CORBYN 51% LAB 28% CON 9% LD 9% GRN 2% OTH 1% If that is your prediction, you should write “I predict:” at the beginning, otherwise people will be misled into thinking you are writing something useful or informative like a constituency poll. With all due respect Johnny (and I am a bit tipsy), I shall take no lectures on 'informative' or 'useful' content from a Monster Raving Loony Party shill. |

It think such 'predictions' should be banned and deleted from the thread. It is bloody confusing when some idiot guesses a few numbers and posts it as if it is informing us. You actually prefer pundits, journos, pollsters and other media shysters above our distinguished members? |

Johnson disliked women & music, so he has never struck me as a man of wisdom.

My name is not Johnny, and yes you will - because if you don’t then everybody else on the forum will repeatedly tell you the same thing until you stop confusing people. I don't really have a problem with it, and I didn't think it was a poll. I think there is a place, i.e. a usefulness, to predictions and the discussion of them. Discussing how you think someone will do and why is a useful way to share knowledge and insights. |

I live across the road from Corbyn's constituency and lived a stone's throw from Jeremy's stomping ground for two years before moving to Hackney. I apologise wholehearedty to anyone who thought I was a pollster. Im 27 and don't ave the £££££ to conduct a pol, sorry. Apologies for not making it clearer my post was a forecast/hot take/prediction (delete as appropriate).

What on earth makes you contend that the latter would be better or useful or informative? A properly-conducted constituency-level opinion poll of the voting intentions of a thousand people in one constituency would be a better indicator of the likely result than the random prediction of one person with no context. |

OK, but we don't have one yet. Come back Lord Ashcroft, all is forgiven! I am as familiar with Islington North as you are with Croydon Central. |
