It has conservatives as the least likely for me and quite evenly spready between Labour, Lib Dem and the Greens. I have apreviously always voted conservative.
Do we believe these polls. or just better still await the result?
It sickens me that People want another 5 years of Tory hell!
Goodbye NHS!
If everyone under twenty-five voted then in all probability the Conservatives would not have had a majority government at the last election. According to current YouGov polling there could be less than the dozen seats you mention in it.
If you care about your party winning, whichever it is, you should get out there and vote.
Sadly my vote tomorrow will be very unlikely to make any difference a case of having "any colour as long as its black" :|
29k is median average so yes, £20k is low. Doesn't minimum wage with a full time job get you more than £16k now. According to the IFS if you aren't earning more than 60% of the average wage you are below the poverty line in the Uk now.
There no need to 'smear' JC his 'record' speaks for itself...
The real question is should you vote for Labour under his leadership because 1) He and his allies in the Labour party have made some nice noises recently and 2) in the past few months Labour have some how managed to look slightly less incompetent on the whole then the Tories under May.................
When Corbyn track political record up until recently was firmly on the fringe hard left.............
Bad for defence and security
A man who shared platforms with convicted terrorists in 'solidarity' wants to get rid of Nato and our nuclear weapons systems. Who singles out the Army as the only part of Government spending to be cut (more than the Tories have ever cut defence spending) and calls Hamas and Hezbollah his 'friends'
With a background of being anti police, and who appointment John McDonnel to be the second most important man in his cabinet... a man who wanted to disband MI5, and 'special police squad' and get this 'DISARM' the police!! - imagine how London Bridge would have played out if this lunatic had been in charge -never mind the chaos that would ensue anytime police were called to an incident were criminals were armed!
McDonnell who is also a man who gave a speech on a stage decked out with the Flags of Syria and the Communist Hammer and Sickle (a symbol representing millions of deaths, oppression and totalitarianism which should right be viewed in the light as the Nazi Swastika)
Bad for the economy
His selected shadow Chancellor (McDonnell) is a self confessed Marxist who want to do away with greed and profit but who wont admit it when pressed in public because he knows what the voting public would think.....
Bad for brexit
A man who clearly doesn't know anything about game theory and who would leave us at the mercy of any outrageous EU demands by giving into there demands before we have even started formal negotiations.....
I could go on all night.......
I despise the Tories but at least you know what your getting...... Labour under Corbyn..... a wolf in sheep's clothing..... Know what your voting for and remember nothings 'free' it all has to be costed and paid for somehow (and by someone)... High taxes on the 'rich' just lead to capital flight with the remaining populace impoverished as a result

Anyone staying up tomorrow night? I've got Friday off and a fridge full of beer, Domino's pizza on speed-dial!
Didn't plan a day off after Brexit or the US Election and ended up staying up all night anyway!

Yep, have Friday off work. Will be treating myself to a takeaway. Few beers and snacks to keep me going throughout the night. You can't beat election night.

Yes, I've booked the day off on Friday so I can watch some of the results come in

Whilst the probability is that the methodology of pollsters is correct and a Tory majority is more likely.
However not all can agree on the rate to discount some demographics voting intentions as not converting to actual votes. After brexit and during the negotiations and other headlines the correct formula is difficult IMHO.
It's true, you never really know in truth. The only poll that matters is the one we have tomorrow.

Exactly, there's such a large spread of numbers who the hell knows and ironically the ones getting slagged off the most (Survation in particular) had the 2015 election spot on.
Working on Friday - But I'm sure I will stay up to watch it. If it becomes more of a sure thing during the night, I might switch off
