Data with error margins that wide are completely and utterly useless. Data would be, yes. Predictions only somewhat. The margins close in every week or two as we get closer to the election. Over the couple of months I've been following this, the trend is a slight strengthening of the Lab position at the expense of LD and Con. |

The Oxford team have changed their methodology to take account of the SNP surge. They're now saying there's a 79% chance of a hung parliament and no two party combination is able to give a majority. This is what they say is the most likely outcome:
Con 283
Lab 281
SNP 36
LD 26
PC 3
UKIP 3
Green 1
Lab SNP LD has a majority of 21
Lab SNP is 5 short of a voting majority
Con LD is 13 short
Lab LD is 15 short
Con minority is 39 short

I made a prediction a few days ago without seeing this website which was Con 280, Lab 280, LD 32, SNP 25, UKIP 10, so it's interesting to see that they're coming up with similar figures.
