How many seats?

[Merc fan]

So if a General Election was called now and the result completely mirrors current polls, how much of a majority would the Tories have in terms of numbers of seats?

Hard to tell as %age of national vote desn't equate with proportion of seats won.

Current predictions point towards a majority of 126, but as V8mate says - it's hard to tell.

I reckon 100 seats at least.

Yeah, I knew that but I just wondered if some bright spark had done any work to see what it pointed to. 100+ seats is pretty big majority.

Down to 88 since the expenses scandal hit the Tories - this just changed...
