    Which is pretty much the top end of the prediction of my FX mate who said Consevatives would get between 307-382. It doesn't say 60 seat majority in your last post.

    Boris has already managed to lose 19 seats in the few weeks he’s been PM.

    A poll on %age of voters for parties wouldn't mention numbers of seats.

    Hopefully they'll be a good dumping of snow around election day thus younger voters that actually bother will still get to the polls and the more elderly Tory supporting VILE FASCIST SCUM will either stay at home or die of hypothermia on the way. <somersault>

    I didn't really look at the words, just the figures.

    It's a bit of a conundrum for him as Tommy Robinson isn't standing and Oswald Mosely is dead.

    If you don't want to look at the words then a good rule of thumb is as follows:
    %age=votes
    absolute numbers=seats
