What exactly are they basing this South Cambridgeshire insanity on? Allen’s not running there and the Tories won it by 25 points in 2017 (with the Lib Dems in third).

Same reason Esher and Walton is a tossup: they have data favoring the lib-dems and their targeted campaign style with those demographics in those regions.

As I said earlier iirc 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2017 has seen a lot of people who claim to hate the current leader turn out for Labour in the end- there's a whole range of reasons why, but there is always a chunk of the Labour vote that is both tribal but also hostile to the party.

It appears that 2005 really was about vote efficiency more than anything else. Labour only narrowly won the popular vote but swept most of the swing seats. Did disgruntled labour voters feel more free to vote for another party in safe seats than those who were in marginals?

In 2005 (especially) and also to a significant degree in 2010, the Lib Dems had a huge number of votes locked away in safe Labour seats, primarily due to people who are otherwise down-the-line left-wingers voting against Labour over Iraq (and in 2010 in part due to various Lib Dems promises that were perceived as favorable to those on the left), keeping Labour's popular vote totals down while not affecting their seat counts much at all.

I have some questions about races.

Scotland
- did any seats in Scotland vote leave in the referendum?
- what % of the snp vote voted to leave the European Union. Are they politically homeless with the SNP being so for leaving the uk but staying in EU?

Wales
- Aberconwy has a local council rep for labour who ran in 2017 and reduced the majority from 4-5k to under 1000 votes. The sitting MP has stood down and the tories have a candidate that was introduced in November that lives in Suffolk. Why is the labour candidate not winning?
- Does the remain/tactical vote work with Plaid? I know they did a pack with Liberals and Greens but in races where they get 10% they hurt Labour like Aberconwy.
- Ynys Mon - why is this such a volatile 4 way marginal?

England
- Why are the liberals running candidates in labour seats where they have no chance of winning? (Red wall) Is it true liberals hate labour more than the conservatives and they don’t care who wins so just run the candidate?
- What are the well off remainers who typically vote Tory doing with their vote in the north/midlands? Any Tory remainers moving over?
- why is Loughborough a show me seat? (Predicted virtually every winner). It has a well regarded university but unlike other uni towns) Is Canterbury similar to Loughborough?
- why is the West Midlands so anti-EU? Stoke, Wolverhampton, West Bromwich- labour predicted to lose 10-12 seats here.
- what caused Cornwall seats to swing dramatically to labour? They were always polling very low and in third place and liberals had mps here and it completely changed.

- What happens if Tories win majority and Boris loses in Uxbridge? Who goes to the Queen and asks her to be Prime Minister ?

Courtesy of a Northern Irish poster here:

Quote
Okay, so nearly a week after they said it ought to be out and four days of trickling it out by various media outlets LucidTalk's full poll is out in a form I don't need to buy the Sunday Times or mine deep into twiter for. Excluding Don't Knows they have (with changes compared to GE17):

GPNI 0.1% (-0.7%)
Others* 4.9% (+1.2%)

Aontu, PBP, UKIP, Conservatives, a couple of Indos

Some interesting possibilities raised there, though not sure how much I believe others. Pengelly in third in Belfast South would be delicious, and those are some incredibly tight margins in Belfast East and North Down. Alliance keeping deposits in seventeen seats out of sixteen would be very nice, though some of the other bits that pop up are dubious (for one I'll be very surprised if the SDLP beat either of the DUP and PBP in Belfast West, let alone both, and Aontu beating the UUP in South Belfast...well it sure is something).

Considering how the APNI functions like a mini-Lib-Dem with their vote usually concentrated in Greater East Belfast (Belfast East/South and the Near suburbs in North down), this poll is promising. It's more likely the Alliance does worse than expected outside their home base than the poll projects, and better inside. So there are e potentially two APNI gains here. Other than that, looks like what we normally expect: 2 SDLP gains, and potentially close races in F & S Tyrone and Belfast North.

A result like this would honestly be so heartbreaking. The Alliance so close to breaking through in not just one but four seats, yet falling short in all of them.

I'll try to answer these to the best of my ability. Remember, you have to put yourself in someones shoes and try and look at things from their perspective rather than consider just your own.

