CON lead at 11% according to new ICM poll for Guardian

CON 45%=
LAB: 34%=
LD 8% -1
UKIP 5% =

remember the methodology assumes young people and 2015 non voters are in the same proportion in 2017 as then

Whatever the result on Thursday, I feel like the country has never been this divided in my lifetime.

I cannot see how the winner can even start to pull the nation together. They probably won't even try tbh.

I personally dont think the nation is divided, I think far right loonies and far left loonies are more divided than ever, and they have the loudest voices, which makes everyone else think the world is more divided. Thats not gonna get any better in the digital age sadly.

Not to be a big softy but I think the nation is much more like the Manchester response last night to the terror attack than the UKIPers screaming at the socialists, and Alt Right twatting Antifa, etc etc

I think the internet is more divided than ever though

I think you're correct mate, those people in the far left/right groups are the ones that think that I reckon.

'This has been the most tragic, weirdest and most unnecessary of election campaigns in British history.'

Tend to agree, arguably more fundamentally divided in the early 80s but I'm pretty sure I've got 10 years or so on Keef
