BBC predicting Tories picking up seats in Wales and Scotland (incl Salmond's seat!) but getting humped in England.

A strange, strange old world...

FWIW, Lord Ashcroft's poll from today is predicting a ~70 seat Conservative majority.

Pritii Patel is clueless.

She's a fair bet for being a future Tory leader.  Again, not a flippant post.

I think the disappearing UKIP vote seems to be skewing results in leave constituencies. I really believe that there are no patterns here, all constituencies seem to have individual characteristics!

The swing in Sunderland might mean something. 11% to the cons from ukip. 

 

but the BBC are quoting it has a swing from labour to the cons.

Looks more to me like 2/3's ukip directly to the cons and the rest split.

The BBC just quote the movement in vote in the two leading parties and divide by two. In situations when the UKIP vote is unwinding to both of them the 2 party swing is somewhat useless. e.g Tories up 10%, Labour up 5% = technically a 2.5% swing Labour to Tory.
