TheRat posted:First Past The Post means Tories get absolute majority with current polls. In 2015 they got 50.8% of the seats from 36.9% of the vote share. Well this is stupid, but I guess you take what you can. I was just wondering because here in Portugal the Socialist Party (anti austerity) lost against the Social Democrats (pro-austerity) but still managed to make a post-election "coalition" with the left bloc and the communists to be able to form a government and legislate in the assembly and it's been going pretty great: https://www.ft.com/content/f787e5c0-3eda-11e7-82b6-896b95f30f58 (unemployment just came down to 9.8%, woo! something the last government was never going to do, since all they wanted was to take money away from the people) Also, I think the biggest contributing factor to this success was the minimum wage being raised.

Not necessarily even entering into coalition, but simply signing agreements with other parties to support them in confidence motions.

Pissflaps posted:82% would be a bit more than a 25 year high: It would. I didn't say 82%. A 25 year high, as your chart helpfully shows, would be the aim of between 54-67%. This appears possible, and is not an unreasonable goal for Labour to aim for now. It's what their PR is currently focussing on getting, but on its own it's not enough. The guardian had a little sob piece about all the poor tories who aren't politically challenged who would think Theresa May is taking the absolute piss, and if the tories manage to keep an appreciable number of their own voters home it is where the youth turnout can begin to take seats.

sebzilla posted:Electoral Calculus currently has it at about 19% if you count Lab majority and various potential coalition choices all as wins. That's with polling data that only goes up to the 27th so potentially 20+%. Electoral Calculus currently puts the chances of the Tories winning Bristol West at 22% and is, to be blunt, loving wrong.

presumably agencies and visa sponsors will be getting a bulk discount and/or absorbing the cost? since they won't be contacting UKVI from outside the UK. looks like a rather blunt way to push people into letting having them handle all communication for you.
