DP's just home and I just asked him if he's trying to be positive to get me through and he denies it completely and says he follows 1000s of political accounts and talks to loads of people on the ground campaigning and he sees nothing that leads to a tory majority except the polls, and that no one can give him a compelling argument except "the polls". And he thinks it's bullshit. Methodology is (deliberately) dodgy, there's so many undecideds, undecideds tend to go for labour, tend to be female, tend to be younger, 60% of under 35s have said they are 100% certain to vote (polls put them as 10-30% turnout), etc etc.
He says his mates have been open (not shy) tories forever and he doesn't see why they would pretend to vote otherwise now. They are not just not voting tory, they are toying with labour, and mainly voting green (which surprised me)
For the record he has never been very political before, nor me, we both always voted (not labour historically) but did not follow it like this or campaign, nor did hardly any of my peers when young, I think the junior doctor strikes a few years ago that I was involved with heavily politicised us both, and my work, seeing the impact of my job, but I also think the young are political currently, in a way they weren't when I was a kid.
I know all of that is just anecdotal.
I need to sleep and go back to work...
