          I hope not, but still reckon the Tories are heading for an 80+ majority.
          Good work, yougov. They even predicted Canterbury correctly.

              Good to see you think the UK is less nice than USA, Saudi(or any other Middle East country), China, Russia, North Korea.

                No, the model is still toss. It's not the outcome I'm looking at, but the internals of the model. Incidentally, constituency models have been used before (e.g. in 2015), and they are widely used in the US (for US states) by Nate Silver and others. Their performance is mixed, at best, and they fundamentally rely on national polls to distribute the votes at a constituency level. You didn't need the YouGov constituency model to predict a Hung Parliament on the basis of the YouGov polls. They (along with Survation) were the only companies whose polls were pointing to a Hung Parliament, although YouGov bottled it last minute by assigning the DKs in their final poll.
