Over/under on Tory MPs after the election

[az city]

I'm going for under 150. What's that TV show ... Wipeout?

Re: Over/under on Tory MPs after the election

Too early to tell I think. At this moment I would say less than 150. Reform will take a bite from both, but it will be a bigger bite from the Conservatives.

Such a result will be interesting. It's the kind of super majority that leads to brief honeymoon periods followed by a lot of infighting, as we saw with the current govt...

The new govt would likely see opposition from within and outside.

It's a nice problem to have I guess, but I think a smaller majority is in the national interest tbh.

Well I hope as few as possible but last nights leaders debate for me showed that Starmer is hopeless really

For a highly qualified lawyer he seems unable to think on his feet

I'd even go under 100 now.

Re: Over/under on Tory MPs after the election

I'm really hoping it'll be well less than 100 and that the Lib Debs will stop them even being the Official Opposition. Unfortunately that's probably fanciful but I'm rooting for Froggy Farage to do his worst in this instance.

Re: Over/under on Tory MPs after the election

One of my ex work WhatsAp groups (six of us who have been meeting up for a meal and drink for over 30 years) is running an election predictor on: winner; Tory seats; ‘Portillo moment’ and whether Farage, Corbyn and/or Galloway will get elected.

I’m on a high after correctly predicting 6 months ago when the election would be called and who would be Tory PM at the time.

My current pitch is Labour majority (really!), Tories down to 135 (others are going as low as 80), Hunt, Schapps and Mordaunt to provide the Portillo moment (losers face becoming iconic image - although Rees-Mogg is also favoured by some and maybe that is a better shout and one has got Sunak to lose his 27,000 maj), Farage and Corbyn to be elected, Galloway to fall short.

There is still time to change any of those predictions - we have until Sunday to set them in stone.

Is a 135 Tory rump too pessimistic?

The Conservatives are like The Jacks

Hang around like a bad smell

I will be happy with a 75 seat Labour majority and lots of liberals to act as a breakwater

That's pessimistic for me: I was hoping for less than half of that!

Oh fun game..

Labour majority.
Tories - 101 seats
Portillo - Jeremey Hunt, Grant Schnapps, Rees Moggy
Farage - In
Corbyn - In
Galloway - Hmmmm, this is tough. I assume he is campaigning hard, so In.

No way Galloway is far left but like Froggy he loves himself

Galloway is left wing economically and socially. Farage is right wing economically and socially. Bit neither are on the extreme by any stretch

Re: Over/under on Tory MPs after the election

Ok bit harsh and poorly worded.

Apologies to Galloway.
