I actually thought they would win, and there was nothing anyone could do. Now I think they will lose.

I'm confident the Tories will win and get the significant majority too.

I never understood why so many people were surprised by the majority vote for Brexit at the referendum, I saw it coming for a long time.

The same silent majority are not going to vote for Corbyn to allow uncapped immigration of unskilled workers to continue.

I plan to vote Tory for the first time ever. It's a second vote for Brexit for me.

Its just the noisy minority creating a fuss. Similar to 2015 election and brexit referendum. The silent majority will Excercise their vote Thursday without splashing it all over social media.

I live in desperate hope that they lose.

Anyone who really thinks the Tories will lose can put their money where their mouth is by backing Labour to win at 7/1...

I would love you to be right I really would. But I don't think Labour has a chance of winning. That makes me very sad.

I've been predicting elections accurately for some forty years. I'm not calling this one!

May is doing herself no favours not taking part in the debates, I hope she loses, she's coming across as complacent

Cameron had no principles, he just wanted Prime Minister on his CV, and managed to appear affable.

Neither is Corbin

Slight de-rail but do people do this deliberately? It's only 6 letters, not that difficult to spell!

Returning to the thread, I'm too scared to make a prediction.

I always got the impression Cameron rather liked being leader of the opposition and wasn't overly chuffed to have won!

Always a PR man, no substance as a leader.

Well, they're definitely not going to get the landslide that May was so cocky about just a few short weeks ago.

Maybe not even a majority.

Cameron made appalling decisions as PM, hence having to resign.

But, yes, better than May.

Yabba I fear you're right, but aren't the polls trying harder than ever to control for all those things now? I am astonished at the YouGov poll but there it is. YY to 'it's the hope that kills you'

I so wish that could be true, I would even take Lab/Lib dem coalition if it meant the back of the Tories, but unfortunately still a lot of people who believe they are good for the country.

I don't think Mumsnet is representative of the entire population, so I think May will still win by a significant margin.

Yes the silent selfish majority will probably swing it for them again. It doesn't matter that May has been a absolute disaster in this campaign. Or that the campaign itself has been equally as disastrous. The majority of people who vote Tory do so because they know it will benefit them. They don't need, or want, to spread it about on social media, but they will be out on June 8th nonetheless.

I hope I'm wrong. I didn't vote for Corbyn and he has enraged me over the last couple of years. However, he has impressed me during this campaign without a doubt. But I don't think it will be enough by a country mile.
