Question for you guys: do you know of any good books on the history of the UK Left? I’ve been trying to learn more about it, but I’m not sure where to look. Maybe some Verso stuff or something?

660k registered today.

If I'm recalling correctly, I think this makes us about 1.75 million ahead of the 2017 election run-up in total.

EDIT: Holy poo poo 460k of those were under 35.

Was that 660k today? Or yesterday? Looks like it's only showing 11/25

The relative hype around this MRP release is crazy.

Here’s Owen Jones’ take on it, which seems a little worrying

Poll question for you guys: why was the yougov poll saying that a 7-point tory lead was hung parliament territory? In 2017 there was only a 2 pt tory lead, and it looked like it just barely ended up as a hung parliament (with some seats being decided on the order of dozens of votes). Has the balance of public opinion shifted across seats? Or is something else up?

FPTP metrics : win half the seats with 100% of the vote, lose half of them with 49% of the vote. If the swing doesn't quite win a seat it may as well never have occured there.

also they'll be increasing their vote share by a greater amount in areas they already do well in, less so in areas they don't

I see. So it’s kind of like the US popular vote in that respect? Like with +5pts in britain wide polling, a couple points of that could go into juicing Corbyn and Abbott’s margins or something?

But also wouldn’t -5pts from GE2017 also make labour a lot more likely to lose the ultra marginals like Canterbury or Kensington? Or is the result in those not so necessary to the hung parliament status?
