LONDON - A major polling forecaster slashed its prediction for Boris Johnson’s majority in Thursday’s British general election, saying the race has tightened and the prime minister can no longer be sure of victory.
The Dec. 12 election has been described by all parties as Britain’s most important in memory, with Johnson calling for a big majority so he can swiftly pull Britain out of the EU. The main opposition Labour Party promises a new referendum on Brexit and the renationalization of utilities and railroads in its most left wing platform for decades.
“I’m just saying to everybody the risk is very real that we could tomorrow be going into another hung parliament, that’s more drift, more dither, more delay, more paralysis for this country,” he said. Polls open at 0700 GMT on Thursday and close at 2200 when an exit poll will give the first indication of who has won.While there have been countless polls in the run-up to the election, YouGov’s “Multilevel Regression and Post-stratification model” is seen as the most meaningful, offering a prediction of seats, rather than just vote share.
