There has been an update to Electoral Calculus published on 3 January 2016 at
December saw no major changes, but a small decrease in the Conservatives' lead over Labour. All pollsters see the Conservatives having a lead of several points ahead of Labour, but on average the lead declined by about 1pc. It still leaves the Conservatives in a strong position at the end of the year, with the likely result being a larger Conservative majority in Westminster.
The most recent polls from the five pollsters who published polls in December are:
YouGov (Times) has Con 41, Lab 30, Lib 6, UKIP 16, Green 3 ComRes (Daily Mail) has Con 37, Lab 33, Lib 7, UKIP 11, Green 5 Ipsos-MORI (Evening Standard) has Con 38, Lab 31, Lib 9, UKIP 9, Green 6 Opinium (Observer) has Con 38, Lab 30, Lib 5, UKIP 16, Green 5 ICM (The Guardian) has Con 39, Lab 34, Lib 7, UKIP 10, Green 3
The averages: Con 40 (nc), Lab 30 (+1), Lib 6 (-1), UKIP 13 (-1), Grn 4 (+1).
The new national prediction is that the Conservatives will have majority of 44 seats, winning 347 seats (-4 seats since 29 November).
