The betdata.io chart shows the last five days on the Betfair exchange and as can be seen there was almost no movement. The Tories are still rated by punters as having a 65% chance of securing a majority.

Though I have the feeling this is creeping back to hung parliament territory rather than Conservative majority. The Banter Heuristic dictates that the balance of power after 12 December should be exactly the same as it is at present.
The candidate opposed abortion and same sex marriage
Who is this cretin?
In Scotland 14 year olds can register.
If they are in University owned registration the head of the household (i.e. the University) has a legal duty to register them.
Equally a university probably has enough duty of care to auto-register 17 year olds (18 year olds are a slightly different matter).
Either way registring them does not mean they vote - it just means they don't accidently miss out on their right to vote.
It's almost like the sun doesn't want people voting.
Shambles is my conclusion of the debate last night.
Leaders, shambles, Julie Etchingham, shambles, ITV, shambles, format, shambles, and Sky after, shambles and unwatchable
I switched off the media, played classical music, had a cup of tea, and drifted off to sleep before rising at 4.30 am to take my daughter and son in law to Manchester Airport
If last night is anything to go by I recommend switching off the media for all further debates for peace of mind
If they’re not careful they’ll make it so short, meaningless and anodyne it will raise questions about their real vision and programme for Government.
They should learn from GE2017 but also not overreact.

Liberal my arse
Agree, complete non-story.
Either way so long as there's no fraud I couldn't care less. Just hope this doesn't mess up anyone who had registered individually by e.g. changing their postal vote preference etc.
It's easier to desire and pursue the attention of tens of millions of total strangers than it is to accept the love and loyalty of the people closest to us
Gibson could have been writing about Boris in Idoru.
Abortion and same sex marriage are traditionally seen as personal choice issues, and although I disagree with him on both, I'm surprised it's led to disavowal by the party.
"We will put a bit of the money back we cut from schools budgets"
Winner
And if you want to deny some people human rights because of their sexual orientation than of course you shouldn't be a Libdem candidate.

contains great detail but non-standard approach attempting to gauge the strength of opinions and likelihood to vote for particular parties. I am struck by the almost identical likelihood profiles of ABC1 and C2DE voters regarding Conservative and Labour. Class on this categorization is not a thing at all.
Yesterday was a very, very bad day for Trump and the Republicans.
Not sure this is a good line of campaigning..
I think this finally solves the age-old riddle about whether he is really a fool, or just a wise man pretending to be a fool.
she needs a bacon buttie or two.. (in political terms).

He pulled the same trick in his speech on Monday to the CBI, where the head honcho had to tell him to shut up.
Johnson's progress round the country in this election seems an object lesson in pissing the electorate off (see almost any trip to a hospital, for example)
Not denying that Corbyn is doing badly - but that's his policies people are rejecting. Johnson is piling up totally pointless examples of stupidly bad manners.
They'll all come to roost eventually.

Also, Davey(?) and the other guy having a cavaliar attitude to safety, or the woman in the back row being over-careful wearing eye protection?
But, of course, Twitter account names generate more outrage
You could argue it was an example of a government in command of the detail of governance, or flailing around for something to do in the absence of a vision for the future.

I think that’s pretty good .
The type of person who many working class people have been a victim of.
Meanwhile the middle class Southern vote and it's fear of Corbyn PM means the Tories are proving very hard to unseat.
Airmiles is probably going to end up with the Edward VIII treatment, and the Sussexes need to work out what is their mission in life - suing a newspaper isn't the way to go about it, just makes it more likely that all the non-reported stories start to come out of the woodwork.

I guess the one thing the so-called "working-class" can say of prep-school and grammar school educated Mr. Corbyn is he definitely ain't one of them!
Other than get roundly defeated next year.
My generation and those that the LDs are targetting are far more likely to drink coffee.
