Electoral Calculus's results on if the local election results were replicated in the general election.

I understand that the local elections are a rough gauge of the national vote, and that EC is not fully reliable either. However, if the polling is ignored and the fundamentals of the race are what the predictions are based on, the results would probably look something like this. This is a Tory majority of 118 seats.

Those classic fundamentals: assuming nothing happened in the past month at all and that campaigns are irrelevant....

Perhaps campaigns have an impact on the margins but it'd have to have  one hell of an impact to make up that difference. And given what happened to Cleggmania and Milifandom the Corbyn surge will probably be  just another nothing burger. .

Could you reupload that image to the Atlas site, those of us who don't have Alternatehistory accounts can't see it.

I can't right now but I will do so when I can. It gives the Tories 384 seats and Labour 187.
