Projected vote share –
“The YouGov projection implies vote shares of Labour on 39%, Conservatives on 22%, Reform on 15%, Liberal Democrats on 12%, Greens on 7%, SNP on 3%, Plaid on 1%, and others on 2% – near identical to the previous YouGov MRP poll two weeks ago”
I saw that it may be about the size of the Blair number of seats, with Tory having lost a few extra seats
Basically we’re a “Margin of error” away from Lib Dems as opposition if these polls are at all accurate
Thursday is Independence Day for the yanks and Tory Independence Day for the Brits.
Can’t wait to see the downfall of the tories tomorrow evening. I’ve been waiting for this moment for 14 years!!
Polls are pointless, vote everyone. Get out and vote.
I’d be astonished if the Tories get 100+ seats and Reform don’t get at least 6
Best of luck to our British neighbours from Ireland ☘️ I hope you’re all soon vindicated
A dreadful govt about to be replaced by an even worse one
You still need to get out there and vote. Don’t take anything for granted.
Are exit polls still reliable metric? Apparently 10 million have signed up to postal vote, and wont be included in exit poll figures
Im 32 and this will be the first time in my adult life that the government aren’t Tories. Weirdly excited by it but not optimistic of anything getting any better to be honest.
Can’t see how reliable a poll from 1832 could be but stranger things have happened!
Yeah, and nobody’s going to be happy anyway because it’s obviously because the Tories really shagged the dog more than anything.
I’ve pre-booked a doctor’s appointment Friday morning, going to need medical help after 4 hours being erect watching the results.
What is his take on Ukraine? Seems he supports them but all the articles I found were a few months old.
And with that majority he’s going to…maintain neoliberal hegemony via another five years of austerity, privatisation and authoritarian crackdowns. On paper he’ll be the most powerful PM in British history, but he’s only in that position because he’s a spineless, obsequious, lickspittle, boot-licking piece of shit who knows his place and can be counted on not to rock the boat by the people who actually run the county.
As much as we will all enjoy the decimation of the Tory Party, anyone expecting substantial change over the next few years is going to be bitterly disappointed and the public backlash against the Starmer regime is going to be biblical.
The polls will count for nothing if we don’t vote tomorrow!!
Every single one of these articles makes 1 more person think they won’t bother to vote.
This is voter supression via proxy and they know it.
The Tories will still lose, but mark my words, it wont be a 60ish seat crushing. They’ll end up with over 100, because of shit like this.
Get out and vote, even if you’ve already won.
We hate the Tories so we are going to vote for other Tories, this system is broked.
I hope the tories are embarrassed but I didn’t vote for Labour in my postal vote.
Voted. Abroad voter.
Lean Conservative. Voted for Labour for the first time in my life.
I think the above is certainly possible.
What wonders Labour can do when they don’t outright alienate the electorate with insane policies. It’s time for a change.
I remember the 1997 election; a tory friend of mine was telling me that he was very hopeful of a big surprise….well, it was a surprise. That was a great evening – the day after the relief in the country was palpable.
Tomorrow, I hope is going to be better.
Anything under 100 seats for the Tories will be great, each seat less a bonus. If the LibDems end up as the official opposition…a hope at the moment, but close, so close
General Election 2029 needs to return to form for the British public because what we have now is a complete abject mess.
Labour needs to move further to the left so traditional Labour voters don’t feel cheated.
The Tory’s need to move further to the right – at the moment we have Tory-lite and Tory-full fat (Reform UK).
As for the Liberal Democrats – they need to get themselves back to the centre, how they are more left wing than Labour in 2024 I’ll never know.
If they keep up this narrative and persuade enough people not to bother to vote Labour , then Fridays headlines will be about Starmer being a failure despite winning.
I’m glad the Tories are getting ruined, I’m still skeptical as to what Labour can offer…. we will see in due time.
Rayner – the deputy PM in waiting – and their foreign security want to dismantle and remove our nuclear deterrent.
That alone is enough to not vote Labour.
Of course, Green Party are the same.
Tories it is then. Keep things steady.
Let this be a lesson to any party wanting to grift off the public purse and lie and embezzle and party while we die in the future, eh
Polls like this rely on people actually showing up to vote. Please don’t be complacent! VOTE!
The only time a landslide will actually save lives
My song about the NHS called ‘Terry and the GP appointment https://youtu.be/4PVqCAWeqPo?si=HANF_3CtW3bXC34i
Labour needs to not let it go to their heads they’re big winners.
They only won because Tories monumental loss and stupidity, not because they were good to actually win
Portraying it as Starmer winning is odd.
The only winners and losers are the British people – and that depends on if the elections are conducted fairly. I currently have no reason to suspect they aren’t fair.
People will vote for Starmer because they find other options unpalatable. If I was elected in such a manner I would not regard it as a personal victory.
If labour is going to be 4 times the size of it’s official opposition then I’d be surprised if factionilism doesn’t rear it’s ugly head.
Batter and be Tories… batter them with extreme prejudice!
Too lazy to google. What could have possibly happened in 1832 for tomorrow to be compared to it?
Ye and its the most unenthusiastic leader, manifesto general feel of the party and completely without charm. There’ll be no opposition so Keir Starmer and the Labour party will just flip flop, increase taxes to new heights, never shut up about blaming the Tories then in some time they’ll basically hand the country over to Reform. Which could fuck it up more or not as much as Labour will. I can’t wait to see everyone think things will get better under Labour when it won’t…
The Tories would have gone a long time ago but were able to cling to power because they took a hard line on Brexit, that was literally the only saving grace to make vast regions of voters switch sides to vote for a party that gleefully works against their interests.
With that issue off the radar, this election is the equivalent of popping a massive abscess.
All without being a decent alternative to the tories
At this point they are just setting it up to call it a “failure” when labour don’t hit the unrealistic projected numbers
I think Polls should be backed by cash.
if the poll is more than 10% wrong or just made shit up wholesale, they have to donate all the money to charity……
Because I’ve seen polls saying the tories will win by a landslide, polls saying the Lib dems will be the official opposition gaining hundreds of seats etc etc etc
Hell the Sun newspaper ran a ‘poll’ that said most people were in favor of the poll tax (ironic name for it).
It’s not that Labour have won, it’s just those other cunts have lost. But they’ve really raided the drinks cabinet beforehand.
And possible on a lower vote share than 2017 Corbyn
