UK-Elect General Election Forecast, December 8th 2019.

Conservative Overall Majority of 60.

In this UK-Elect General Election forecast the Conservatives are projected to win 354 seats giving them a majority of 60. This gives them 142 more than the Labour Party's 212 seats with the Scottish National Party on 43 seats, the Liberal Democrats 17, the Democratic Unionist Party 10, Sinn Fein 7, Plaid Cymru 4, Green 1 and Others 2. This forecast result is based on more data than previous UK-Elect forecasts, including additional constituency and regional polls. The end result is fairly similar to that predicted by most recent UK-Elect (and other) forecasts, but the trend in the last week is towards an increased Conservative majority.

The UK-Elect v11.45 method was used for the forecast, using overall GB-wide percentages combined with separate Scottish, Welsh, London and (for the first time) Northern England percentages. Brexit-specific tactical voting was enabled. Candidate-specific settings (including actual candidates in each constituency and pacts between parties at local constituency level) were also utilised, as were the final candidates lists. The current recommended default Brexit forecasting settings were used, which sets Brexit electoral importance to 8/10 ("Extremely Important" to most voters). This method takes account of Brexit leave and remain support levels within each constituency and each party. These levels can optionally be configured by users to take account of any change in the political situation.
