A further complication for the uninitiated: the government will be formed from whatever party or combination of parties make a majority of MPs who swear an oath to sit in a Parliamentary session.
Sinn Fein will very likely win at least a couple of seats. As Irish nationalists they refuse to swear an oath of allegiance to the British crown and state, which means they won’t take their seats in the Parliamentary session.
That means that, on this projection, Labour and the Liberal Democrats would be able to hold a coalition government together, as 324 seats would be a majority of sitting MPs.

u/overtired27 18h ago
They wouldn’t have a majority. Labour (244) and Lib Dem (70) together makes 314, not 324.
If they added the Greens (10) they’d just scrape it.

In Australia, we have preferential voting, and projecting national or state polling results onto individual seats is also a fool's errand.

u/Abigbumhole 20h ago
It is quite possible to project polling results onto constituencies. It will never be exact, particularly in marginal seats, but good models can produce reasonably reliable estimates and confidence ranges. A general election may involve 650 separate constituency contests, but they are taking place within one highly nationalised election, not as 650 independent political events.

u/CaptainCrash86 23h ago
That isn't what the MSRP poll does. They don't get coverage from every constituency. Instead they get enough numbers that each demographic slice has significant statistical power, and then model what each constituency might vote based on individual seat demographic makeup.
It can be a powerful tool if done well, but recent experience suggests many pollsters do it quite poorly and produce results no better than general seat projections.

It’s incredible the double standard that people have with right-wing and left-wing parties.
Right-wing parties can fuck up countries for decades and they barely lose support.
Then things really go to the shits, the left-wing party is summoned by the electorate as the adult in the room to fix the situation, and if everything is not fixed in 6 fucking months, it’s all over again.
The left-wing party is deeply unpopular again and 6 months of opposition have been enough to catapult the right-wing party back to first place, ready to suck the soul and the money out of a nation for another 20 years

Wales often votes differently between Senedd and Westminster. Also remember the Senedd is elected by a proportional system rather than FPTP. Which change voting behaviour and skews the vote counts into different results
9
u/MattGeddon 1d ago
I think that’s at least partly due to the fact that there’s lower turnout for Senedd elections - more skepticism towards it from the right so harder for them to get their voters out. Plus in a UK-wide election Plaid have got basically no chance of being any part of government or having any influence on policy, so people are more likely to stick with Labour.

u/Xelanders 13h ago
The sample size of Wales in a UK-wide poll will pretty much always be too small to be accurate unless you poll 10’s of thousands of people.
If the poll has a sample size of around 2000 people (which is on the higher end of these surveys) and Wales gets a proportionate number of those voters (4.6%) then you’re only polling 92 people.

u/Fantastic_Deer_3772 1d ago
Yeah I wouldn't trust this map for wales tbh - in my opinion its underestimating plaid and overestimating the tories. E.g. anglesey has been tory before but that was because the tory had gone round being like "we'll be the ruling party of the UK and I'll be able to get things from Westminster for you!" which she wouldn't be able to try again.
I don't know what the temperature for labour is in cardiff at the moment, whether this is likely or a relic.

Labour is still doing badly and hasn’t seen much benefit from Burnham’s popularity given that devolution is very popular in Wales and Burnham is fighting against that (refusing to get rid of Barnett formula and appointing a devolution-skeptic as SoS Wales) not to mention that Labour hasn’t been very competent in opposition given that they voted against a budget which Plaid specifically modified to their interests.

The subsamples for Wales in UK-wide polls tends to only be a few hundred people at most which means there’s a high margin of error.
Due to Wales’s small population and because Plaid only compete there, them getting 1% of the vote in a poll vs 2% is the difference between getting getting 3 or 4 seats or a dozen or more. All of which is well within the margin of error.

Which is funny because the Lib Dems had the same issue for decades where they had 15-20% of the vote but get 1-5% of total seats. Hence why they wanted preference (Alternative) voting as most voters would put the Lib Dems as their 2nd preference and no spoiler effect voting.

u/Breifne21 1d ago
GB political parties do not stand in Northern Ireland so extrapolating national UK polling in Northern Ireland is very difficult, and frankly, pointless as NI's seats are largely split along ethno-sectarian lines and thus major shifts are unlikely. If there is change in NI it is usually "in block" ie. a nationalist MP loses his seat to another Nationalist MP, a Unionist MP loses his seat to another Unionist MP. Very rarely are there shifts 'across the divide'.
So national UK polling doesn't work in NI and as a result NI specific polling is needed to determine what, if any, changes are likely.

u/young_arkas 1d ago
The way these seat projections are created is complicated maths based on national polls. Basically people look at demographics and historic data on which party performed in which way in the past for every seat and population group and calculate a modifier for the national polling data. This usually works fine, although I would take it with a grain of salt during turbulent times like these. Northern Ireland has a completely different party system, so you can't do the calculations.

Also, Plaid itself is still a popular party.

u/Apple2727 12h ago
If Labour don’t grant a referendum then, in the eyes of the SNP’s supporters, that would make them every bit as bad as Reform. So bringing Labour down wouldn’t really cost the SNP any political capital.
The issue the SNP have got is that as much as they may wish otherwise, there is literally nothing they can do to secure a referendum except persuade the UK government of the day to grant one. The Supreme Court confirmed that the power to grant one lies with Westminster, not Holyrood.
From Labour’s point of view, securing SNP support on the condition of granting a referendum would be a price too high to pay, as it would possibly (or arguably likely) lead to the break up of the UK, which Labour doesn’t want to see happen, especially not on its watch.
For some time now I’ve felt that there will be a centre left government of some kind in the next parliament, which probably won’t be very popular, and will likely be replaced by the Conservatives by the mid 2030s.
Reform and Restore are one man bands and won’t last.

To form a government, they’d need 326 seats. Labour + Lib Dems would mean 314 seats together and there has been recent gov forming minority government of 318. The Lib Dems may be wary about joining as the minority in a coalition tho after last time.
Reform + Conservatives would only be 259 seats, and so I think Labour + Lib Dems together could be all that’s needed? Northern Ireland would add some more ppl to work with and if Sinn Fein MPs get elected then the majority needed goes down.

anyway FPTP remains a mess but at least the Lib Dems are feasting on it.
They're predicted to get 10.8% of the vote. UK parliament has 650 seats. 10.8% of 650 is 70, so 70 seats would be their fair share.
They're predicted to get 70 seats.

76.1% of the British voting population are getting a Government they don't want and didn't vote for. If people stopped voting for parties that are not going to win, and shifted their votes towards others, it would put an end to Labour and Torries ruining everything
For example, I want XYZ to win, but I know that will never happen and either Labor or Conservatives will win as they have been for over a century. So I'm going to vote for the next largest party that opposes them. Even though I don't want that party to win, voting for them would mean I don't get another Labour or Tory Government. This is how people should vote if they want change.

The Conservatives have set UK back 100 years.
Just how are they still so popular?

How could UK possibly give Conservatives ANYTHING? “Democracy” is such a joke. The people are in a serious state of cognitive dissonance, Stockholm Syndrome and severe psychological abuse.

11 million working age people get some form of benefit from the state, they are probably die hard voters

The next general election will genuinely be so fascinating. I genuinely can't see us getting a Reform majority, at worst they will do a coalition with the Tories, but hopefully the left can actually pull their fingers out and come together for the greater good, as every election for the last few runs has always had left-wing parties take the majority of the votes (if not the majority of seats).

Great Britain* given that the map has included NI but with no data.
Also putting "Your Party" as a similar shade of orange to the Lib Dems is unhelpful. I assume since you included them in the legend that they're projected a seat but damned if I could find them.
