Is there a shop which repairs crystal balls, because yours is decidedly wonky.

[steg]

Surely this should be in the jokes section

[JimF]

I make it more like this:

Conservative - 261
Labour - 251
LibDem - 35
SNP - 59
Plaid - 6
DUP - 2
Sinn Fein - 8
SDLP - 3
Independent - 10
Green - 15
Brexit Party - 0
UKIP - 0
Change UK - 0

[Jackdaw33]

Your crystal ball is in need of a service as well!

[Gromit]

Jackdaw33

And your prediction is ?

[Jackdaw33]

I am not going to predict in detail except to say that I don't think the Tories will lose any seats in England and will gain about 40. 360 seats and possibly quite a few more.

[joeluke]

My prediction is that I've got more chance (and would probably do a better job) of becoming PM than Bad Grandpa has (that's Corbyn to the uninitiated btw)

[AuntPollyGrey]

I agree with jackdaw. Leavers are going to grit their teeth and vote Tory even if they would normally vote Labour. The Brexit party is going to put the spanner in the works though I fear.

[ichkeria]

I’m only going to predict NI:
DUP 9, Sinn Fein 7, Alliance 1 Ind Unionist 1

I might have another go when the candidates are declared ;-)

This election will be decided in England/Wales, which has 577 seats compared with 73 for Scotland/NI.

Thank you for stating the bleeding obvious.
DUP will lose seats, SNP will gain a few at the expense of Labour. But in England, the Brexit Party will take votes from the Tories, and the LibDems will take votes fro Labour (but neither party will gain seats for themselves).

[fender62]

ok jo swinson will garner a lot of militant female votes, but i think ther all a bit daft..whats the party line duh..err i dont care, she's female
speaks for us ladies...err what, bloody rabble, engage the brain, look at the manifestos..err more free child this that and the other, no contraception love...goes for the labour party also,

[Jackdaw33]

I think you overestimate the influence of the Brexit Party. Leavers know that the only chance of any form of Brexit lies with the Tory Party abd will vote accordingly.

[fender62]

people are fedup, id say the majority have seen the debacle of parliament, and the parties they support, man in the street says
we want leave...fact, fringe oddballs want to remain in the marxist eu.

[Gromit]

The man (and woman) in the street are fed up with the malaise of the last 2 and a half years and blame the (Tory) Government, and will vote for a change (but not quite achieve that).

[fender62]

remainers care not for uk fisherman, ue boats are decimating our fish stocks, err small price to pay, bog off..flooding our country with criminals and low lifes, mm think eastern europeans drugs sex slaves, again small price to pay..is it, we cannot send the *** back, human rights an all that malarky, id deport or have them all shot or hung, whatevers the cheapest method, britain has become a victim of the eu's lies..great if your at the top..

[Gromit]

The UK electorate get bored with the same Party in power for a king time. They ditched Thatcher/Major, and then dumped Blair/Brown.
Since 2015 the Tories have failed to deliver miserably, and will be punished.
