The parties must be hiding their most gaff prone figures - that reminds me, where is Diane Abbott... :teresa:

Average figure was from *their* poll tracker.

Yes, three months ago, in an non-mainstream article... :rolleyes:

Pot, kettle, black! :rofl:

You don't half talk some crap. :rolleyes: The average lead figure I used is the one from your beloved Guardian! :lol: I apply it to votes counted, full stop! It's been repeated over and over again - polling companies do *more* than just political polls, bad predictions harm their business in general!

non sequitur - if they get in again it will be through a democratic vote.

In 9 days time (or even as early as 10pm next Thursday).

Incorrect - only one polling company out of 12 maybe using that flawed methodology, so their contribution to the average will be very diluted. Also, a 1% swing to the Tories from the 2017 result would give than an overall majority - an extra 19 seats, giving them 336 and a majority of 22...

So Michael claims, but we don't have anything but his word on that. :unsure:

#50 confirmed Also t40 updated.

Boris should say he's happy to given an interview once the election is over, though. :heehee:

Hustings make good TV, but I think would be unwise to draw conclusions from them, as they are generally attended by the more politically active and thus not very representative of voters in general. After all, in 2016 all we heard was hate, hate, hate for Trump, but no-one bothered asking Middle America... <_<

I don't think it's true that they are not reflected in the polls though, as Michael claims. TWo new polls today : ICM : +7 Tories (curiously, this been very consistent throughout the campaign) Kantar : +12 Tories In 2017, the average Tory poll lead 8 days before the election was 6%, whereas the average is still 10-11% this year. :thinking:

I think Emily Thornberry will most likely still have that. ;)

It would take more than just tactical voting, as he had well over 50% of the vote last time. :mellow:

That didn't stop their dad... :w00t:

I've never been an advocate of leaving everything to the market - there are certain areas where the gov't needs to take charge, health & education for example.

They escaped from the British hereditary monarchy, only to use a different form... ;)

Just not to the question asked. :P

Iro the NHS, the only thing that'll really get people's attention would be if there were any suggestion that it no longer be free at the point of use - and even the Tories know that would be electoral suicide!

That was my guess too , but it was too good a typo to ignore. :P

I've heard of it raining cats & dogs, but not food! :P

Lots of LD posters, but just one Tory, but that's normal for here, as it's other parts of the town that are strongly tory. Labour is the only party I haven't received so much as a leaflet from.

Yes, this is a perplexing case...

Do people still put up garden boards/window stickers saying which party they are supporting, in your area?
