This is our latest forecast for the 8th of June 2017 General Election in the UK.
The forecast below is based on an election occurring on the day of the forecast using the latest polling data and does not include any adjustment for potential movement before the actual Polling Day.
Key Features
There is clear evidence of a small move back to Labour in England and Scotland since our last forecast. The consequential weakening of the Conservative position in Scotland means that we are lowering our forecast for Conservatives gains north of the border and we also now believe that on balance Labour may still retain a seat there as well. By contrast, we see a slight improvement for the Conservatives in Wales and they may take another seat in addition to those we were forecasting at the start of the week.
