  1. Submitted this last week but needed to make some fixes

    I have a UK election seat calculator – I’ve added functionality to display constituencies based on margin:

    Very tight (0-2%)

    Tight (2-5%)

    Close (5-8%)

    The above image is based on the latest poll from UK pollster Find Out Now

    Interestingly, 45.7% of GB seats are considered marginal here, illustrating the increasing competiveness of UK politics

    Data: Publicly available polls, GE2024 Results from the House of Commons Library, ONS Constituency Boundary Data

    Tools: GeoJson and D3 maps

    The calculator uses Universal National Swing, a fairly simple way of calculating seats which applies the national polling swing across all constituencies

  2. Oh god please be tight so my MP actually does her job (I haven’t met a single person with a positive opinion of my MP, transcending party lines too in this case.

    That being said, rather the useless MP I know than a Reform MP.

  3. British politics is kind of interesting at the moment, it might be going through a once in a century realignment with the Conservative party – often described as the most successful political party in a democratic country in the world – becoming increasingly irrelevant and potentially being relegated to being one of the minor parties.
