Does that weird period where the TV and radio has to pretend they don't know there's an election on apply from midnight on election day or just when the polls are open?
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Starts in 45 minutes (half twelve).
Not sure it would save them to be honest, as it would still get about 10,000 retweets and be an easily checkable part of their record. But they should also remember after 2015 that an outlier final poll that contracts what everyone else is saying isn't necessarily wrong.
Thought he was onto something there, but the restrictions happen at 12.30.
Survation's poll should be out in next 10 mins.
Meh.
Holy hell!!!
Interesting
Not enough decimal places.
They got it right but didn't publish last time out. We'll see how good they are this time.
If they're right that's a rather tasty poll, but seems fairly meh in the context of a possible Corbyn lead.
Depends on margin of error, but that's very close.
Basically your friends, family and workmates are the good guys, everyone else who votes Tory are the bad guys, that's how it works. So on the plus side your part of the righteous rebel alliance, on the down side you're going to lose. And that's how it (Britain) works.
This is the first time I don't want to vote Tory, but there is a Labour party I want to vote against, politics eh...
My suspicion is those thinking they're avoiding publicity are probably right and they were waiting until Newsnight was over.
So that is a 0.2% drop for the Tories in comparison to their last one and no change for Labour, if I'm remembering right.
And given the pretty contrasting economic visions on offer, we as the voters deserved to see both Hammond and McDonnell interrogated more.
The Tories...don't really have much new to sell, whereas Labour were probably concerned about the personal baggage.
I should have been clearer, although your interpretation could also be applied from y perspective. My earlier meaning, was that they would 'fudge' the act Brexit itself, by enact so weak a Brexit as to amount to little genuine change. This isn't really the thread, but what you seem to be forgetting is that we've not been treated rather shabbily ourselves. We're in a stupid game of brinkmanship, one which we can hopefully move on from soon.
That poll basically has the tories and Labour neck and neck going in to the polls? Are they less reliable than yougov or more or about the same?
No one knows who's reliable anymore. From what I know Survation got it close in 2015 but the likes of ICM who have double figure leads etc are generally thought of as alright too. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.
If Corb did manage to form a government on Friday (or at least have enough seats to make it feasible), he'd have done it without leading in a single poll for a year.
Express up to their old tricks again

Labour's pollster
Possibly explains the "sources from Labour HQ expect defeat" stories.

in a stoned haze about 3 weeks ago i must have got swept up in corbynmania and somehow managed to put £62.50 on corbyn to be prime minister after the election. feck knows what came over me, but as i top up my wages with gambling that money is basically business money to me (that's how i look at it) and there is abviously a good chance that i have pissed it away, of course it was on paddy power so i don't even have a cash out option. So, that explains why i am more nervous than most about the results.
Has to be done!
Gets me every time!Ouch.
Last public one.
Ok
Average looks to be about +7/8 then.
Come on survation...
I'm optimistic.
What are these numbers that YouGov etc produce? I'm sorry I'm shite, I've seen them before just forgotten.
It's been out for a while now. No change, Cons 1 ahead.
I reckon 10 point Tory win. Corbyn to resign.
Heard this morning that the reason for the spread is due to pollsters using different turnout values for the young. Sound accurate?
