I'm going 80-90 seat Tory majority (unfortunately)
Hung parliament. Jezza to lead a coalition of the willing.

The 'commentatators' are generally saying that the Tories will remain in power (Unfortunately)
I'm hoping but not expecting 'a hung parliament'

If that happens, the Remainers will be proved right, as Brexit will be a ****ing disaster.

A troubled period of either right wing pandering continued cost cutting with a leading that's good on the attack but cant cope when on back foot or a socialists orgasm of spending, tax hikes and nationalisations etc either set to the back drop of coming out the single market.

This sounds like a good guess. Polls have historically underestimated the Tory vote. May will win comfortably.
I hope my prediction is as accurate as my '60-40 Remain' and 'Trump to get trounced' predictions; Just for how funny it would be to see someone call an election for purely party political reasons and end up having to resign. The worst case scenario for the Tories is surely them being the largest party, but without a majority. However, this outcome would surely see May's leadership fatally holed, providing the possibility that, even when losing, Jeremy Corbyn could last long enough to have seen off three Conservative Party leaders.
Really ?? That's a very strange prediction !
Comfortable win for May then staggering onwards into a disastrous no deal Brexit. Jolly Dee.
Tory majority of about 45 seats - hopefully
"Brexit" (god how I hate that unnecessarily-divisive word) goes ahead as voted for by the UK - and everyone is surprised as to how good it will be for us all - hopefully
Labour party moves back to the centre ground and Corbyn et al are consigned to history - hopefully
I am very much aware that not everyone will agree with me here, but you did ask =0)

My hunch is no change in our three seats.
Cons to win with a majority of 60

I think Conservatives 20-25 seat majority. Theresa May weakened as a leader in the eyes of most, defeating her primary object of calling the election, but I don't think it'll change the manner or outcome of Brexit: the Tory majority in the House was always a red herring.

As a natural Tory voter (by this I mean - to paraphrase - "It's the economy stupid" as the economy needs to be successful to fund everything else), I hope that TM gets back in even though she does not inspire me, but then again, nor does Corbyn as he's promising too much which he can't deliver. However, this election is really so tough to call. Is there really going to be a fundamental change and an engagement by the young in voting or will they just do the just to the usual and protest/complain and then not bother?
I could envisage a Tory landslide (100 +), or a small Tory minority or even a hung parliament.
At least this is interesting even though we're not all going to be happy.

Sadly 20 seat majority for May, country staring into the abyss. We're gonna learn the hard way
20-30 Tory majority.............May damaged by her rubbish performance, fails to recover and ousted as leader within a couple of years. Labour's better than expected performance means Jezza stays as leader, but the party ends up destroying itself as a result meaning no credible opposition, which is a bad thing.
I predict a combination of May not being able to handle negotiations and the party increasingly red faced at her fumbling attempts and humiliating scenes at negotiations that she will step down from leadership in the next 6 months.
