Westminster Advisers has published the first edition of their Spotlight briefing – an at-a-glance summary of the current polls, what they suggest about the current state of play between the parties, and what they could mean for coalition negotiations in the (likely) event of a hung parliament after the election in May.
There has been much in-depth speculation and analysis about the political, constitutional and practical possibilities that might face the parties come 8th May, including on the Westminster Advisers blog.
Their aim is not to replicate the same analysis, but rather to provide a useful, brief, overview of the latest polling and campaign developments, to make sure that readers are fully up to date with the policy announcements and key campaign moments in the run up to the election.
This report provides a snap-shot analysis of:
- How the most recent polls would translate into seats if the election were held tomorrow
- The different types of government that may emerge
- What each of the main parties have pledged in policy terms over the last month
The Westminster Advisers Spotlight briefing will be published on a monthly basis from now until the election, providing a handy go-to guide to understanding how current vote-share could translate to seats in a new parliament, and the flashpoints of the election campaign to date.
