I'd be curious to see what the election map would look like with this breakdown in the vote. Is there a place where you can plug in numbers and get a theoretical UK election map, or at least a blank PNG file of the constituencies?

Thanks!

Okay, here's a map of the 2015 general with universal "Atlas" swing to match the results of this poll:

Fwiw my voting strategy would be: Labour across the board where they are competitive (even for loathsome MPs), Lib Dems in the Lib-Con marginals, whichever of Lib and Lab is more likely to defeat separatists in Wales and Scotland and non-sectarian candidates in NI.

If you don't mind me asking, what seat do you live in and what are its dynamics?

I'd probably vote Liberal Democrat in most seats.
I have to imagine you probably wouldn't. Corbyn isn't much to the left of Sanders.

Lol.

Sanders is pretty much a mainstream social democrat who's not afraid of leftist labels. Corbyn is a nut.

Yes, 35.5% of Atlas is voting for "a nut". That makes sense!

I mean... it does.

Whichever one is promising to cancel Brexit

Lib Dem, then, but also ayy lmao for thinking there's a chance in hell of that.

I thought Labour was overwhelmingly in favor of Remain?

On paper, at least, they are, but they're not "~promising to cancel Brexit~".

Well that's dumb. Brexit only barely won and the losing side was horrified. Making a single issue "This is your second chance to stay in the EU!!!" seems like it would be a great way to galvanize voters and get them to the polls.

It would be stupid, too, and make labour lose their base, but ok.

It would also be stupid, to reverse the vote of a democratic referendum.

If they campaign on canceling Brexit and win, then the people have spoken that they don't want Brexit anymore.

I figure at this point, Brexit is pretty much inevitable. Knowing this, I want it to happen with the absolute maximum amount of kicking, screaming, and foot-dragging from the (former) remain camp.
