Don't we all? Before I pretty much stopped using Facebook I decided to start deleting 'friends' who were openly racist. I removed like 100 people I knew fairly well in the space of a few months.

That Yougov model just goes to show how ultimately hosed-up our political system is. SNP gets 4% of the vote, and gets 46 MPs. Lib Dems get 9% of the vote, and get 12 MPs. Twice the voters. A quarter of the representation.

Fake edit: gently caress, that's not even the worst of it. UKIP gets the same vote share as the SNP, but gets no MPs at all, while Plaid Cymru gets 0% of the vote and gets twice the MPs the Greens get on 2%

Can't say I paid much attention to things in 2015, but did Miliband ever attract crowds like this?

UKIP got 12.7% of the vote and 1 MP in 2015

Survation's online and phone polls were similar.

No, but Michael Foot did.

...aren't you taking the opposite tac from usual with this?

I mean, yes, Survation are favourable for Labour but that's because of youth turnout assumptions and aren't MRP model predictions.

"A population is easier to manage when it is divided. Labour and Tory should unite for the common good then the public would be harder to manipulate as the press wouldn't be biased anymore. By having people argue between one another and take sides between them leaves no room for progressive conversations and listening."

Why can't everyone just get in a room together and sort it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaht

I don't know how many times the 82% turnout has been stated in this thread, it was bullshit

Reminder that the fabled youth turnout prediction isn't actually a thing. YouGov predicts 50% 18-24 turnout.

Just had a look on Facebook, and.... it seems to be full of people posting stuff about the mayor of London being a terrorist supporter.

I'm trying to stream Tayor Swift's hit album "1989" on my phone, but the 4g reception in my office is garbage so It keeps hanging and not buffering.
What will Jeremy Corbyn do to ensure that 4g (and beyond) is accessible on every square inch of this disgusting, benighted island, so that I'm never left without upbeat girlpop to protect my ears from the wretched mewling of my hated countrymen?

We will deliver universal superfast broadband availability by 2022. Labour will improve mobile internet coverage and expand provision of free public wi-fi in city centres and on public transport. We will improve 4G coverage and invest to ensure all urban areas, as well as major roads and railways, have uninterrupted 5G coverage. On day one we will instruct the National Infrastructure Commission to report on how to roll out "ultrafast" (3000bps) across the UK within the next decade.

Just on a whim, I worked out what numbers of seats the parties would be on if they got the same vote share as Yougov is suggesting they might, and we had proportional representation:

Con: 273
Lab: 247
LD: 58
UKIP: 26
SNP: 26
Green: 13

Can you loving imagine living in that world?

You're so loving desperate that he doesn't win. Notice the two people on this page who wet blankets about any perceived achievement by Corbyn. Oh it's the two that really dislike him.

Both of you are trash and should gently caress off to the Tories.

Yeah it's tiring reading the constant posts taking obvious smug glee in anything that might be bad for Corbyn, followed by the occasional disingenuous 'oo but I do hope I'm wrong!' No one loving believes you. You don't want Labour to win but you just can't bring yourself to admit that you're a Tory. It's laughable, especially when you spend such a significant proportion of you're life in this thread.