Scotland

Banff and Buchan voted for Brexit, at least according to my data. It's a constituency of fishing communities in the highlands that wanted out of the EU's fisheries policy. I'm not sure if there is data on SNP/Brexit voters. However, Brexit is not the most important issue in Scotland, if it was then the Tories would be back at 1. The Yes/No polarization is more determinant these days. Now, this offers some data on your second question. Back before 2014, the SNP's best results were in the Highlands, the same area now swinging hard to the Conservatives. This is partially because the collapse of Scottish Labour handed the SNP a base that they actively could court on all fronts: the corridor between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Their old base was never committed to all the SNP proposals, these same regions voted fiercely against independence. So, some of it was death of the old generation, and some of it was the Oil and Fishing industries looking for parochial parties opposed to the Green/Europhilic parties of the strip.

Wales

Your question about Aberconwy is simple: the seat was previously held by a Tory and it voted for Brexit. Frankly, I'm surprised it's even in the same group of seats as the rest of the northern tossups. Now, sometimes there are things unique to candidates that make MRP less believable in a handful of seats. However, the UK has a proud tradition of airlifting in candidates - locals really only matter when the race is close, or you are a Lib-Dem. Plenty of Tory and Labour MPs never cared about their safe seat until the party said 'you've proven your loyalty, go stand there.'

Now, about Plaid. The PC vote is either incredibly inflexible or incredibly volatile depending on the voter. If you identify as Welsh, speak welsh, and this is your heritage, you will nearly always vote Plaid. Then you have the second group who identify as welsh but without the roots, and are more on the PC's to be against Labour. More of these exist at the local level. They will always hop over and vote differently at the Westminster level. this also answers your question about Ynys Mon, it's a place with a respectable amount of Welsh speakers.

England

If you are a national party, you run or cross-endorse as close to 631 candidates as you can get. Simple. A good number are sacrificial lambs who will never get a penny from the central office, but they are there to earn votes and continue to prove you are a national party. Same thing happens in Canada. the Lib-Dem brand in a good number of places is "not Tory" and "not Labour."

Polling seems to suggest there is a bit of a divergence between Northern ans Southern Tory remainers. Northern remainers have an additional dichotomy between them and their working class neighbors to reinforce their Conservative vote, such a divide is less a factor in the south. But the Tory majorities are larger in the south.

Those seats to the west of Birmingham are very in favor of Leave. Also, Boris's most favorable region is the midlands, at least according to YouGov's opinion polling regions. So take that as you will.

Worth remembering that this MRP estimate is based on a national vote share of Con43/Lab34.

If things turn out to actually be significantly closer than that......

Miss Scarlett - I can respond about what happens if the Conservatives win but Boris loses his own seat. Both from Canadian precedent and because the UK Conservatives have apparently game played the scenario, we have an answer to the question.

Boris Johnson remains Prime Minister until he resigns or is defeated on a motion of no confidence. It is all right for the Prime Minister not to have a seat in Parliament for a short time. It should be noted that UK politicians are not as strongly tied to one area as US politicians, so it is quite common for a long serving politician to move to another constituency, as Johnson himself did since he was MP for Henley before he became Mayor of London and subsequently won his current seat in Greater London.

For example the Earl of Home was appointed Prime Minister on 19 October 1963. He disclaimed his peerages and left the House of Lords on 23 October 1963. As Sir Alec Douglas-Home he was Prime Minister without a seat in Parliament, until winning a by-election to become a member of the House of Commons on 7 November 1963.

I should perhaps also mention that before the 1920s a newly appointed Prime Minister (who was a member of the House of Commons) had to seek re-election in his parliamentary constituency, so it was not unknown for the PM not to be a member of parliament at the first meeting of a new Parliament.

The Canadian precedent I mentioned was in 1945. Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberal Party won the general election but the PM was defeated in his own riding. He continued in office and won a by-election in a new seat.

The UK Conservative plan is believed to be that an MP with a safe seat would be created a peer. That would move the politician to the House of Lords and cause a by-election in the safe seat. Boris Johnson would hope to win the by-election. In the interim Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab would act as Conservative leader in the House of Commons, assuming he won his seat.

If despite expectations, Johnson lost the by-election then he would probably have to resign. There is a precedent from 1964 when Patrick Gordon-Walker lost his seat in the general election but was still appointed Foreign Secretary. He lost a by-election and then resigned.

One of the most visible places of improvement for Labour and the biggest dropoff for the conservatives from two weeks ago in Yougov's model was Scotland. However, I would caution inferring anything from this prediction. Why? Well...

