“I, like many people two, three, four years ago, was using the image ‘Labour has a mountain to climb’…What’s happened is not that Labour has done amazingly well. The mountain has shrunk.”

Former YouGov president Peter Kellner explains how confidence in the two main parties has plummeted with this election potentially providing the “lower ever” combined Labour and Conservative vote share.

    Pretty obviously "First past the Post" doesn't reflect the will of the majority.
  • @dansellen608
    No one is gonna dump reform for conservative, you are deluded!
  • @sfactory8253
    The unbelievable arrogance that wavering Tories will go back to them in the polling booth . Maybe but not enough .
  • @draugrdraugr
    I don't think Labour will even get 40%, from various polling maps I've seen they're really overestimating their popularity in the north
  • Former Tory voters! Don’t believe this. Cast for vote for none of the Uniparty and make your voice heard.
  • Tories are claiming a Labour government would damage the country. That`s hardly surprising. They`re the experts at doing that.
  • @madders8781
    Combining Labour's great polling to Conservative disastrous polling just to say combined result is lowest ever....pathetic and disingenuous.
  • @deadguy217
    Im putting my vote for the cat at no. 10 rather than any of these WEF muppets. GO CATS 😼
  • Well the Tories have just had 14 years of government without having a majority of the votes and sometimes even the majority of the seats. What goes around, comes around...
  • The problem with first past the post system! Funny how the leading parties only complain about it when they're losing out....
  • @MelandraSmith
    As if Reform voters would happily switch to the Conservatives en masse!
  • @MyTv-
    Understandable neither Sunak or Stammer could sell lemonade in the middle of the Sahara desert.
  • @musicman5075
    All these Tory commentators suddenly offended by the idea that a party can get a large overall majority on less than 50% of the votes. Haven't you been watching UK elections up until this point? Oh I understand, it only matters when it is not the tory party.
  • My candidate and few others have been bribed allegedly and gone to Conservative I JUST SAW THIS ON A POST HOW LOW CAN CONSERVATIVE GO AND I BET LABOUR TRY THE SAME PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GO VOTE REFORM ON THURSDAY OR LIVE TO REGRET IT

    More desperation from a Murdoch owned entity.
