    Dare we start to hope?

    I don’t think we need to hope. Unless footage emerges of Starmer biting the heads off babies, he’ll win. And he’s not that interesting. A house brick could get the win at this point.

    I think the key will be the size of the majority and it look like it might be massive, which is a pity as there will be no need to compromise with anyone inside or outside his party and his possession as leader will be unassailable (Andy Burnham won’t take another run at the top spot unless it’s pretty much in the bag).

    So I will likely celebrate the Tory loss on the night but then the reality will disappoint me. A bit like 1997 but faster.

      Oh I don’t dare underestimate the change in public opinions when it’s election time and suddenly their vote is close and they have to think. I know it happened for Labour in 2017 and a bit in 2019, but it can happen either way.

      Don’t get me wrong, Labour could coast into a comfy majority the way things are looking atm.

      And those poor Lib Dems, I do think they are being underestimated by the models, but it doesn’t look amazing for them eh.

        They always get hammered by FPTP but I follow politics and they really aren’t on the radar - the Tories have made such a mess and Starmer is trying to play the grown-up in the room and there’s just no oxygen for left for them.

          It does depend on how much people just ‘go labour’ because thats the ‘not tory’ vote, and how many look at their constituency and see Lib Dems in second, Labour can’t actually fight everywhere with ground game, and in many places they won’t really want to mand Lib Dems can and will do.

          I haven’t played with the tactical voting bit of Electoral Calculus mostly because it is a nationwide value and the regions will differ so much in who they vote if they are voting ‘not tory’. Wales and North go Labour far more just as a baseline, East, South and South-West go Lib Dem more but not in cities, London does Labour, Lib Dem and Green in different ratios depending on borough.

          It’s all a bit of a fun nightmare to try that’s also a guess and there’s no public tools (I know of) to try it even if you wanted to, which I kinda do; as any level of tactical voting hammers the Tories even more than these predictions and that’s always fun to see.
