Yesterday I was pointing out how little effort this would take based on polling. And today a new poll puts electoral calculuses tory seat prediction from 66 to 27.

While it is an early poll.

Honestly if we saw a higher young voter turn out all votiing tactically. A complete distruction of the Tories party is possible.

Imagin an opposition party challenging labours view on FPTP. This would be a real once in a life time change to the old aristocratic power structure.

    There is no chance of this happening. These figures come from Electoral Calculus, which should be taken with an ocean of salt.

      The chance of it happening depend entirly on voters desire to make it happen.

      So comments like this are at best worthless. At worst designed to limit the actions of voter cooperation.

      My statement has always been. That young voters increasing turn out and agreeing to tactical voting to achive this. Would make it a possibility.

      Stating something has no chance. When their is a clear path to its possibility. Is at best over confiden at worst intentional voter manipulation.

      At a minimum over the last 50 years 30% of eligible voters do not vote. Those voters can very much change the results of any election we ever had. To any outcome they agree on.

      So the whole point of discussion like this on social media. Is to convince voters they are able to change things. Even under our crap fptp system.
