I hate to say this but “let the market decide” if Ai is something the consumer wants/needs they’ll pay for it otherwise let it die.

The man is obsessed.

Numbers can trigger I guess? 🤔😕

The Telegraph isn’t calling for PR per se it is merely showing the stats.

The parties’ share of the vote and other statistics (source: The Daily Telegraph)

We can but hope but the chancer will be back… sadly.

Oppositions don’t win elections, governments just lose them.

Gosh what an absolute bloodbath for the Tories. While I knew the Tories would lose and massively and that Reform would have impact I didn’t think this is beyond what I was expecting.

Yes albeit this is a projected result based on sample of 20,000 people. The photos are of the party leaders.

ha! Yes you’re absolutely correct the blue = conservative/Tories (your Republican party) and red being Labour (the equivalent of your Democratic party). To be honest I think the UK/Europe’s colours for the left and right and seem more logical and traditional but I would say that 😉

I think this how the photo looks from the TV - they are meant to be different colours. This is better version >>> UK Exit Poll

Yes - they represent the different parties.

The last time this happened was in 1906 when Arthur Balfour lost his seat in the Manchester East constituency during the Liberal landslide victory.

Edit: Balfour resigned as PM in December in 1905 in an attempt to force an election. The Liberal Henry Campbell-Bannerman instead managed to form a government and thus was PM at the time of 1906 general election. I had forgotten Balfour resigned. So, yes if Sunak is unseated this will be a political first (for the UK at least).

You’re are quite right of course. Two main weaknesses of these opinions polls, regardless of the methodology are:

1. the outcome is based on the moment the question was asked and;

2. the complex reality of voter behaviour is simplified by assuming that the change in support for each party from one election to the next is the same across all constituencies. Which fails to take into consideration the following:

Regional variations, new candidates and Issues and finally tactical voting.

So yeah in a nutshell these polls are utterly meaningless but in the absence of a crystal ball something is better than nothing, despite the crude nature of the something.

I’m not a labour supporter but I would be happy to see the conservatives reduced to 43 or less.

Personally, I think the more the narrative is framed around Labour winning a ‘super majority’ the opposite might actually be the case. If think Labour are going to win with such a majority will Labour supporters a) still vote and b) would they still vote for Labour - they could afford the vote for another centre-left party as the outcome is not going to change - however the more that people think like that the greater the risk the epic landslide ebbs away. Still can’t see Reform making a breakthrough (which incidentally, this poll has Reform on zero seats).
