It states they have an 87% chance of winning. Not that they are going to get 87% of the vote.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Apr 12 2010, 04:54 PM) errr.. No its not. 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? This seems quite high to me. |

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. |
