And presumably that's not taking tactical voting into account.

It's probably why johnson is in full panic mode  :)

The sample ended today 105000 people.  He should be nervous rightly so, we could easily be on course for no winners all around.

If that poll is right, all it needs is a few thousand Lab and LD supporters to do the sensible thing and vote tactically across 15-20 seats and Johnson is toast.

That means folk holding their nose and voting for not their first preference but against the Tories.

If only Andrew Neil could empty chair him tomorrow night, spend half an hour highlighting all the unanswered questions

I've cast my tactical postal vote. I had to hold my nose to do it. But I did it. For the good of the country :)

  If 60 yrs old is the new 40 yrs old, is 20 yrs old the new 10 yr old and shouldn't be allowed to vote until they are 30yrs old and their brains have developed?

To be fair some 60 year olds clearly haven't developed.

Very close in a number of key seats.

If you are Labour in Don Valley, Rother Valley or Bassetlaw.......make sure friends and family get out to vote.
Give people a lift, don't wake up on Friday and regret not doing it.

But what if the people who you give a lift to vote for someone other than a Labour.
You are assuming everyone thinks like you do albie.

Youv'e lost me, Hound. I wasn't assuming any such thing.

I said "if you vote Labour", and people needing help to vote should be assisted.

Most of the people needing that help are likely in those seats to be past Labour voters.
How they might choose to vote is for the privacy of the polling station.

No, you didn’t say “if you vote Labour” you said “if you are Labour”.
You didn’t in the first post, say anything about the people you were advocating others to give a lift to being former labour voters.
I just said that the people given a lift might vote for someone else.
I am guessing that on Friday morning you would be gutted if you had helped Labour to be beaten.

  Sydney, for the first time in my long life, that is the first time I have ever seen the need for labour voters to be encouraged to get out and vote in those constituencies because they absolutely need to.
  I suggest there is a little hint there somewhere.

Interesting.

When the polls opened this morning, the best price you could get on a Tory majority was 1/3.

Now it's gone out to 4/9. Pretty much every bookie is lengthening the odds.

Still big favourite of course, but...

We don't know that actually.

There's research been done that suggests it takes an inch of rain on polling day to knock 1% off the turnout, and there's no evidence it benefits any party.

Just another myth from years ago. Been a lot of that on here recently.

I think the Turnout will be big, I’ve not seen the amount of cars outside our polling station before

   I do think it's going to be close and for once i agree with Filo.You would have thought with our Politics in the state it's in, the turnout would be low but maybe people want to go out and protest vote against their normal party...

   I guess the exit Poll once the polls close will be the first major clue..

They do it as a matter of course.

It's about ticking off known supporters so that activists don't waste time door knocking people who have already voted. Happens everywhere.

Milliband is not going to lose.

Social media tells us it's a labour landslide, of course they are more vocal but it reminds me of the last few elections. The left and labour are brilliant at vocally supporting their side on the day.
