And would’ve got several more (around 13 I believe) with one form of PR based on their vote share.There was the same sort of noise around UKIP, they ended up getting 1 seat.

I think his immediate predecessor is also very much of the opinion that she was right and everyone else was wrong as well, to be fair.Sunak will believe that he is right, and we are wrong (or rather, irrelevant), he is conditioned to do so. Like his predecessor but one, they will never doubt their own abilities and thoughts.
I didn’t mean exit polls; but rather those from the likes of YouGov and Ipsos polling voting intentions in the lead up to elections. There’s some interesting stuff from the LSE available showing voting intentions compared to votes received over the last 5 or so decades. Tories consistently outperform polled stated voting intentionsIs that true? Didn’t the last two exit polls nail it within a handful of seats?
Dreadful turnout. The actual number of votes for Labour in Wellingborough went up by 107. (13,844 yesterday to 13,737 in 2019). In Kingswood the vote for Labour went down by 5,316 (11,176 yesterday, 16,492 in 2019)
The Conservative vote has, unsurprisingly, collapsed. The "Can't be bothered to vote" party is winning hands down.

One party should just use that: 'THREE WORD SLOGAN'Historically, whoever comes up with the best 3 word slogan
Since they tweaked methods this isn’t the case anymore is it? 5 decades has seen a massive change in how polling works. The polls before the 2019 election nailed it.I didn’t mean exit polls; but rather those from the likes of YouGov and Ipsos polling voting intentions in the lead up to elections.

Trouble is, most of those have been done. For real – without a HINT of irony/sarcasm/humour.SEND THEM BACK
PROTECT OUR BORDERS
NO NEW TAXES
STOP THE SCROUNGERS
GENDER CANNOT CHANGE
LABOUR ISN'T WORKING
OVEN READY DEAL
LIFE MEANS LIFE
WHAT ABOUT CORBYN
RELEASE THE BATS
That was my point.Trouble is, most of those have been done. For real – without a HINT of irony/sarcasm/humour.
Have you ever seen such a sore loser?….
HARRY FOR PM!That was my point.
I much prefer your list.
Indeed. Under PR we would be looking at potentially getting a lot of seats for less popular parties some of which would be welcome, some not. Under FPTP Labour should win by default.This is what continues to worry me.
Who will they vote for when they can be bothered to vote.
It was arrogance from the Conservatives. They recalled Peter Bone because of his sexual activities, and instead of finding a suitable candidate, the local Tories chose his girlfriend, because of threats from him that he would stand as an independent. By staying away the staunch Conservatives showed the local party members what they thought of that. Abstention is a valid 'vote'.Dreadful turnout.

Yeah, but it didn't fit my narrativeI think his immediate predecessor is also very much of the opinion that she was right and everyone else was wrong as well, to be fair.
It is but the Bone and his girlfriend business doesn't apply to Kingswood. Perhaps I am posting on the wrong thread but I would think that Labour should be extremely worried that people are not enthused enough to come out and vote for them yet.It was arrogance from the Conservatives.
