Um, I know Burney has assured us that everything is ok, but

[Sir C]

Perhaps there is no swing. It's all an illusion.

Yes, I'd say that is a possibility.

[Burney]

Tele reporting the Conservatives lead is down to 1 point, 41 to 40.

This can't be happening. Shirley.

That is an absolutely shît poll with little or no credibility and which is dominated by online social media users (i.e. heavily biased towards 18-25 year-olds).

There have been a couple of very dodgy outlier polls. YouGov, which started all this crap, has form for this and is rapidly losing credibility.

On Friday, there are going to be a lot of awkward questions being asked of certain polling companies.

If you seek reassurance, this is what is taking place on the doorsteps.

Arrogant Tory party getting a bit scared...... when you call an election expecting to walk it, will be a massive shock to the system if they don't get an overall majority at least as big as they had going into the election

One could argue that it would be a bit of an own goal if they do not at least triple their present majority.

[Burney]

Yes, I'd say that is a possibility.

In one sense, the tories will be delighted, as nothing is better calculated to get the tory vote out than the terrifying perception that a Corbyn-led Labour Party will actually be running the country. A lot of waverers or people who've threatened to abstain or make a protest vote will come back into the fold on that basis alone.

The feeling is that anything less than a 70-80 seat majority will be perceived as failure.

How is it you spell the word, Labour. That's so gay.

The last few elections have generally shown that polls leading up to the vote are not to be trusted... exit polls, on the other hand, are almost spost on in the last few elections

Well of course. Pre-election polls record the views of a self-selecting group who want to talk to pollsters. Exit polls involve actual voters.

But in the 80's and 90's the exit polls were miles out... the last few elections have changed that.
