QUOTE (user23 @ Apr 12 2010, 04:30 PM) The Times Election prediction for Newbury seems to have the Tories winning by a landslide. http://generalelection2010.timesonline.co....ictions/Newbury87% at the time of posting this. It states they have an 87% chance of winning. Not that they are going to get 87% of the vote.

QUOTE (user23 @ Apr 12 2010, 05:11 PM) errr, Yes it is. Would you like to discuss the fact that The Times predict there is a 87% chance that the Tories will secure enough votes to win Newbury? But orginally you said that the Tories were going to get 87% of the vote. This is quite different to them having an 87% (or 1/10 chance in a bookies) of winning Newbury.
