    Yougov MRP polled through today so these numbers are right up to date
  • Andy_JSAndy_JS Posts: 38,216
    2,803 votes changing hands would have lost the Tories their 14 most marginal seats at GE2017. (14 seats over the 326 winning mark gives a majority of 28).

    If someone told me in January that the Tories could have any majority by the end of the year, I would have laughed myself silly.

    Would be very interesting to see the day by day changes.

    Clear Tory majority but still close enough for both parties to keep campaigning to the end with the possibility of a hung parliament

    That hexagon map on the YouGov seat page is terrible. Ross, Skye & Lochaber is not south of Glasgow North-West even after 10 cans of Tennents.

    Yeah, it' s a remarkable graphic, there's loads like that.

    We will need to see more polls post Johnson's NHS comments, which according to the focus group I saw, has cut through.

    11 million views now, that's a lot of people.

    Anyone who saw the Ashworth video, they already know they've been told Corbyn is unfit, he's a danger, etc. It won't move the dial at all.

    Some will say Tories will be panicking unnecessarily at this, but it is right in line with the message that Boris himself has been pushing - that Corbyn and co could still win (albeit in messier fashion than the Tories could win).

    Polls have been fine for the Tories 9-10 pt lead, even with a lot of tactical voting and really marginal seats if that is the baseline vote then they will get a majority, either a small one like 28 or really large, depending on luck of the marginals.

    So it really does still come down to whether Labour can literally stage a last day surge of even a few more percent, or if the polls themselves are out by that amount still, same as it ever was.

    10-40 looks like a solid range of prediction for a Tory majority. They are far enough ahead in polling, with a lot of votes already case, that they will eke over the line.
  • Sean_FSean_F Posts: 39,796
    Lots of very tight results, but a 9% lead will produce a comfortable Conservative lead on the day. Because, that's what a 9% lead on 40% + produces.

    Your problem is that it also reminds waverers just how close the far right is to securing a majority.

    Yougov MRP map now out, now all the Tories gains bar Eastbourne and Dagenham and Rainham are forecast to be North of Watford, with Kensington now staying Labour.

    The North, the Midlands and Wales thus crucial to any Tory majority and Scotland where the Tories are still holding 8 out of 13 seats.

    The recovery being better for Lab in Remain areas is good news for the Tories. Far more seats at stake in Leave areas. Labour need to have a decent last day swing to retain these.

    The Labour Leave voters just can't vote Tory.
  • ByronicByronic Posts: 3,578
    The final TSE remark on Boris is not justified.

    When Boris went for this election, remember what most people said? That an overall majority would be really hard, that the combination of BXP, tactical voting, resurgent Lib Dems, difficult seats, etc etc etc, meant it was almost impossible for him to get a resounding win.

    If this vote had taken place last Thursday, he would have got a hefty majority.

    As it happens, it is now a toss-up between a small majority and a hung parliament.

    The Tories have fought a tight and clever campaign, with some great messaging, but it was always an uphill struggle: for a governing party to win a fourth term in a row?

    If these were normal times, as a rightwinger, I would now say, fair's fair, it's time for the other guys, give them a go.

    But these are not normal times. The other guy is a Marxist and an anti-Semite.

    We are fucked.

    This is the issue. For those Tories horrified that Corbyn could lead a minority government and unbelieving that people could let it happen. There are those of us who are just as anti Johnson leading any government.

    The desire not to let it happen is broadly equal.

    This does tend to rather illustrate Gallowgate's point.

    Whether this culture war has been successful or not is still too early to say, though. I still don't think we're in definite hung parliament territory yet, although it's close.

    Interesting change. LDs were not out of it in the last MRP so if the fear was the Tories winning it back its surprising they could not squeeze Labour, instead their prospective supporters fled back to Labour.

    Well yes, it is not magically accurate or anything. Does it feel right? Not really, the polls have been steady enough, but with so many close calls there's such a wide range anything from 315-395 looks possible on very similar final votes.

    In a world of possibles, maybes, probables, I'd be interested to know what numbers people put on the break points Tory Govt for these imprecisions in the context of Tory vote share - hung, can't rule out, possible, probable, almost certain. I haven't ventured an opinion because I feel quite cowed by the level of expertise on the subject exhibited on here.

    Boris needs to get outside Downing Street tomorrow and make a statement assuring the people that the NHS is safe in his hands and that no one should have to be without a bed. He needs to link the Brexit dividend back to the NHS and promise £350 million extra a week from the moment we leave .

    I note that references to MOE are that it heads to "Hung Territory". Equally on the other side it heads to "Landslide"!

    Now is the time for everyone who doesn't want the country destroyed to turn out for the Tories.

    This poll should help remind waverers just how close the far left is to power.

    You idiots only have yourselves to blame.You made this a culture war.
    And you want to make it a war of annihilation by electing Corbyn and his lunatic cabal.
    They are both as bad as each other but at least Corbyn has good intentions.
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    BTW - this might focus peoples minds on the possibility of Corbyn in Downing street

    I can retire and ride this out - not everyone can do that

    Surely 317 Tory seats this time wouldn't be enough with DUP support, aren't they set to lose two?

    Something has started.

    True the direction of travel is up for Labour.

    This surely implies Lab outperforming UNS.

    And it's not as if LDs are distorting what Con requires - ie high LD seats means greater Con lead needed for majority. We only have LD net gain of 3 seats.

    So how does this reconcile? Lab must be outperforming where matters most.

    But a bit counterintuitive as lots of Lab marginals in Leave areas where Con should outperform UNS.

    Not if you are Jewish.

    Come on Con 325 - Tories would be able to pass the WA, but Boris Johnson would not be able to claim to be another Tory PM who won an official majority.

    The final TSE remark on Boris is not justified.

    When Boris went for this election, remember what most people said? That an overall majority would be really hard, that the combination of BXP, tactical voting, resurgent Lib Dems, difficult seats, etc etc etc, meant it was almost impossible for him to get a resounding win.

    If this vote had taken place last Thursday, he would have got a hefty majority.

    As it happens, it is now a toss-up between a small majority and a hung parliament.

    The Tories have fought a tight and clever campaign, with some great messaging, but it was always an uphill struggle: for a governing party to win a fourth term in a row?

    If these were normal times, as a rightwinger, I would now say, fair's fair, it's time for the other guys, give them a go.

    But these are not normal times. The other guy is a Marxist and an anti-Semite.

    We are fucked.

    4th term in a row? You realise the last 2 terms have hardly been of significant length right?

    Never before has a Marxist terrorist bootlicker been on offer as a potential PM.
    He is still better than a mendacious sociopath of a clown. The SNP will keep Jezza in line.

    I still predict Con 360+. Are we having a PB NoJam contest?
