Its gonna be close, labour have been gaining some ground,
Hung paliment is looking more possible now. that or a moderate Tory win.
I dont think there will be any land slides.
SNP will probably lose a little ground. Libdems will probably do badly They taking the fringe 'just cancel brexit' stance was naive to say the least.
Labour were in a very bad postion early on but they have alot of decicated supporters and activists who will get out their and work hard campaiging for them.
Still I doubt most of the country has the apetite for a labour government at the moment, given what they have on the table is alot of stuff no one is really asking for - and not alot of the things they actually want.
Labour is kind of pushing it as: 'well this is what you SHOULD want' which is likley to backfire.
Cons wont do as well as they probably thought they would at the time when Borris called the GE. that said they will have learned there lesson from 2017, where they got complacent and arrogant, and the public rightly punished them for that. As far as Brexit goes, the Tories have the winning ticket. But they are still 'the nasty party' in many people minds. Said people may not be able stomach voting for them even if they agree with half of what they are peddling.
We'll see. The big picture is that this decade has seen Progreesive values start to unravel. And more conservative / nationalist values have been gaining some ground. A bit of a flip not seen in a a long time. Both have there extremists, but most people occupy the big grey area in the middle. There is no escaping the fact the entire west is having an identity crisis though.
