Prediction: Greens will out-perform nationwide polls, win 4 seats
As Labour and the Conservatives take a tumble in the opinion polls, it becomes harder and harder to predict the outcome of the upcoming general election. So hard in fact, that we’re stopping our series of seat prediction posts.
Prediction: Labour landslide may come on similar vote share to 2019
With three weeks to go until the general election, our modelling predicts that Labour may win a landslide victory with 391 seats on a very similar share of the votes to that achieved by Jeremy Corbyn’s party in 2019. This result would surely strengthen the case for electoral reform in the UK.
Immigration: The Establishment’s Convenient Bogeyman
The debate around immigration in this country is deeply dishonest and incredibly unfair. Right wing politicians are using migrants & their families as political footballs. Preying on the insecurities of British voters to win votes, and quite simply lying about the impact that immigration has on this country.

Labour leftists looking for a win should embrace the Greens
These days you’d be hard-pressed to find a left-leaning Labour member who’s happy with the direction their party is taking. Keir Starmer’s leadership campaign pitched him as Corbyn-lite, but three years on he’s positioned himself to the right of the Conservatives.

Instead, Starmer’s Labour is a party of big business, harsh immigration rules and war in the middle east.