The headline here is that 27 seats, nearly half of Scotland, are considered to be Leaning or Tossup. There is only one safe seat of the entire 59 for any party: Aberdeen North for the SNP. Quite a few seats moved multiple catergories and changed ratings entirely between the polls. Now, lets look back to 2017. About half of the miscalled seats in YouGov's model were in Scotland, with the SNP winning 17 more seats in YouGov's model then in reality.

Back before YouGov dropped their first model I warned that they made two mistakes surrounding their successes: they missed a lot of seats in Scotland (sometimes badly), and underpolled parties that camping on 'targeting' rather than 'playing wide.' So, I'm not arguing in favor of any ideological position. Instead, the shear amount of competitive seats should make it incredibly apparent: YouGov has only a limited idea of whats going on North of the border. This isn't really their fault though. We only have one years worth of data on a 4-party Scottish system compared to the decades down south, every seat having three notable parties at minimum messes with weights when compared to two-party contests in England, and tatical voting among unionists is a serious thing whereas it has only ever occurred in limited capacity in at least 500 seats. All models have Scottish problems though, so it isn't YouGov's fault. Less than one hour in to the 2017 BBC broadcast they say that there is an asterisk in regards to Scotland, since so many seats were projected as uncertain and on knife's edges. Hell, BBC's exit poll gave Gordon to the Lib-Dems, a projection that looks LOL tier in hindsight, but Scotland is just uncertain.

So, the same two warnings from two weeks ago apply. Expect YouGov to be undershooting the targeted parties, and they only have a marginally better idea of whats going on in Scotland when compared to us.

What's interesting here is Tories have almost identical share in each region as in 2017, only change is in each Labour has fallen thus helping Tories seatwise.

Indeed. If the lead is really six and not nine, and the Tories lose three points off these MRP numbers, they aren't even close to a majority after tomorrow. I think a nine point gap is perfectly reasonable, of course, but if the recent controversies make the final results closer to the more Labour-friendly public polls (ComRes, for example), then it will get very interesting. The absolute only reason that the Tories have any shot at the majority is remainer vote-splitting in London and elsewhere. If tactical voting is used well then the Tories could be prevented from getting a majority even with a 7-point national spread.

BoJo by a landslide.  Amongst whites, Tories consistently poll 2% higher than what they have nationally so that puts them around 45%.  Amongst males also somewhat higher than females so Tories around 47-48% amongst white males and considering Labour leading narrowly amongst those with degrees that likely means Tories are north of 50% amongst white males without a college degree.  Off course age is the biggest factor as Tories have massive lead amongst 65+ no matter how you slice the electorate and likewise Labour has massive lead amongst under 35 no matter how you slice the electorate so a 25 year old white male without a college degree probably is more likely to vote Labour than Tory.  But the tipping point age wise for this group is probably early 30s while overall its probably early 40s.

A Corbyn win could damage British economy so badly the Tories will need much harsher austerity to clean up after him.  Only saving grace is no chance of a Corbyn majority so most of his promises won't see light of day.  Most likely if a hung parliament, just PM long enough to see through another referendum and then another election.  May get some policies passed where there is consensus with SNP and Liberal Democrats but ones that go further than both those probably not likely to see light of day in next parliament assuming off course its a hung parliament.  I still think a Tory majority is the most likely outcome.

Black British vote heavily Labour.  While not divided by each race, they use the term BAME which is Black, Asian, and Middle Eastern and most polls show Labour in low 60s, while Tories in low 20s.  Off course within those groups you get variation.  I believe the Chinese community favours the Tories, but they are small enough only have a minor impact, while South Asians and Blacks who are the main non-white groups, they heavily favour Labour.  Its a big problem for the Tories in metropolitan areas.  Also if turnout is high enough could save some of the Birmingham suburban seats as well as some marginals in West Yorkshire that have large BAME populations yet voted heavily leave.

Black British vote heavily Labour.  While not divided by each race, they use the term BAME which is Black, Asian, and Middle Eastern and most polls show Labour in low 60s, while Tories in low 20s.  Off course within those groups you get variation.  I believe the Chinese community favours the Tories, but they are small enough only have a minor impact, while South Asians and Blacks who are the main non-white groups, they heavily favour Labour.  Its a big problem for the Tories in metropolitan areas.  Also if turnout is high enough could save some of the Birmingham suburban seats as well as some marginals in West Yorkshire that have large BAME populations yet voted heavily leave.

The question might not have been entirely serious

Even more importantly: will it rain in British NoVa tomorrow?
