Yeah. Being honest, I don't know the people running for the seat, but I know which party I will be voting for.
I probably should have done a little research on that topic, but I can't see me not voting for Labour.

I usually go around lunch time. Never have any queues. Would assume anything during normal working hours is better than anything else.
What constituency are you in?
On Diane Abbott
Diane Abbott is black?! It takes some doing, considering his sister is rather blessed, but Giles successfully manages to be the biggest tit in the Coren family.

Yeah vote Labour, it's between Labour and SNP there with minimal risk of Conservatives getting a look in - if you support Labour like your previous post suggests that is. If Labour can nick that seat it would obviously be a bonus but failing that it'll be the SNP anyway.
How dare she not know a word for word account of a report from October 2016.
When was she made shadow home secretary?
I feel bad for Diane and think McDonnell should be less of a coward and come out for some interviews, but it was a bit of a car crash again.
His office is a coalition of chaos.
That video will certainly gain him a lot of votes

I'm in the same constituency. I've always voted Labour and after meeting Gordon Munro and reading a bit about him I'll be voting them again. It's expected to be a comfortable SNP hold with the tories beating Labour into second which would be sad.Edinburgh North and Leith
Diane Abbott is not qualified to be a secretary, let alone an MP or a senior minister. The woman embodies incompetence and the phrase 'out of your depth'.
How anyone who supports Labour or any non-Tory party can want her anywhere near power is beyond me.

I thought they were keeping her away from interviews.
Today's interview just leaves you shaking your head in disbelief.
I know Labour have had a recent surge but I think there might be a even bigger climb-down come election night than in 2015.
I just feel the narrative of Jeremy Corbyn appealing to huge swathes of the same people in the same place is the most likely case given doorstep anecdotes.
And it will leave us with the biggest ever political lottery winner May as PM.

Talking to people in Hull at the weekend i am confident in saying he has no chance.
She was being set up and still fell for it. It was so obvious what was going to happen, and yet... it happened.
Truthfully i am hoping that corbyn wins and starts a reshuffle of the party straight away.
In the interest of depressing everyone, these crude tools you get for seat predictions still give the Tories about a fifty seat lead (but no majority) with those figures.
I don't think anyone's genuinely expecting a Labour victory as such, to be fair...simply not getting a Tory majority would be absolutely massive for all its implications during Brexit etc. Still doubt it'll happen but if there's movement in other polls they'll be extremely worried.
So they've got the same margin with their phone poll as their online one, interesting as there's usually a bit of a gap. ICM had one out today with broadly the same dates that was at +11 still, so the methodology gap remains. This time in three days time we should have an idea who was closest.
Still expect Conservatives to win with a slightly bigger majority.
Too many "shy tories".
I fear a lot of my friends are hopeful.
I think I read on another forum that ICM make the crude assumption that roughly 50% of UKIP vote is going to the Tories which drives the large gap.
When we say high, how high are we talking? There'll almost certainly be an increase but if it was around 40% (I think in 2015) then it'll maybe just bridge 50% this time. So I'd be interested to see what they mean by a high turnout.
I'd say that's a reasonable assumption from them. Surprised it's as low as 50% actually, to be honest.
Low youth turnout has been typical for basically every election in the last 30 years.
Whether or not they'll turn out because there's something different to vote for this time remains to be seen.

It's amazing how the youth of this country shoot themselves in the foot by not voting. You cannot whinge if you refuse to take destiny in your own hands.
It's particularly infuriating for me since I cannot vote but really wanted to in the general elections. I just didn't expect May to u-turn that soon and was late in going for citizenship.
Also, from what I've read about the high youth turnout, I think it usually means in line with other voting groups e.g. c.70%.

As I said above, I think there'll be an increase but it'll probably be a fairly slight one.
I'll eat Paddy Ashdown's entire collection of hats if it's that high.
Yup, Survation had a very bad end to the 2015 election as well so will be bricking it that bit more. ICM at least got the EU referendum about right. ComRes need a win.Someone's reputation will be down the shiter.
Not that I'm aware of, the difference is that they model turnout based on the past voting behaviour of each respondent, whereas Survation go by how likely the respondent says they are to vote on a scale of 0-10.
