Institute: British election can end without a clear majority

The final number of conservative seats can swing between 311 and 367, predicts YouGov in measurement two days before the election.

Prime minister Boris Johnson's conservative party stands to win a majority of 28 seats by the next election in the Uk on Thursday.

It shows a new measurement from YouGov on Tuesday.

It is a significant drop compared with a forecast in the last month.

The new poll predicts that the conservatives win 339 of the 650 seats in parliament.

It is an improvement compared with the elections in 2017, but a significant decline from a measurement in november, which gave the conservatives a majority of 68 seats.

According to YouGov the final number of conservative seats to swing between 311 and 367.

- This means that we definitely can not exclude, that the elections in 2019 end up without a clear majority in parliament - and we can also not exclude a larger conservative majority, said YouGovs director for political and social research, Anthony Wells, in a statement.

the Opposition Labour stands to win 20 more seats compared with the measurement in november. Thus stands the Jeremy Corbyns party now to win 231 seats in the parliament.

It is a loss of 12 seats compared to the elections in 2017.

In the meantime, assess YouGov, The Scottish Nationalparti (SNP) will increase the number of seats by six to a total of 41, while the Democrat is expected to win 15 seats in the parliament.

most political analysts agree that the most likely outcome of Thursday's elections is a comfortable majority for Boris Johnson's conservative party.

The conservatives are today in a minority in the parliament, but Johnson hopes to be able to ensure the party a significant majority, so he can get approved its brexitaftale and thus get the Uk out of the EU before the end of January.

Much of the campaign has been about brexit, the nhs and the uk economy.

over 100,000 people have participated in the YouGov poll, which has been carried out in the course of the past seven days.
