I sold Labour seats at 207. I will be carrying a loss of £250 almost certainly.viewcode said:

I reckon that Tory majority of 50 odd, LD under 10, SNP around 40.

You have to hand it to ITV.
Getting Ozzy and Balls on is a coup.

Depends whether they are normalised to age of voter when analysing. It seems obvious to me, and is a reasonable assumption to match a 75 year old postal voter to a 75 year old in person voter.MikeL said:

I think the LDs will end up with two London seats. One of those will be Twickenham, I suspect. (But hope not.)MarkSenior said:

330 looks like being the big figure now. What DC won in 2015. If May wins that many, she can say 'didn't increase the majority but this is my mandate, I press on'. Just one seat fewer and she's the woman who went to the country asking 'who governs?' and came back with fewer seats than she started with.0

This is going to be an infuriating night for all sides. Lab supporters not sure if their man will do it, Con supporters not sure if their woman has lost it. LD supporters praying the poll is true, SNP supporters praying it is false. Results all over the place. Doubt anyone on PB will be looking back on tonight fondly!0

All I'll say is this. When this thing kicked off in April I said that I couldn't see where all those Conservative gains were coming from and a 35 seat majority would be a good result.
I think I'll stick to that....0 -

The exit poll sample from LD target seats will be way too small to draw any meaningful conclusions. This isn't like last time where almost any polling station showed that their vote had collapsed.rcs1000 said:

Best even slightly realistic returns for me now (goodbye 66/1 shots in Hull) would be if the poll is wrong and Lab get under 240
Lab win Broxtowe, Bristol West, Cambridge, LDs NE Fife, Tories Angus
And some even more minor stuff with SCON and SLD wins, but those are my best hopes for enough to cover my many many losses.0 -

How do the tories get hard brexit through at all? May explicitly went to the country asking for a free hand for her version of hard brexit, and it has been rejected. The people want brexit, that much is clear. But do they really want a hard brexit?SouthamObserver said:

My SwingModel had this prediction for Houghton & Sunderland South. CON 12333 LAB 24038. Actual result: CON: 12324, LAB: 24665.
The SwingModel just assumed there would be a migration from UKIP to CON, and, a youth surge for LAB. So I am encouraged by this result. Overall result of the Swing Model: CON 342, LAB 226. Add +-10. Either way, suggests CON still on course for a majority from 14 to 52. SwingModel National percentage vote prediction: LAB 36%, CON 43%.
Hold on in there Mrs May!0 -
