Election predictions??

[Billy Goat Sverige]

I'm going to say the polls are completely wrong (again) and the youngsters won't go out and vote. Labour to get below 200 seats.

Burney to vote Tory

Young people may vote, but they will do so in concentrations like University towns where it will make no difference. It's entirely possible, in fact, that Labour's vote share could go up on 2015's but they still lose a shedload of seats. That'd give them something to moan about.

The fact that the polling is bloody appalling makes predictions very difficult, but I'd say a majority of anything over 50 is a pretty solid bet.

Yes, I'm suspecting that the wobble in the polls was a backlash against the worst Tory manifesto I have ever seen, but everyone's settled down again now.

80 seat majority.

I have to say I was a big buyer of May's prior to the election campaign.

I'm now hoping she's a much better PM than a campaigner.

Really? I have never been particularly impressed with her, but since she has revealed herself to be some sort of undercover socialist, I fear for our future.

She is guilty of something. That photo of her with Sturgeon made me say that Sturgeon had nice legs

Her sole schtick is 'safe pair of hands' and she's fvcked it by running the shoddiest Tory campaign since the early 2000s.

I fear for the country with the amount of splinters she must have up her arse from all the fence sitting she does...... strong and stable my arse

Another way of looking at it is not that they've run a shoddy campaign, but that for the first time in memory they've known they can push through policies that are disliked by their core voter base and still get away with it come polling day. This is most evident in their social care policy, which seems to be to be a policy that someone of a left-leaning persuasion would ordinarily fully support, if it were not the Tories who were proposing it.
