daons Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I've had a play about with the polling shift data in the percentages file and have found a way to update the polling a small Conservative lead to reflect the opinion polls but with undecideds able to cause a hung parliament easily. I'll need to do a few tests to see how it goes but here is a screenshot of where it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make the scenario so much easier the best I could do as labor was to hold the conservatives down to 330 seats and gain 1 seat.

In fairness, that is a reflection of reality. The Tories ran the worst campaign I have ever seen and they still only ended up losing about thirty seats. A Labour victory is meant to be difficult.

Yes but not that difficult May should not be starting with so many safe seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Labour can only 260 seats in these circumstances, then the PMI scenario seems to have gotten it about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvikings1 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Have you adjusted NI to account for the domination by DUP and Sinn Fein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiw Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hopefully you can do it better than me. I tried adjusting the polls and I still get a Conservative majority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI Democrat Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm going to try adjusting some of the personal/party attributes and leaving the polls alone, given that the Tories were in fact way ahead when the election was called. For example: - Increase the starting $ for the non-Conservative parties so that they have more resources to take advantage of possible Conservative weaknesses - Increase Corbyn's leadership from 2 to 3 - Change the Charisma ratings for Corbyn and May so that they're about equal, again to account for Corbyn performing better than expected on the campaign trail and May proving somewhat ineffective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiw Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 That might work out a little more realistically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labourjack Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Not sure what happened for me, but was polling at around 200-220 the whole way through the campaign - managed to get big momentum during the very last few days and ended up with a very close hung parliament!

daons Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Just done a few more tests of my amended polling scenario, I have changed Corbyn's charisma from 2 to 3 given his big rallies and added three new events. 1. Conservative social care plans unveiled - gives -2 momentum to the Conservatives 2. U-turn on the social care plans, gives -2 momentum to the Conservatives 3. Theresa May refuses to debate after Corbyn announces he will attend, gives -2 momentum to the Conservatives. However I have managed to still win big as the Conservatives if you campaign well but I managed a big win with Corbyn by exploiting the new events and getting the endorsements. Here is the link to the scenario, all feedback is appreciated 2017 - United Kingdom (adjusted polling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
