GE 2019 Prediction Competition Watch
With just under 3 weeks until the election, it's time to put in your predictions for seat tallys. I'm in talks with the CT about the potential of a prize, but in the meantime, predict the seat tallys for each of the following parties, and who will win each of these marginals; whoever has the lowest total error (e.g. if you're 5 out on each then your total error is 40) wins and the marginal seats will act as tiebreakers (based on most correct predictions)

Ah, good catch on Thurrock East. That should actually be Thurrock (won by ~300 votes in 2017 - I took the 10 from an inews list of the 30 closest marginals that was printed incorrectly), I'll correct that in the OP, you're welcome to change your prediction based on that.

I'll come back to the marginals, but here are the seats:
Parties
Conservatives - 336
Labour - 230
Lib Dems - 24
Brexit - 0
SNP - 42
Plaid Cymru - 3
DUP - 9
Sinn Fein - 6
---
Im going with a slim tory majority, slightly higher then Cameron achieved in 2015. SNP making gains, but not as many as currently is expected. Lib dems to hold-fast and do pretty well. Brexit party get nothing, but hurt Labour in a few seats.
Corbyn performs better than his polling suggested, as in 2017, and somehow despite loosing parts of his fanbase turn it into a victory..

Can we edit these predictions, I update my model every time there is a regional poll and will do until the Sunday before the election when I will place my bets (I put real money where my mouth is).

I've just edited my prediction.
Just thinking now, Anglesey would have been a really interesting marginal to make people predict – it's looking like the only real three-way marginal at the moment.

The three Lab seats near Edinburgh are 3 ways though not as contested this election.

Though I've seen Anglesey predicted for Plaid, Labour and the Tories in the last week, so I'm not sure they match that!

MRP says the Tories are home and dry, latest Welsh poll keeps it Labour but previous ones did go Plaid. Unless there's another Welsh poll hiding around I'd normally be calling a Labour hold were it not for MRP.

MRP also gave the Lib Dems 9% though IIRC...and they've not got a candidate.
