"As was the case in America with Sanders v. Clinton, the divide is generational. Under 44 is for Corbyn, over 44 is for May, and the younger they get, the more they’re for Corbyn. The problem, as everyone has pointed out, is turnout: Youngs tend to vote less."
"Even the best polling doesn’t show a straight up Labour victory, it shows the Tories failing to get a majority. Polls in Britain have tended to be wrong away from Conservatives, but, given how unreliable polls have been over the past few years, I certainly have no idea how this will go. I certainly didn’t expect the election to be this close when it was called, though I’m very glad to be wrong."
"Unless Labour wins, expect that Labour MPs will launch another coup attempt against Corbyn, even if his results are good."
