Con: 34%
Lab: 33%
UKIP: 14%
LibDem: 8%
Green: 6%
Other: 5%
I fiddled around a little with my model, and came up with the following:
Defection Con-UKIP - 0.16 |
Defection Lab-UKIP - 0.11 |
Loss of votes for Lib when not incumbent - 0.75 |
Loss of votes for Lib when incumbent - 0.3 |
Lib transfer votes to green - 0.25 |
Lib transfer votes to UKIP - 0.1 |
Lib transfer votes to Labour - 0.3 |
Lib transfer votes to nationalist - 0.25 |
BNP transfer votes to UKIP - 0.8 |
Lib transfer to nationalist that go to labour - 0.5 |
if no nationalist candidate |
Swing Lab/Con/Lib-SNP - 0.35 |
Swing Lab/Con/Lib-PC - 0.1 |
Greens standing in 90% - assume all |
Defection Lab-Green for new candidate - 0.06 |
Con | Lab | LibDem | SNP | PC | Green | BNP | UKIP | |
Percentage of vote | 33.4% | 33.7% | 7.7% | 4.6% | 1.3% | 6.2% | 0.4% | 12.7% |
No of seats obtained | 274 | 270 | 21 | 59 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
There are flaws in the model, I've spotted errors in the calculations. However, the numbers are satisfyingly close to the percentages that the opinion polls are returning with. I would like to redo the model more accurately, as I said before, but this is an interesting estimate to go with for now.
