It seems all of the polls going towards Labours favour assume an unprecedented turn out of 18-24 year olds.

So we are going to get hosed by the tories unless you round up ever <25 you know and drag them by the ear to the polling booth.

Is that right? Someone said the same thing about the Yougov poll and it wasn't true. This table implies they're using a youth turnout of 50%, similar to Yougov.

Presumably they have a reason for doing this though, like the youth vote saying they will turn out in unprecedented numbers.

I mean obviously it's a big assumption, but given the hatred of socialism by old people getting the youth vote out was always going to be the only way Labour could make ground.

Can turnout difference in 18-25 year olds really explain the 11 point difference in the polls? What % of eligible voters are 18-25?

I'm guessing there's much more to the difference than just youth turnout

So here we go - forget vote share, that's for internal wrangling afterwards and arguments about FPTP, the important thing is who ends up running the country and how much they're going to have to fight their own backbenchers afterwards.

To enter, quote this post (or PM me if you'd prefer to enter anonymously) with the total amount of seats you think will be won by:

CON: Currently 331 including the Speaker
LAB: Currently 229
LD: Currently 9
Other: 81

Only counting parties standing in the majority of seats and likely to get more than 5 seats, sorry regional party fans and the one UKIP supporter I know is still lurking.

Scoring will be simple - when the final result is announced, you will get one point for each seat you are off for each of those four. Lowest score wins. Failing to put in a guess for any of those four will be counted as a zero.

The price of entry is a £5 donation to the (registered, UK) charity of the winner's choice. It's on the honour system - I'll announce the winner and the winning charity on Monday the 12th (assuming no weirdness with recounts in any of the seats put the result) and provide a link for donations.

it's also worth remembering that another 20% of 18-25 turnout is not going to swing the election on its own, nor does knowing that it could be higher really help get useable information out of any models that still looks like a labour win.

It's p much massive russia hack or bust, but it's that faint glimmering possibility

It;s the largest cohort and also the one with the lowest turnout, and as has been mentioned before all the way up to fourtysomethngs skew to Labour but with lower turnout than the tory-skewing higher age groups. I'd guess weighting them differently plus difference in the selection of your sample could easily account for that sort of spread.
