Worth paying attention to this guy, his projections tend to be the best you'll find anywhere - he got the US Presidential election near as damnit spot on.
He's worth keeping an eye on if only for the fact that he's actually trying to model his way past the bizarre and nonsensical 'uniform swing' projections that are still the obsession of every major national news outlet in the UK, even though they have been discredited time and time again.

This could cause quite a quandary for all the die-hard Tory voters seeing as the vote is, in essence, like getting the Black Spot, according to the BOE.
Hi Slowcoach What's it like to have your fave party headed up by an inept pillock?
