Come the General Election yesterday's voters will revert to type

In Mid Beds (previously a very safe Conservative seat) they will vote Tory again and win back the seat. In Tamworth it will be much closer.

However in most of the seats the Tories won in 2019 (the Red Wall 'Up North') they will lose and Labour will win back those seats and others. Potentially a majority of well over 100+ for Labour had the swing been consistent over the Country. However it won't be, as in parts of the South and especially South West the alternate to the Tories are the Lib Dems. They may pick up circa 50 seats.

My prediction is a hung Parliament somewhat similar to 2010. Only this time the Coalition will be Labour and Lib Dem. Whether that will be any good....

Just my opinion. Will stick to quizzes in the future!
