
Maybe even higher. The public have decided on Labour's bonkers experiment and will quietly deliver their verdict.
TMay needs a Tory landslide.
The country needs a Tory landslide.

So I hope you are correct.

There is always a potential error in projections!
4% would be an average of about 8% in the seats they're contesting, which is plausible IMO.

I have noticed the same thing within my London bubble.
The Corbynites in my life (in real life and on social media) have started sounding shrill, angry, desperate. It's a big tonal shift from where we were last week. They've gone from being optimistic and cheerful to hectoring and nasty. The bubble has burst.

Sometimes I think Abbott is there so that Tories start to get complacent again. I'm not watching her current performance, but even among my Corbynite acquaintances, who are very dimissive of the attacks on the nuclear and IRA issues, they were not fans of her.

Imagine if ICM and ComRes either weren't polling or weren't using their historic turnout model.
The average Con lead would be about 4% and presumably No Overall Majority would be favourite - or at least the odds would be very close between Con Maj and NOM.

The questions were:
VOTING BEHAVIOUR

2) Explain reasons for differential turnout between constituencies at General Elections.
3) 'Voting behaviour at UK General elections is primarily down to the personalities of those seeking office, as opposed to their policies' Discuss
ELECTORAL SYSTEMS
1) Explain the term representative democracy
2) Identify and explain two reasons why David Cameron decided to call the EU Referendum.
3) 'The use of referendums since 1975 has done little to enhance democracy' Discuss
I reckon most posters here would be nailed on for an easy "A" with those questions. (No A* grade for AS levels). My daughter thought it pretty easy, too - we'll find out if she did as well as she thought on results day in August.
For those who think the visits of cabinet ministers to Bolsover are more than just a coincidence, you can still get 8/1 on the Tories with William Hill.
He can only be doing this so they can post videos online of him getting large crowds for his speeches....but then only hardcore fans would watch them.
If this were Theresa May, I would think it meant something.
But there could be a multitude of reasons Corbyn is visiting such seats.
So where will TMay end the campaign? I seem to recall Cameron always went to Carlisle (which in 2010 was very telling)....
Islington North!
"I want people to know that the politics of Jeremy Corbyn are deluded, they are dangerous, and only the Conservatives are offering strong and stable solutions in the national interest, and I want to take that message to every part of this country, even right here, in Jeremy Corbyn's own seat"
She looked sedated. Soon snapped out of it when asked about Trump, though.
Clever interviewing talking about a report she claimed to have read but the interviewer knew more about it than her. How do they let her out so poorly prepped, no need to edit it to make it amusing just put it on continuous play
So there you have it. The alternative. A Shadow Home Secretary who, at a time of national concern if not emergency, appears on television absolutely unprepared for any kind of interview.
I can only assume Dermot Murnaghan felt sorry for her. He could have had her served up on toast when it became obvious she hadn't read the report.
I'd put it down to crapness/arrogance but there's more to it than that. She appears to me as if she's been swallowing bennies and vodka before appearances.

My working assumption is that she will be led by CCHQ analysis from Crosby/Messina (which we know is very good, and I personally believe it now too) and will go to a few Labour held seats where the margin of victory is forecast to be 500 votes, or less, in the hope of making the difference, by firming up Tory turnout and winning over last minute waverers.
If she visits defensive Tory-held seats, then that also tells us something.

A report about precautions against terrorism - obviously of no interest to a shadow home secretary

I also know the sneering and snobbery aimed at Coldplay is rather pathetic.
Coldplay, the Theresa May of 'rock' music.
Prediction: in ten years Coldplay will be seen as unquestionably great. Their problem is they just got too popular, so insecure people (such as yourself, it seems) feel forced to prove their coolness - to separate themselves from the plebs - by sneering at them.
This process happens time and again in pop music. The Bee Gees are an excellent example. Became massively famous, became as reviled as Coldplay. Now no one doubts their enormous talent.
100 million views. 100 million! And rightly so. A genius song.
May is not the Bee Gees. She is not Coldplay. Both wrote their own tunes and demonstrated not only popularity ,but creativity.
If May were a band, she would be Jive Bunny. Popular initially with her nostalgic remixes, but ultimately with nothing much to say.
I agree! i never made the comparison. I was just pointing out that people like to sneer at very popular acts, but these acts are often - usually - very popular because they are very talented.
Though I'm not sure TMay is *quite* as bad as Jive Bunny.
I genuinely can't think of anything original from May. Nothing at all. Mostly carries on what Dave started. Borrows from Ed. Borrows from Nigel. Evokes Maggie through her gender. But offers nothing really of her own at all.
It's remarkable really when you think about it. Not a single idea. Even John Major had his cones hotline.
She's pretty disappointing. A decent Labour leader would be marmalising her
But she's very likely to win and she's very likely to be negotiating Brexit so I'm just praying she has deeply hidden talents.
And now, gin.
Successfully negotiating a hugely complex agreement with the need for sensitivity and diplomacy is an entirely different skill set to having an impressive election campaign in the media based on soundbites and presentation skills

While I don't like the assumption that anyone voting LD (or even Green) must presumably also want to Stop Tories as a priority, nice of someone to think about the LDs at this dark times. 2-13 on Hanretty I believe.

Can you elaborate please? What did she say?
Asked if she was a liability who was being hidden, said she was shadow home secretary so it was natural for her to do interviews.
Then asked if she expected to be home secretary on Friday - "well, the most important thing is that we win a majority which I'm confident we will, then we will see on Friday"
She looked sedated. Soon snapped out of it when asked about Trump, though.
Because she had no fucking clue what the reporter was on about
He was kind, other reporters would have eviscerated her for that pile of shite.
It was far better to let herself hang out to dry than pulling her to shreds which would only marginally improve the sympathy vote, how did she get past a constituency selection meeting, was their only one candidate?

No - politics is being reformed from next year anyway, so it is still on the old system (it's one of the last to change and is incidentally changing very much for the worse). However, the key thing is that AS levels under the new system no longer count towards A-levels. You can still do them, but they are a qualification worth half an A-level, rather than half of a full A-level.
No, but they are being delinked from A-levels - we are back to the situation in the early 1990s when AS levels and A levels were separate qualifications. Some students will continue taking AS levels e.g. to demonstrate what their likely final A-level grades will be. Also, not all the syllabuses have changed over yet (some have come on-stream before others) so there are still some legacy ones in operation where the first-year AS modules still count towards the final A-level.
I once listened to this song about 50 times in a row, without a break. It's that good.
Gosh, that is very good. I'd quite forgotten it.
I reckon pop song writing is (ahem) a bit like thriller writing. People sneer at it (especially if it is popular) because it appears cheap and ubiquitous - sold in supermarkets like detergent. In reality, it is very difficult and few can do it well, hence the huge rewards if you get it right - as the Bee Gees clearly did.
I think that's probably right. Critically acclaimed stuff is rarely the most popular stuff, which usually gets sneered at. I'm as guilty of that as anyone, and it is not as though everything that is popular is indeed good, with the passage of time, but some of it really is.

That's more than a little surprising given they went through children's books seeking out caricatures of black people they could ban. I don't think Ms Abbott would thank you for calling her middle class either.

As someone just about to be the first cohort through the new system, making A levels only be assessed at the end of the two years is great, imo.
