Hall Of Fame
Let's have a stab at this.
In the past Parliament the distribution was as follows:
Conservative. 330
Labour. 229
SNP. 54
Lib Dems. 9
DUP. 8
Sinn Fein. 4
Others. 15
Vacant. 1
Total 650 Seats
My prediction:
Tory. 396
Labour. 170
SNP. 52
Lib Dems. 16
Sinn Fein. 3
Plaid Cymru. 4
Ulster. Parties. 5
Green. 2
Speaker. 1
Indp. 1
Total 650.
Of course things can change. I might change the estimates by June 7th.

OK, how much money is on this then?
Conservative. 370
Labour. 194
SNP. 49
Lib Dems. 15
Plaid Cymru. 4
Green. 0
UKIP. 0
DUP. 9
Sinn Fein. 4
SDLP. 3
UUP. 2
Vacant. 0
Total 650 Seats
I can guarantee that you will be wrong Romanus, since there are 18 Northern Irish seats and you've only allocated 9 to them

Yup I sure forgot that. Will need to rethink the numbers. But yours also contains an omission. 1 seat is Speaker

But the speaker is only nominated from amongst the 650 once they are voted in, isnt it?Originally Posted by Romanis

If the Smurf is seeking re-election then no.
Convention dictates the major parties don't oppose him.
If he isn't on ballot then the seat becomes open to all.
I didn't check, just assumed he's running again
Hall Of Fame
No, the speaker's seat isn't contested by the other 2 major parties, so it's always a shoe in.

I think a change is needed now as we enter the final furlong.
Tory 372
Labour 206
SNP 51
LibDems 13
Sinn Fein 3
Plaid Cymru 3
Greens 1
Speaker 1
No indp
Total 650
Hall Of Fame
Tory 330
Labour 260
SNP 50
LibDems 10
Others 10
Total 650
Hall Of Fame
That's 10 extra seats. So Labour 250 not 260 then
Hall Of Fame
Final prediction
Conservative 348
Labour 214
SNP 49
Lib Dems 15
Other parties including N. I, Wales 21
Speaker 1
Greens 1
Total 650
