I think that Labour people *did* go to Portillo's seat in the last week or so before the 1997 GE, whereas Chipping Barnet was almost entirely neglected apart from its local members. It was one of maybe a dozen places that might well have gone Labour then had we actually realised we were in with a chance, but that can be said of most GEs. There was a poll in the Observer that showed Portillo might be in danger, and so many people went to Southgate as a result they had to turn people away and direct them to other seats. I think it showed Portillo ahead by 4% and by election day i think Gallup had it down to 2% |

Why have there been so few (if any) constituency polls this Parliament? Is it because Ashcroft got it wrong in 2015?

To be fair it isn't just Ashcroft. Constituency polls have not had a great track record for a number of years even though logically they ought to be at least as accurate as national ones.

I grew up secular (and obviously not a member of any synagogue), but when we did go to the Synagogue on holidays like Yom Kipur we went to an Orthodox one. my parents were not (and my mother still is not) synagogue members, but my grandmother who lived with us was an active member of the local Orthodox shul. My mother's brother however was Reform & a member of Hugo Gryn's shul. In secular Jews is there a comparable "Christmas Carols and Weddings" culture that non-Church attenders have? |
