    Just filled in my postal vote.

    After a great deal of consideration, I have voted Labour.

    I am personally hoping for a hung Parliament.

    Seems like a possibility at least.

    In reality, the Tory share of the vote has held remarkably stable, the recent labour climb hasn't been at the expense of a corresponding Tory drop but rather a corresponding UKIP, Lib Dem and 'Other' drop.

    I don't hold much weight in the 'shy Tory voter' this time around - is someone really going to prefer to say 'I vote Corbyn' before 'I vote May'? Nah.

    However, a drastic swing to Labour in the 5 weeks since the local elections will only be devastating to May's leadership. She has been found out - she refuses to engage with the public and that looks like it is becoming a problem right when it matters.

    No deity, No.

    I reckon David Davis would have a go.

    A slim Tory majority is the best outcome, a landslide would turn the Tories into UKIP on steroids, a Corbyn win would turn the UK into a basket case, checks and balances... effective government, effective opposition.

    started a topic Today's yougov poll

    Today's yougov poll

    One polled over the past couple of days using their conventional method rather than the one predicting a hung parliament, puts the Tory lead over Labour down to 3 points

    CON: 42% (-1)
    LAB: 39% (+3)
    LDEM: 7% (-2)
    UKIP: 4% (-)

    https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/05/31...our-39-30-31-/

    Polled after the Paxman interview, but before tonight's TV debate - I can only imagine May's no-show at the TV debate will bring that in a bit further.

    Of course, this could be Yougov bluster, but chances are the 'huge majority' was always overstated. I still expect a Tory win, but no landslide. It is looking like May's gamble will not pay off.

    Ladbrokes still have a Tory 'most seats' at 1/12 and a Tory majority at 1/5.
