FabSwingers.com forum: General Election, Predictions

So, someone put up a prediction on another thread and I hope they don’t mind but I copied and pasted it here:

The next General Election will be on 28 November. We'll soon see who has the most to loose and most to gain. I reckon the losers will be the Tories & Labour, while the gainers will be the LibDems (great) and possibly the BREXIT Party (not so great)

Likely breakdown of seats

Conservative 250 to 300

Labour 230 to 270

LibDems 50 to 100

BREXIT Party 0 to 25.

Watch this space.

(S)he hasn’t factored in the SNP or DUP or independents,

Who else is prepared to put their have a guess

My guess is:

Conservatives 260

Labour 220

LibDems 80

SNP 50

DUP 10

Brexit 30

Independents/Greens/Others 10

SF 7

Your turn!!!

I think you've rather over estimated Labour's chances. I think they'll end up with less than 150 seats. Maybe even less than 100 at the rate they're going

OP i don't think you are massively out. I suspect the brexit won't get 30 seats. More like half that. Things are changing so quickly its hard to guess. Labour will lose a lot of seats in its northern and midland heartlands and the tories will probably be wiped out in london and scotland and lose a lot in the south east and large cities. Probably pick up a few from normally labour seats.

"I think you've rather over estimated Labour's chances. I think they'll end up with less than 150 seats. Maybe even less than 100 at the rate they're going"

Not sure they will do that badly but can you imagine what would happen in the Labour Party if that did happen?

What would Momentum and the far left do? They have their perfect Leader, they had the perfect beginnings for a socialist manifesto - they played all their best cards and got routed.

Depends if Boris does a deal with farage, if they do I'd expect an awful lot of the current parliament to be unemployed, I'd say around 40%.

Tories down 60

Labour down 60

Brexit party up 90

Lib Dems up 30

which would give no overall majority. What a waste of time that would be.

There is a massive amount of public opinion about the whole electoral system, parliament and democracy at present.

If Boris Johnson is still PM after 31 October, I do rather suspect there might never be another general election.

If your saying a GE while we are still in the current impasse with EU and on another extension, then I'd say a lot of leavers would vote Brexit party and a lot of remainers would vote Lib-Dem.

Meanwhile Tories and Labour would suffer by having much reduced vote share.

I think these figures are realistic and similar to my originals that the OP quoted. I think you may be slightly underestimating the number of Conservative seats that will fall to the LibDems.

all i will say is in scotland the tories get wiped out by the SNP.... and in england the lib dems will snatch seats from the tories down south and in the south west... and from labour in some affluent cities

still thing it will be a hung parliament, but enough that it will give corbyn a better chance of running a more stable minority govt

Extremely optimistic for the Conservatives. They will lucky if they get 300 and will probably get closer to 250.

Also overly pessimistic for Labour. There is almost 0 chance that Labour won't pick up well over 200 seats.

How can you predict something that hasn’t been called yet? When they announce who the nextTory leader is then I will make a prediction??

There might be NO next tory leader. Johnson is Johnson.

My prediction: GE February next year. A grand coalition will come together to get some sort of deal through (May plus custom union?) then put it to a confirmation referendum. Don’t know who will lead this, but despite backing him, I doubt it will be Corbyn.

If (and it is a huge if) that happens, it will put all bets off as it might make both Brexit Party and Lib Dem’s seem irrelevant as their core policy (hard leave against hard remain) will be history. I suspect Brexit Party won’t lie down that easily, as they are playing a narrative that virtually any deal is not respecting ‘the will of the people’.
