It looks like they may fall a few seats short. Sitetest’s prediction of 320 may be a shrewd guess. I’d say now it likely ends up in the 315-325 range. With luck a bare majority of 326 or 327 perhaps.
Good night.
241/495 = 48.7% —> 316
Right now coming up a tad short...
the bbc says Tim Montgomerie who runs ConsevrativeHome blog.com says “a conservative majority is no longer possible”. But it seems they’lll get close enought to put a coalition together.
it should be a cautionary tale to the GOP here at home. The conservatives were ahead in the UK recently by a huge amount and were coasting to victory. now look what’s happened. don’t take anything for granted.
