One thing I do know is FPTP is weird, and I'm not sure I like it with a house that has full control over itself, the country and everything else. After the whole brexit shit show I'd like to see some reforms.
380. relaistic.
lol
340 if you're lucky
Fuck off doompill!
Let me think about it.
No
Get real
With the polls suggesting 410+ I am being realistic
The polls are wrong
You tell me where they're going to pick up 125 seats from
Wales, the North of England
40mps from wales, of which 8 are already tory
Ok? The tories are 3% ahead in wales now instead of being 15% behind, that'll translate into a good gathering of seats
13 in wales have less than 10,000 majority to overturn
so that leaves you 112 short
not including the 13 in scotland the tories are likely to lose
They'll also run candidates in the seats that ejected tories held
They're not though
Aberdeen and the borders are going to keep their tories
Not possibly, I live up here, those are going to be retained, Id be very surprised otherwise
and i'm not trying to be unkind, but 410+ is absurd, 380 is still obscenely and unrealistically optomistic
Not according to polling
the polling relies on models that haven't been built to take into account brexit
The polls just ask people what they're voting
yes, it's a sample
Theres a reason they're 15% ahead though
i don't doubt that they're 15% ahead
So whence cometh doubt
how many would be enough to get sht done?
320?
326 required for majority
Brexit has polarised the vote, just because they're 15% ahead in the polls doesn't mean a large majority
Yes it does
It absolutely does
so 340 would be like... everything proposed pretty much gets through... even with a little bit of rebels here and there
Yes, Wacka, and at this stage it's what i'm predicting
and 330 would be most stuff
330 is what Cameron got in 2015
To put it in perspective, Tony Blair won his landslide with a 13% lead
