I want to run a small competition
Please post before polls close on Thursday to be eligible
Answer with one number, either
a) size of conservative majority or b) number of seats short of majority (and state which your answer is)
Nearest wins a £25 donation to a charity of their choice (will post screenshot)
In the event of a tie earliest guess wins
Anyway those that haven't can still have a crack at this Put my money where your mouth is, or something like that..... I said at start of campaign 25-35 majority. I'll go for 26 majority. Have you been offered a decent cash out on your 7/4 bet?

55 majority for me if it hasn't been taken. Fancy a demolition job of JC. Looking forward to seeing how much lolrron has had on laboour at 25/1 most seats and 40/1 majority given his recent lol posts. Can you copy and paste your betting slips. Must be close to the biggest bet you ever had at the relative prices. You talk like its close to a coin flip.

I don't think its a game changer
lots of tactical voting in the south (possibly, though probably overstated on social where people are switched on to it) could get wiped out by losses in current Labour leave-voting heartland seats
Anything from Tory landslide to hung parliament is in the realm of possibility
Getting out the vote key, weather tomorrow could be a swing factor etc etc
Fair bit of rain/bad weather around.........who's that good for? Students not leaving the pub?....older voters not going out?

What do we think of the WASPI women vote?
An estimated 3.8million women born in the 1950s will get an ave of 15K from labour (in theory).
Surely a huge % of them will now vote labour?

I very much doubt that. Women born in the 50’s are much less susceptible to fantasy offers than the students who think their student loans will be written off.

I can't find a poll which shows a breakdown by both age and gender - but by gender about 30% are already voting for Labour anyway; and about 40% are voting for small parties (so maybe won't be swayed because they're already voting for a party that definitely won't be in power?) So even if some can be bribed into the Labour vote it could be a significant number, but maybe not too significant.

Well I took your advice on board, but the website didn't even ask my opinion on anything. I entered my postcode and it just told me to vote Labour, which is strange as the Conservatives only won by 5k votes in my constituency in 2017, I know its only 1 vote but seems a risky strategy if I want the Conservatives to win? So possibly checking this website isn't vital for everyone?
