General Election June 8th

Labour to win less than 200 seats. Conservative to win 80+

Prof John Curtice on the radio just after the election was announced explained that the original projections gave her a 170-190 seat majority on a 20% + swing to Tory. However he went on to say if that slipped so did the majority and getting around mid teens resulted in only a slight increase in what she went into the election with and single figures should really worry her. From the numbers being quoted now I would say no overall majority is looking likely

The number 50 is around where i was thinking too.

Why? Can you explain the rationale behind choosing that figure?

Imagine her wee face when she wakes up Friday and it's all gone arse over tits. If she loses I would love to serve her breakfast.

Strong and Stable hard cheese.

Fired out a specially designed cheese bazooka.

I would be happy to do so when back on later - I will derive it from the Labour Party's own canvassing so there can be no consideration of bias.

Meanwhile are you in a position to state your objective projection at this moment?

Just a feeling.

In 92 *** *** put out a fear mongering front page on the eve of the election. They've done it again today. The Gumby voters will just scan that and vote accordingly.

I would like to see that outcome.

It would be the Sergio moment of elections if Labour did.

I suspect Tories are already engineering May will step down on "ill health" not long after. And we end up with the same position of an unelected PM signing off Brexit.
