No idea of the result. All I will say is that it is remarkable that ALL the pollsters show pretty much a tie..

Whatever the outcome, its going to end up the serious mess that the politicians deserve.0 -
And what part of "the campaign is over" is wrong? That you are one of a million Labour workers armed with cattle prods to try and get your reluctant vote out tomorrow for Ed doesn't contradict that.IOS said:MarqueeMark

They can if Cameron manages to stay PM long enough to unlock the Betfair market, but not actually long enough. I increasingly think the price to look iast is Ed as next PM after Cameron, on the basis that has to happen by Summer or not at all - he's not staying on to fight 2020 in any realistic world, is he, and since Cameron has said he'll go before 2020, Ed wouldn't be 'next'.bigjohnowls said:Cameron being PM tightening on Betfair
Lab most seat tightening.
Clearly both cant be right
If you don't agree with that, there's huge arbitrage - back Ed PM after election at 2.12, Lay Ed next PM after Cameron 1.69.

One of the founding policies of the EU is the ability to live, work AND vote in the place you reside. Or did you change the EU constitution.asjohnstone said:
The population of the UK hasn't increased 10% in the "last few years" it went up 7% between 2001 and 2011. It's mostly been driven by births rather than immigration. Read the 2011 census for the facts.NoEasyDay said:
The population of the UK has increased by approx 10% in the last few years most of working/ voting age. We know 8 out 10 immigrants vote Labour. And even if they don't vote they can take part in polls. Where are all these folks registered to vote, well I doubt its Kensington and Chelsea. They will buy and rent where the housing is cheapest which is solidly working class areas. Labour constituencies, rock solid Labour constituencies. Labour wasted vote syndrome anybody ?
Most of the immigration that has occurred has taken place from the EU, EU citizens can't vote.
You're pretty much wrong about everything
The 2011 census was four years ago and the work compiling obviously predates that. In fact if it went up 7% between 2001 and 2011 its not hard to see it going up a further 3% over the next four years.
Has population increased by 10% between 2001 and 2015 ? Yeah, perhaps, no one really knows. I don't think you meant that time period though when you said the "last few years" though.
You painted a picture of a vast flood of working age people, who overwhelmingly vote labour, thus leading to large numbers of wasted votes in safe seats, reducing overall vote efficiency. Nothing you say is supported by the facts.0 -

That's about right from when I was living in Barcelona. They've 90k seats to fill, although most ticket holders only go to the big games and sell their tickets the rest of the time. Note also that the season ticket includes all cup games too, these are always extra at English clubs. I paid 50Euros to watch them play Liverpool in the European cup in 2002.JonCisBack said:

Well Survation and Panelbase are out on a limb with their UKIP figures compared to other pollsters0
-
Seems to me that the PastVoteWeighting is boosting the UKIP total in the polls more than is justified. Just because someone voted UKIP in the Euro's doesn;t mean that translates to the GE.
Fact to remember: In most recent Ashcroft in #GreatYarmouth, for example, the raw data [over 1000 respondents] saw Tory Brandon Lewis was 7pts ahead of Labour. After adjusting for Past Vote Weighting from the Kippers, Lewis was deducted 5pts leaving him just 2 ahead of Labour. But Labour wasn't deducted any points at all.
That's bonkers!
Last year in the Council elections, where they elect in thirds, 13 seats were up for grabs. UKIP scooped 10 of them on the back of the EU elections. But the 10 were taken equally from Cons [5] and Labour [5]. So why did the Tories get penalised and not Labour in this Bellwether seat?
Undoubtedly people have voted UKIP in the [recent] past in relatively inconsequential elections but there's no way the extent of that support is mirrored in the General Election polling. My observable doorstep experience is that UKIP support is evaporating in this seaside borough. Helped by a 48% reduction in local unemployment.
But the Past Vote Weighting wrt UKIP seems to have several problems
1 It treats a previous UKIP vote in the council or Euro elections equally with the General Election - a heroic assumption
2 The experience in the marginal seat polling is that the past-vote-weighting is deducted exclusively from the Tory with none from Labour. Just not credible
So my instinct from all this is that UKIP has been methodologically overstated based on recent voting in council areas where they elect in thirds. And that over-statement has been disproportionately in favour Labour, not the Tories for reasons I can't understand.
That's what'll come out of the wash-up when the pollsters work out what went wrong.
BTW, had a nice chat with fmr senior exec of IpsosMori up here in bandit country last week. Lots of stories. NSFW.
Bunnco - Your Man on the Spot0 -
I suppose the autopsy begins here whatever the result, and I still hope for a Tory maj.
One failure I can point to in the Tory campaign is failing to draw attention to:
1) Mid-staffs
2) PFI contracts
Both fit into the 'competence' theme whilst totally undermining the 'we're good at the NHS stuff' that Labour carp on about.0 -
Hmm. While the Lab and Con scores are congregating, there is still quite a bit of variance on UKIP. 11% for ICM, 16% for Survation0

Once you postulate that the Tories can't win it is clear that 2 is better - even if it turns out that the LDs do go over to the dark side.0 -

You seem to think that the census relates to a collection of years before 2011 and that '2011' merely relates to its publication. In fact it refers to one day in 2011 and data is published over a period 'after' that!
Sadly I am increasingly drawn to the view that your opinions are just another example of the virtual reality world that people live in these days.

No polls are showing a situation where Cameron can be PM, so Tories have to rely on them all being wrong, and by quite a bit as well. If that is the case, that is simply remarkable - that not some, but all of them would be so wrong.
But the pollsters are aware of the danger of calling it so wrong, much more so than 1992 surely, so I think they will have prepared well enough to err on the side of caution without going too far and ignoring/missing what is really happening.
But now I must get an early night in preparation for the being awake for 36+hours, barring power naps if possible, so a good night.
Tories, do not worry - Ed will not be a total disaster, and there will be opportunities to prepare well for the next chance.
Labour - It'll be a tough government to be in charge of, but I hope you rise to the challenge.
LDs - Hang in there I guess.
UKIP - The fight for 2020 begins now, you can build on this.
Greens - Nice try
