Fool's errand but what do we think will happen tomorrow?
As detailed as you like.
I think the Tories will retain power but unimpressively.
I think SNP will lose seats, possibly to Tories and odd Lib Dem.
That's as far as I'll go.

The sun will rise, my children will wake me up before my alarm and whoever passes the post first will still be facing a giant mess with little realistic chance of any significant improvement any time soon...
But I think there will be some surprise Tory losses leaving us with a difficult 'hung' parliament and stodgy progress on any coalition to say the least.

20/1 'on'?
Yup, Ladbrokes. In the London newspapers too. Go figure...
Me, prediction is I'll wake up Friday and it may or may not rain.
The ones that win, will then go on to blame the current predicament on the ones that lost OR say that the current predicament is not getting worse under them as it would have done under those that lost OR not as bad as when the ones that lost were in power in some period between 1948-2016 (as if that makes it better)
The people who voted for those that win, will somehow think that they have won too, and celebrate as if they were supporting a football team. Then the light will slowly dawn that things are no better, they don't get a loyalty card for their vote and they are as shafted as if they voted for the ones that lost or just wiped their bum with the ballot paper.
The government will still run, the MPs will get paid and get a pension. For everyone else, this is doubtful, subject to change, whim, or wind direction.
The older I get, the better I was.
Not sure; it did seem a little far fetched.
Edit: Ah, someone paying more attention has confirmed. Do Ladbrokes know something?

It's some promotion or other by Ladbrokes online. Perhaps they know something...
It's 1/20 (20/1 on) - put £20 on to win £1 - it's a poor price, she's readily available at 1/14 on many books.
Now that's just silly.
It's an offer for new registrations - only a £1 bet allowed. And only winnings at the regular price (6/1 on) is collectable as cash, the rest is paid in free bets. It's an eyecatching headline, but not a normal bet.
Anyway back to the original question. Conservative majority of 30-50. I'll say 38.
If May doesn't get at least 70 majority, I think Corbyn will outlast her.
I think she's not long for PM if she falls to win significant majority.
May will win but will not see out the 4 years.
I am not sure. You have no chance.

Recognition at last Matthew, well done!, a justified honour
i think when it comes down to it, the younger electorate wont vote, the older will and brexit will swing it for them, so i thing she ll be on course for a 60 to 75 seat majority.
Despite all the moaning, most people are well off and dont yet feel the need for radical change.
you think ? ...... people still Blame thatcher and that was 30 odd years ago .. all those governments and none of them can reverse a decision
I predict tory, but I think its gong to be a LOT closer than people think .... I nearly always vote blue ... but this last few weeks I have been growing to hate May and actually liking a lot of what Corbin says.
As it goes my local MP is great, so I am voting for her !
Stand corrected. Thought he meant a regular bet, not a silly promotion.
Agreed. A majority where they can steamroller through any policy they want without the balance of opposition. 5 years of hurt for the average family. Kiss goodbye to being able to leave your kids any cash to help them on their way with a house.
But hoping for a hung parliament.
Failing Grayling will doubtless win in my constituency - he could rape a donkey on the Town Hall steps and still get a majority from the older generation & Tory apologists unfortunately (despite the borough being pro Remain to his vocal Leave, him failing on getting oyster & zone 6 as promised, his seeming hatred of cyclists, total ineptitude in any government post he's held, and being a typical oily career politican twunt).
Hopefully they'll not win by much, but dissenters voting against the Supreme Leader will be spreading their votes around two or three other parties, so not really much more than a bloody nose for some, maybe the odd high profile casualty, but otherwise a low turnout & we'll be enjoying total disaster for the next 5 years.
