UK-Elect General Election Forecast, April 12th 2015.


Hung Parliament - Labour Lead By 9 But Short By 47. SNP Forecast To Win 50 Of The 59 Scottish MPs.
In the latest, detailed (top 3 parties in every constituency) UK-Elect forecast Labour are predicted to form the largest party by nine seats, and the Scottish National Party is once more forecast to have the key role in deciding who will form the next UK government. Overall, the figure of 328 seats, the combined total for Labour + SNP MPs in this prediction, is enough for an overall majority if the two parties can come to an agreement.
The margins,however, continue to be very narrow and there can be little doubt that British politics is going through one of its most fascinating periods ever.
