I think it will be far closer than you seem to think, the polls of Brexit and Trump blow the polls out of the water, Labour are in still in it irrespective of how ineffective their campaign has been, and the rejection by many traditional labour voters who will reject Corbyn on Thursday, millions of undecided may swing it on the day.
I do think it will be Boris but,
Keep the Faith
The much anticipated Yougov mega-poll was published earlier. https://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...n-latest-polls
To save clicking the link, the numbers equate to Tory 43% of the vote for 339 seats and an overall majority of 28; Labour on 34% and 231 seats.
In answer to the OP, it's the Monster Raving Loony Party for me. I'll leave it to our readers to decide whether that's the Conservatives or Labour.
Polls have been wrong longer than many people can recall. Prior to the 1992 General Election Labour were ahead, albeit slightly, in virtually every one published in the lead up then the BBC exit poll published on the stroke of 10pm forecast a Tory overall majority and were bang on with the numbers. Each GE since then it was also unerringly accurate.
The tories have to realise that if they win they are on borrowed time.
This is really a one off election. A lot will be voting to "Get Brexit Done" (sorry won't say it again!) or because they dislike Jeremy Corbyn more than Boris Johnson. And a lot will probably be long term Labour voters.
However in 5 years time it will be different. Brexit will be done (hopefully!) and if Labour has any sense it will have a leader who is more appealing to the voters and a more realistic manifesto.
If the tories do not improve in areas like Universal Credit, Social Care and the NHS they could well be annihilated next time around.
If both main parties don't see sense I can see some new central grouping emerging to challenge both of them.
With more regret than ever and in large part because I cannot stand Corbyn I am therefore voting Tory again this time round.
But things have to change
Boris won't deliver brexit
What he will do is ravage the already ruined national health service and slash social services
Universal credit is a nightmare but the very people who will be hit by it will be voting conservative because they have been fooled by brexit
It beggars belief really but corbyn is a massive problem
Is it Universal Credit itself that is the problem or the administration of it Sludge?
By the way thank you for asking about my wife's PIP recently. Apologies for not responding sooner. She actually had her assessment now. She could only walk two steps (the assessor told her not to try anymore and sit down) so she should be OK on the mobility side. We should find out soon (it has been 5 weeks now).
I don't think Olivia Blake has ever been a chap. She is certainly a much better candidate than Jared O'Mara who came from nowhere (Olivia is young, bright, was deputy leader of Sheffield Council and a well known local activist), slipped through the rushed 2017 vetting processes and turned out to be poor at his job and loaded with some unpleasant misogynistic history. I think she will be good.
I voted as I've always voted for a centre-left party, 83 I voted Foot then Labour abandoned me by becoming a Tory party so i've voted Plaid for the last third of a century.
