Aren't these usually heavily skewed by historical data? Like how good the turnout for those parties was in the previous elections?

So if say there had been a genuinely popular leader in 2017 and 2019, wouldn't that lead to falsely inflated predictions for a slab of perpetually worried ham with the charisma of a depressed accountant?

Seems to be about the same as the rest of the Europe, as you'd expect with punitive rate hikes over the last couple of years. I guess it's how quick the UK recovers vs EU that would be an indicator of anything?

There's no problem, I fully support his stance, and I find it hilarious that everything is going bad for Keith. I posted his face because he has the perfect smug face.

Turnout in previous elections is pretty much all we have to predict future turnout. I think MRP did quite well in 2017 but also think it's likely that it is underestimating Tory turnout this time mainly due to the number of people saying they are undecided or may not vote which is far higher than normal.

It has to be asked when the push really comes to shove, will those who are saying they are undecided or won't vote but have voted Tory at the last ten general elections turn out as usual. My money is on most of them doing so.

Polls really need to have two options:

- don’t know or care enough to vote

- know and care too much to let me vote for any of these cunts

I’d guess 70% of so of this forum is in the second group; to what degree is it nationally significant?

Pretty sad if Starmer does something pathetic that causes people to join that group, and gets only the feedback ‘Tories more popular this week; better copy them harder’.

That's why you say you'll vote Green or for some exciting lefty fringe weirdo

Otherwise there's nothing but tumbleweed to the left of Labour

This would be more comforting if they weren't doing the same about Corbyn in 2019. Even when the man on the street agrees with you it's probably for the wrong reasons. Yes I am very Eeyore about politics at the moment and following it is terrible for my mental health.

Anyway, hey UKMT, today is your last chance to vote for who will be trustees of the Solidarity Fund that does such fantastic work keeping goons alive because the sixth richest country in the world has maxed out its credit card and just can't afford to!

I always end up voting Green, and I will never not vote, but I sure wish that vote did or meant anything.

I was thinking about how I'd vote if we had a STV system. Would I even rank Labour or just leave their box blank? Genuinely would struggle to decide where to put them vs the tories.
