Would it be possible or plausible for the Tories to get 390+ seats?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Approval/disapproval, I think.

re: the national government?

No, Corbyn

What's causing the sudden swing in momentum from the Tories to Labour?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Yeah, May just possibly blew what could have been the greatest Torie win since Thatcher and Major into possibly a Hung Parliament or weak Torie majority.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Now before everyone gets excited, just note that the Tories are still above Blair's 1997 PV total and is still on track to a comfortable majority. Yes, the manifestos did this but May is the one to make the best out of a terrible situation.

It's rather funny to see LibertarianRep go from asking what the hell is going on to confidently predicting the political demise of another nation's Prime Minister though. I entered those numbers into the Electoral Calculus calculator (no idea how accurate that is, it could be terrible for all I know) and it came up with the Tories gaining 30 seats.

I wasn't predicting really, I was just commenting on how May and the Tories are basically atm blowing what could have been close to if not Thatcher level results for them with a horrible manifesto.

The polarization between young people (Labour) and old people (Tory) is really interesting and worrying at the same time.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

What are the chances for a Hung parliament. When I first brought it up I got laughed at and told May would win 400 seats!

I will still stick to my hung parliament to conservative majority of 30 prediction.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Weren't there two? One for Battersea and one for Brighton Pavilion?

So many weird wedge issues in the UK. Fox hunting..trident there is virtually no threat of nuclear war right now or the near future, the concept of MAD is obsolete.

Is Fox Hunting really a wedge issue though? Don't the vast majority of people oppose it though?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Apparently the latest Survation poll done by phone says Tories 41%, Labour 40% - fielded June 2-3

The one before had Conservatives at 40% and Labour at 39% on June 3rd.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

So, based on the polls, we're looking at a Hung parliament or small Tory majority up to a Tory majority of 80+? But most likely a modest Tory majority
