My constituency, as predicted elsewhere too, likely to go to Labour:

Inputting the figures from the you gov poll into Electoral Calculus (which works out how many seats each party gets as a result) gives the following seat breakdown. Not very likely im sure (but still possible) but a fun out come none the less ....
Labour: 540
Lib Dem: 46
Con: 29
SNP: 12
Green: 2
Reform: 0
Read somewhere that First past the post starts to work against the tories when they get below a certain vote share - and they are perilously close to that point in the polls. (and beyond it in the latest you gov one).

Pedant alert:
The poll doesn’t show the ‘usual convergence’, it shows a narrowing of a lead. Convergence is when the polling companies fiddle with their underlying assumptions to be roughly on track with other companies. Do, if YouGov show a lead of 12% but everyone else is showing 22%, yougov will start fiddling their figures to match more.
This one is just claiming an actual narrowing of the gap. A tad implausibly.

General election: Labour extends lead over Conservatives in exclusive poll for Sky News
The Conservatives have failed to get a bounce from Rishi Sunak's surprise election announcement and are still struggling to win back their coalition of 2019 voters, data from YouGov suggests.

I find it hard to believe the Tories will actually end-up on only 66 seats, but it's a bit mad that a MRP poll involving over 10k people can produce this predication.
GENERAL ELECTION 2024: FIRST MRP POLL
We at @electcalculus and @findoutnow asked over 10k people for @DailyMailUK who they intended to vote for in the general election.
Seats tally
CON: 66
LAB: 476
LD: 59
Reform: 0
Green: 2
This accounts for tactical voting.

new but not *that* new
I would find these polls much more interesting if the polling companies also included the 'don't knows' and 'not voting' in their graphics. They make up such a large chunk of responses and IMO are an important sign of how flawed our democracy is. Though, maybe that's why they're not included...

The RefUKers seem to have hit some sort of sweet spot that enables the maximum vermin damage with zero seats.

Off course; that's also the answer to a question that Serge Forward asked me the other day regarding the black spot near Burnley on a map I posted the other day.

That makes sense. But is the twat from Chorley not standing then, or does he get a free ticket to the HoC?Off course; that's also the answer to a question that Serge Forward asked me the other day regarding the black spot near Burnley on a map I posted the other day.

By convention the main parties don't oppose the Speaker. Last time he was opposed by a Green and a man who changed his name to put Brexit as his surname.

Weirdly the refuks poll higher than the lib dems who are expected to get seats. Fptp is weird. Still at least it is fucking the tories for a change

There'd be another ten people in the room that didn't vote for anyone at all, so that would be nine out of thirty.

Any idea how far that RefUKer % can be pushed up before they score a single seat?

That's not strictly true - they've historically been very strong in the South West and part of Scotland. In the South West, Labour have been the 3rd choice party in all but Plymouth.. The LibDem vote is in some respects more similar to SNP vote in that geography and history matters more.

It's tricky because of FPTP. Fact is, nationally, they could score fuck all and gain one of the Thanets, just as George could gain Rochdale. These calculators are sometimes not programmed to deal with that.
