  • Currently when I look at my constituency (Fareham) it says Labour or Lib Dems. I can kind of understand that given that they got about them same number of votes in 2015, but shouldn't it only be giving one suggestion.

    Depressingly, you could add all the non Tory votes together in 2015 and they would still win (even including ukip)

    edit, yeah just noticed it says TBC, sorry

  • Yeah, the TBC bit. It basically means we don't really have enough understanding of that seat to make a strong suggestion that would be meaningful.

    It isn't always clear cut.

    Gina Miller will be focusing on 40 or so key seats to fight for or defend, whereas we're making recommendations across the entire country. So we're taking on a lot more of the grey areas, or the really futile ones too (the massively safe Tory seats).

    We may actually recommend the Tories in one seat... the Speaker's seat :) No-one else is standing there out of tradition and the independents there are a bit nuts... besides, electing him removes a vote from the Tory numbers.

  • For the next step, it would be helpful to have the details of where polling stations are, based on a postcode search. This data won't be out yet (polling places won't have been confirmed) and I don't know how public it will be when it is, but if something along those line could be tied into this, that would be fantastic.

    Getting people to the right polling station is half of the battle sometimes.

    Also, could you get it to request permission to push updates (I know android can let websites do this) so you can push a reminder to vote on the day?
