Con government led by Boris Johnson w/ Matt Hancock as Health Secretary = 44%
Lab government led by Jeremy Corbyn w/ John Ashworth as Health Security = 37%

YouGov MRP, Chesterfield:PrinceofTaranto said:Gove in Chesterfield today after a Tory surge in their canvass returns according to their candidate there.I thought all Labour activists had been relocated from Chesterfield as it was considered safe for Labour?.Needs about a ten per cent swing.
Lab 42%

When GE books opened the bookies had LibDem Over/Under bets at 5/6 over or under 40.5 seats.Philip_Thompson said:
Interesting phrasing. All the pollsters show it falling, but if you choose to only look at those its fallen the least and then ignore the fall that shows then the Lib Dems have lost less and you wouldn't view that as tanking? Strange cherrypicking.wills66 said:
Actually no, depending on your definition of "tanked". All the pollsters show the LD vote share declining but those pollsters showing the smaller Tory leads show that decline as being in the 2-3% range.Richard_Nabavi said:In one respect "Oh all the instruments agree". The pollsters are unanimous that Jo Swinson's Liberal Democrats have tanked during the campaign.
I wouldn't define 2-3% as "tanked".
WillS.
In September the Lib Dems were consistently polling around 20% ± 2%. They're now consistently around 13% ± 2%. They've lost about 35% of the people who were intending to vote for them - I'd call that tanking.0 -
You have to be joking. Corbyn has been repeatedly doing an Eric Morecambe tribute act with his glasses and a successful dress day for Boris is remembering to zip his fly.Richard_Nabavi said:
But wrong. Corbyn smartened himself up considerably after being told the opinion of the dowager Mrs Cameron. He now looks quite smart enough. Boris is a bit of special case, as always, but he dresses appropriately.noneoftheabove said:
Very good point!alb1on said:
That must be the most stupid comment I have heard in a long time. By all means dislike her, but do not suggest her hair and clothes make her unprofessional when she is up against Johnson and Corbyn, both of whom would be put to shame by a scarecrow.Richard_Nabavi said:
Ah, and the hair. I've tested this theory. Ask any woman about it. You will find I was right. One lady was very surprised that I'd noticed or would care; of course I don't care personally - I'm voting LibDem anyway - but I do care in the sense that I think the fact that Ms Swinson looks so unprofessional is influencing voters, mostly without them even being aware of it.stodge said:Don't bother arguing with Richard N - he's never liked Jo's hair or how she dresses. I don't suppose he's even heard a word she's said.
Even Corbyn, FFS, managed to smarten himself up when his minders nagged him to do so.1 -

I reckon Boris is just a bit tired (and stressed) as he enters the final straight. He’s making one or two unforced errors.
In rugby, this would lead to conceding 3-6 penalty points but still winning the game 35-18, with all the trys on your side.0 -

I don't think that we had anyone on the floor on a drip though.
But can you give us some context:
How many children's beds do you have in the hospital?
How unusual is it to have 18 children with bronchitis needing admission at the same time? or 18 children with any kind of condition needing admission at the same time?
How often are children admitted to other hospitals or adult wards because your hospital is full?

However you cut it, his predicament is being used as a political tool. Corbyn hysterically waving around the Daily Mirror - three days before a general election with Labour trailing well behind.

She's done well. Her approval rating is well ahead of the LD share unlike the other leaders.stodge said:
It wouldn't have made a scintilla of difference if Ed Davey had been leader or if the policy had been a second referendum rather than revoke.Richard_Nabavi said:In one respect "Oh all the instruments agree". The pollsters are unanimous that Jo Swinson's Liberal Democrats have tanked during the campaign.
Jo Swinson has certainly had a baptism of fire and hopefully she will learn a lot from the experience - primarily to ignore or face down the misogynistic comments.
The reason for the reduction in LD share is a Labour squeeze in Lab/Con marginals, - a squeeze that I very much approve of. The reduction in share is nothing to do with Jo.0 -

If I'm remembering correctly, didn't the previous Welsh barometer show an unexpected shift towards Labour? That would suggest simply that that was a slight outlier, and the position has returned towards how it has been for some weeks.0

It's very good news. It means the remain vote is not being split in Con/Lab marginals but going to Labour. It's the reverse in Con/LD marginals but there are far fewer of them, hence the reduction in LD national vote.Philip_Thompson said:
Interesting phrasing. All the pollsters show it falling, but if you choose to only look at those its fallen the least and then ignore the fall that shows then the Lib Dems have lost less and you wouldn't view that as tanking? Strange cherrypicking.wills66 said:
Actually no, depending on your definition of "tanked". All the pollsters show the LD vote share declining but those pollsters showing the smaller Tory leads show that decline as being in the 2-3% range.Richard_Nabavi said:In one respect "Oh all the instruments agree". The pollsters are unanimous that Jo Swinson's Liberal Democrats have tanked during the campaign.
I wouldn't define 2-3% as "tanked".
WillS.
In September the Lib Dems were consistently polling around 20% ± 2%. They're now consistently around 13% ± 2%. They've lost about 35% of the people who were intending to vote for them - I'd call that tanking.0 -
The Tories nearly gaining enough seats for a working majority on Welsh seats alone.1

At around 135 days Jane Dodds (Brecon & Radnorshire) will have served the shortest term as an MP for 30 years. (the late Michael Carr served just 45 days as MP in Bootle, 1990).0

Discussed at length on the previous thread. According to some, people who don’t get a British passport despite living here for decades, working, paying taxes, raising families etc, even fighting for this country are “guests”, if they’re lucky “honoured guests” and should not think of this as a stigma.AlastairMeeks said:The Conservative campaign ends as Vote Leave’s campaign ended: with dogwhistling racism:

It will no doubt be effective. Those Conservative partisans who affect to care about racism when they perceive it elsewhere, take note. If you have any principles, this is your chance to demonstrate them.

Labour`s continual focus on the NHS and their insistence that "The Tories have cronically underfunded it for 9 years!" make me wonder: Is this actually true?
Does anyone know whether NHS spending has risen since 2010? (Inflation adjusted.) I suspect that the claim isn`t true.0 -

Just so people can feel safe I have cashed out my Conservative Majority bet (for a profit).
If I had left this bet on it would have been guaranteed to fail like my Con Maj in 2017 and Lab Most seats in 20150
