We are conducting the autopsy of our General Election 2017 model. Last time we looked at our individual predictions for each party. The issue with those is that we have little say over the location of these predictions. For example, if the bookies believe a party will make X seats, then our model will to, even if polling says they will make significantly fewer or more.

This time, we are looking at an element of our model that is definitely in our court - the chances of parties winning individual seats. Specifically, we will be looking at how we convert bookies' odds into probabilities.

Is it really the end of this snap General Election? Yes, we are finally there. And in this post we are going to simulate our General Election model one last time to give our final predictions. 

We will give party-by-party estimates, individual predictions for each part of the UK, and we will see how our comparisons measure up to elsewhere.

At the bottom of this page you can download the official TGIAF Election Dossier, a document which contains our predictions - for the election as a whole, as well as for every constituency. And don't forget, tonight we will be covering the election live here with our innovative analysis.

Well, we are going to be covering the election live, as we did in 2015, on TGIAF! We will be using our 2017 General Election model to give predictions and to signify where the interesting results lie. ​
