Yes, JB, that's the way I see it, too. It beggars belief that this country has looked over the ocean to what has been going on in Trump's America and thought "Yes, we'll have some of that!"

Stander - there will be no gnashing of teeth here, the election win is still a poisoned chalice, and it will decimate for at least a generation the party that wins it, whether Corbyn or Johnson. The sea has changed and left them both beached. A Labour party ready to reform without Corbyn can quickly become a potent force. I don't see anything other than an election loss can achieve this. While I'd welcome a grand coalition, can you imagine the press hatred hammering on it everyday? Until one of the group cracked and in the ensuing chaos another general election yielded a Tory majority. |

TMW are you talking about the deplorable word? Queen Jade used it against her sister? Destroyed the whole world of Charn and everyone in it, but she WON and that was the main thing. Iirc. So big, so clever. I still don't get that Chris but thanks for explaining. |

Are SNP, as the 3rd largest number of seats in the UK parliament, missing from that list for a reason?!

Bob!
One would assume that is 'England & Wales', though I can't see it stated anywhere.

Happy - think it's GB wide national polls ave only. PC and SNP only stand in Wales and Scotland respectively, so are missed off some national poll averages. Tbf, SNP average only varies between about 3 and 4% and so small changes, although pertinent to seat results in scotland, don't affect overall vote share averages much anyway. |

I suppose I was reading the source name of ElectionMapsUK and assuming the context was UK. Which still includes Scotland last time I looked.

Irrelevant. The Maybot fade had not really kicked in last time at this stage- this was still will the Tory majority be over 100, or 150 phase. Plus I fear the BP vote us going to start melting away- Farage has no campaign message any more. Also an unknown ‘Conservative remainer’ impact.
