Curtice tells Tory activists.

Isn’t this the same guy that all the Johnson fans always lauded and claimed was the expert above all others, who has the highest reputation for getting such calls absolutely bang on in all previous polls and election predictions?

A lot can happen in 20 moths.
Best not to start celebrating to early.
If the election was next week, then only a fool would bet on the Conservatives remaining in power.

But it's not next week, it's at least eighteen months away, and by then, Ms Truss's daring plans may have actually borne fruit, and she will run away with victory.

Looking into the future belongs to gypsies on Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and making such predictions now is utterly pointless, and should be ignored.

Not celebrating anything.
But when you’ve got the guy they always rely on to get it right, combined with George Osborne trashing the reputation and hopes of the Truss government you sort of start to read the writing on the wall.

Seems Curtice the ‘election guru’ has changed his mind since May.

Plus even their own are targeting her.

/Here's what's going happen. Johnson will survive and fight the next general election. Starmer will also survive as Labour leader but lose to the Tories in the GE. Labour will then turn to the Left again, making it a spent force. Then the Parties of the Left and Centre, including the SNP, will have to co-operate, the only way to beat the Tories. But they will be riven by internal power struggles and, in an echo of the SDP/Liberal Alliance, it will come to nothing. After the country has recovered from the devastating affect of Covid on public finances, and the inflation caused by the Russian-Ukraine crisis, voters will turn to the Greens and the Lib-Dems but not in sufficient numbers to defeat the Conservatives. Boris will not stand for a third term and will be succeeded by another centrist leader, thereby denying the Left any hope of even a meagre victory. Labour will then disappear, to be replaced by a centrist force that will, again, lose to the Tories./

Lol @ Tonyav!

Reckon they’ll be doing Number 10 too at this rate?!
Wonder what the odds are on that gold wallpaper greeting 3 different occupants in a calendar year?
Well the back of the wagon is right outside No 10 I recon.
Beer delivery ?

I'm not sure if I understand your point, please advise if I am in error here.

It looks as though you are pointing out that my assertion that predicting the future is pointless, at least in the example we are discussing.

And again if I am correct, you appear to be illustrating my point my copying a post that does exactly that.

But since the copied post was not actually written by me, I am unsure what relevance it is supposed to have.

Maybe you can enlighten me?
Question Author
I was concurring with your assertion about gypsies in Blackpool, as portrayed in the post.

Never mind……
The Tories have been a long time in office. Governments get tired, run out of ideas, and the best thing for them is a period of opposition.
Fatticus - Thanks for clarifying.
