That's not a prediction. "I guessed using completely current data that anyone can look up to prove I'm right!"...

A prediction is a guess based on current data at the time of the prediction. Not today's data..

Explain why Labour jumped up in polls

It doesn't change your prediction. It invalidates it. It means you were wrong

When you posted your prediction for future events it was accurate in the present time. You don't say.. Wouldn't be much of a "prediction" if it was "accurate in the present time", would it?

"It was accurate until it wasn't!"..

Labour jumped in the the polls cos May bungled the whole thing.

Like she's bungling Brexit. Could be another election there soon.

Labour was successful because Conservatives messed up? Not because the population favors Labour's policies?

Because Conservatives fucked up enough that people started to take "loopy Labour" seriously.

You can't keep taking one event and matching it to your hypothesis, that's called a False Positive.

I like UK politics, it's old skool as fuck and you need to actually follow it to understand what's going on.

Labour made a strong case for their cause. The conservatives kept on with their neoliberal bullshit and the increasingly beleaguered British electorate was fed up with it.

Are you sure you're not a neoliberal? You do sound like one. Might be why we disagree so much.

Nope, it was entirely May's bungling.

Literally everyone understands this except you because you have a ridiculous confirmation bias going on

Unlike some, I am a lot of people in the ground in the area in question what they think- and their opinions don't square with yours well at all.

It turns out the class war is well underway in Great Britain and the masses are fighting back.

May might lost her job in the next 6-12 months.

I'd almost guarantee it.

The problem is that the UK already has most of the things left wingers here want so Corbyn isnt their example of the "big agitator" that Sanders is/was.

Except that he was seen as the big winner in their last snap election. May called it in order to cement and extend her power before Brexit negotiations and instead she almost lost her job.

He was seen as a winner because they weren't smashed like they were expected to be, lol.

ttystikk said:

He was seen as a winner because of the large gains his party made, far more than anyone else. Labor gained 9.5% of the seats, the conservatives gained 5.5% and the allies they'd been counting on all lost, some heavily.

It's now a precariously hung Parliament with May governing via an unstable coalition.
