@tayzthecreator @ClwydEnComu Cardiff is the only place in Wales we project Labour has a good chance of topping the vote. We are closely following and incorporating all polls and local election trends in Wales.

@ClwydEnComu @BritainVotesNow based on demographics and ‘national voting trends’. problem with this is that this election is obviously set to buck these trends

Is the new Welsh voting system a good idea? Here's our forecast for Caerdydd Penarth (The west side of Cardiff). Comment if you want to see more.

@MarriottNigel @JohnLoony We aren't showing the 6th allocation at 9%. We're showing the 6th allocation at half the total Reform projection, which would indeed be 11.5%.

@BritainVotesNow @JohnLoony Better but still some issues. The 6th seat allocation should be at 11.5% for Reform, not the 9% you show. Had there 7 seats, Labour would have taken it at 10%, Plaid the 8th at 9,5% and the Tories the 9th at 9%,

@JohnLoony Thanks for the feedback, we're trialling different formats, bearing in mind a large proportion of viewers won't be familiar with D'Hondt allocation.

@BritainVotesNow That is a very badly designed and confusing bar chart. You should just have one bar for each party, and then the viewers can do the D’Hondt for themselves.

🔔 Milford: Hakin (Pembrokeshire Council) By-election: ➡️Reform GAIN from Independent Results: ➡️RUK: 179 (27.1%) 🌳Con: 144 (21.8%) 👤Ind: 106 (16.0%) 🟢Grn: 85 (12.9%) 🔶LD: 57 (8.6%) 👤Ind: 52 (7.9%) 🌹Lab: 27 (4.1%) 👤Ind: 11 (1.7%) Turnout: 32.7%

Polls are closed in the Milford: Hakin (Pembrokeshire Council) by-election. Stay tuned for results.

@boden248 Islington is not a strong area for the Liberal Democrats. Their best chance of a local breakthrough would likely be St Mary's and St James' ward, where a locally concentrated campaign could see them tip the odds.

@BritainVotesNow No LD… ?

Islington Council Elections, May 2026. Jeremy Corbyn's Turf! Expect Green gains on Labour. But the real unknown is Your Party — the biggest wildcard. They could change everything if they're on the ballot. Let's see how many candidates they can muster.

@JamesGilesRBK @BNHWalker We currently only assign a 32% probability to a Conservative win in that ward.

@BritainVotesNow @BNHWalker Indeed - your projections for Kingston upon Thames are based on a strange fantasy. There is no world in which the Conservatives will retake New Malden Village.

I think it needs appreciating how utterly barmy and nonsensical much of the forecasts are that come from this frequently leaked £120 a pop projection suite. But panicked councillors fearing for their careers demand their groups spend anyway.

@christurne28082 britain.votes.now/local-election…

@BritainVotesNow Have you done Coventry? All 54 seats are up for grabs.

The first All-out Elections in Barnsley in 20 years. We are expecting a Reform landslide.
