UK-Elect Forecast, May 2000:

This month, the forecast is based on an approximate average of the latest GB poll percentages, adjusted somewhat to take account of local and by-election results. The percentage used was Lab 41%, Con 34%, Lib Dem 18%, Nationalists 3% - these percentages represent a potentially significant move from Labour to the opposition parties during the last month, but would still leave Labour with a large parliamentary majority.

Party Seats Change
Labour 394 -24
Conservative 194 +29
Liberal Democrat 41 -5
Ulster Unionist 10 -
Scottish National Party 6 -
SDLP 3 -
Plaid Cymru 2 -
Sinn Fein 2 -
DUP 2 -
UKU 1 -
 
 
 

Notes: A simple uniform percentage swing method was used, and applied to GB constituencies only. Results from Northern Ireland are based on those of the last election and included for completeness only.
