If that poll is correct then it translates into seats as follows:

Electoral Calculus prediction of seats in UK parliament

Labour 202
Brexit Party 141
Lib Dem 119
Conservative 110
SNP 55

oh dear

So a coalition government of Labour/Lib Dem/SNP.

That's how democratic the UK is the 4th biggest party gets the most seats

[TestMangler]

Never to be forgotten.

Absolutely. Of the 311 votes cast supporting the motion, the only ones that actually counted were the 11 SNP ones. Even the labour abstention wouldn't have made a difference, or the SDLP abstention.

I assume you're referring to the SNP supporting the no confidence motion of 1979 ??

Never to be forgotten.

The scary thing about that poll is the trend with the Brexit party sinking and the Liberal Democrats rising, in other words the question mark in the EU elections on which side did better has been removed.

be afraid

I can be afraid.

As long as I am not very afraid....

Lies, damn lies, and statistics. And OldSmeg posts.....

There is a whole world out there that is beyond the grasp of your pitifully limited intellect.

[BrilloPad]

So they basically fudge the results until they get the result somewhere close to what they want and then publish.

I guess that must be how it looks to a paranoid cretin like you. I've tried to help you today but you are beyond help.

Just saying.

But they still will not get as many seats (under the FPTP system) as either Labour or the OCnservatives and probably not many more than the SNP - from the same You Gov link) ]You Gov - Lib Dems lead the polls

Once again heavily weighted in favour of the south of England, of the 1763 people sampled, 763 ( 43%) live in London(18% of the 763) or the South, 407 (23%) live in the Midlands/Wales, 429 (24%) live in the NORTH, and 164 (9%) liv in Scotland. Just saying!

YouGov weights GB political surveys by (1) age interlocked with gender and education, (2)
political attention (3) social grade (4) 2017 recalled vote interlocked with region and (5) EU
referendum recalled vote. Weighting targets are YouGov estimates, data sources used in the
calculation of targets are cited below. General election voting intention figures are additionally
weighted by likelihood to vote. The poll was carried out online.
YouGov Weighting Data
All polls are subject to a wide range of potential sources of error. On the basis of the historical
record of the polls at recent general elections, there is a 9 in 10 chance that the true value of a
party’s support lies within 4 points of the estimates provided by this poll, and a 2 in 3 chance that
they lie within 2 points.

Just saying.
