If opposing that is being on my high horse, then you've got me you're taking that post far too seriously, have a laugh at yourself and others now and again.

Any advice you can offer? We only went for one day to Chartier, it rained on and off all day but we still got to see a lot of tennis. Book lunch if you can afford it otherwise its a hot dog or a massive queue for some of the cafes. However the queues may have been worse because of the rain.

aaid Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @britainelects: Projection national vote share: CON: 38% (+3) LAB: 27% (-2) LDEM: 18% (+7) UKIP: 5% (-8) (via John Curtice) Chgs. w/ 2015. Would be interesting if that turned out to be the case on 8th June. That 18% LDEM could be enough to see them pick up a few seats and put a dent into the Tories majority. Might not be the landslide that's being predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too. Labour analysts made a similar mistake after the 2011 Holyrood election. Because the Lib Dem vote dropped by the same % as the SNP's rose they assumed those voters had moved straight over, when in fact Labour were haemorrhaging votes to the SNP and it was dissatisfied Libs who were propping up Labour.

Bristolhibby Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) His Mande me laugh from twitter (if it wasn't so tragic). Excellent #LocalElections17 results for UKIP though, as they win overall control of Tory policy.
