No

2019-10-29 23:36:05 UTC  

Get real

2019-10-29 23:36:22 UTC  

With the polls suggesting 410+ I am being realistic

2019-10-29 23:36:29 UTC  

The polls are wrong

2019-10-29 23:36:54 UTC  

You tell me where they're going to pick up 125 seats from

2019-10-29 23:37:16 UTC  

Wales, the North of England

2019-10-29 23:38:11 UTC  

40mps from wales, of which 8 are already tory

2019-10-29 23:39:13 UTC  

Ok? The tories are 3% ahead in wales now instead of being 15% behind, that'll translate into a good gathering of seats

2019-10-29 23:39:25 UTC  

13 in wales have less than 10,000 majority to overturn

2019-10-29 23:39:41 UTC  

so that leaves you 112 short

2019-10-29 23:40:00 UTC  

not including the 13 in scotland the tories are likely to lose

2019-10-29 23:40:02 UTC  

They'll also run candidates in the seats that ejected tories held

2019-10-29 23:40:07 UTC  

They're not though

2019-10-29 23:40:22 UTC  

Aberdeen and the borders are going to keep their tories

2019-10-29 23:40:37 UTC  

possibly

2019-10-29 23:41:03 UTC  

Not possibly, I live up here, those are going to be retained, Id be very surprised otherwise

2019-10-29 23:41:06 UTC  

and i'm not trying to be unkind, but 410+ is absurd, 380 is still obscenely and unrealistically optomistic

2019-10-29 23:41:17 UTC  

Not according to polling

2019-10-29 23:41:47 UTC  

the polling relies on models that haven't been built to take into account brexit

2019-10-29 23:42:18 UTC  

The polls just ask people what they're voting

2019-10-29 23:42:33 UTC  

yes, it's a sample

2019-10-29 23:43:01 UTC  

Theres a reason they're 15% ahead though

2019-10-29 23:43:13 UTC  

i don't doubt that they're 15% ahead

2019-10-29 23:44:05 UTC  

So whence cometh doubt

2019-10-29 23:44:08 UTC  

how many would be enough to get sht done?

2019-10-29 23:44:10 UTC  

320?

2019-10-29 23:44:18 UTC  

326 required for majority

2019-10-29 23:44:33 UTC  

Brexit has polarised the vote, just because they're 15% ahead in the polls doesn't mean a large majority

2019-10-29 23:45:06 UTC  

Yes it does

2019-10-29 23:45:11 UTC  

It absolutely does

2019-10-29 23:45:13 UTC  

so 340 would be like... everything proposed pretty much gets through... even with a little bit of rebels here and there

2019-10-29 23:45:27 UTC  

Yes, Wacka, and at this stage it's what i'm predicting

2019-10-29 23:45:47 UTC  

and 330 would be most stuff

2019-10-29 23:46:00 UTC  

330 is what Cameron got in 2015

2019-10-29 23:46:23 UTC  

To put it in perspective, Tony Blair won his landslide with a 13% lead

2019-10-29 23:47:05 UTC  

immma make a prediction....

2019-10-29 23:47:14 UTC  

tory win... with ... 338 seats

2019-10-29 23:47:23 UTC  

i predicted we wouldn't be leaving on oct 31st on no deal

2019-10-29 23:47:41 UTC  

Is that supposed to be an impressive prediction
