I went from 11 to 38 over the same period. I vaguely remember 1992, having had my first political epiphany two years earlier when my school teacher came into the classroom and announced that Mrs Thatcher had resigned as PM. She had been PM for my whole life, so it was a surprise to me that she could just go like that and it was the first time that I started really noticing that Government is formed by political parties winning elections, and PMs gain their office by leading those parties to victory. As a child, Margaret Thatcher had always seemed to me like another character on TV - a celebrity with a job running the country - and after her, John Major seemed like a dull person, fitting my stereotypical impression of a bank manager more than a Prime Minister. (My jaw hit the floor decades later when I realised that he had in fact been a banker at one time in his life.) The fact that he carried on as PM after 1992 left me nonplussed, but seeing Neil Kinnock replaced by John Smith was another moment of political education for me - apparently, because he didn't win, he had to resign and give someone else a chance. By 1997, I was the same age you are now and wiser in the ways of the world. I can remember how Tony Blair's landslide shook the country: to so many it was an exhilarating event and the sense of sweeping change that would lead to a new future was almost tangible, though some of my Conservative-minded friends were disappointed and didn't like Blair's Cheshire-cat grin.... 2001 and 2005 left me feeling nonplussed again; I didn't vote for Labour but it seemed inevitable that they would win those elections no matter how one voted. 2005 was more notable insofar as it saw things shifting away from Blair's favour: disillusionment over his approach to Afghanistan and Iraq, and his cosiness with President Bush, certainly took the bloom off the rose for many that had put their faith in him 8 years before. 2010 was a result that interested me and which I felt reasonably positive about. By that time I was clear in my mind that I am a moderate liberal at heart, so it pleased me to see Liberal Democrats having a shot at being in government, albeit as minor partners in a Conservative-led agenda. I was disappointed by both parties in the end and switched my vote in 2015, so you can imagine my disappointment in that year's result, especially as the exit poll turned out to have underestimated the Conservatives' numbers. 2017 struck me as a relief in some respects and a disappointment in others. Likewise 2019. I wonder what 2024's exit poll will look like, assuming an election doesn't happen before then? By that time, a new generation will be entitled to have its say - so who can tell what will result?

Paddy Ashdown, "if that's right and the Liberal Democrats end up with 10 seats I'll eat my hat." As it happened they ended up with 8 and he was presented with that marzipan hat cake on the morning news. 2017 was a shocker but I wasn't involved in that so didn't see the reactions at a count etc on the night, I had a feeling there might be a shock, the manifesto for the Conservatives was awful, it neither inspired Conservative voters or convinced Labour voters to switch, especially Hammond's economic segments.

Based on the local election results, Hung parliament - Labour short by 20/30 seats.

When you watch these back to back it's irritating how inconsistently the data is presented. Sometimes you get percentage of vote share, which doesn't tell you shit. Sometimes they give you specific numbers of seats, sometimes a range of probability, and sometimes just the difference between Conservatives and Labour. Sometimes they give you "Others," sometimes it's disaggregated. Makes it very hard to track the reliability of the poll from year to year.

@jasonkoch3182

Ай бұрын

Not really. The point of the exit poll is to give people an idea of what will happen that night. It's no different than any other poll, except it happens to be the last one taken before the actual votes coming in. Its job is not to predict the final seats or tallies. It's to give you an idea of what those final numbers could look like. And it's incredibly easy to tell the reliability of the polls. It was wrong in 1992 and 2015, as the poll predicted a hung parliament and the Conservatives won majorities. It was right in 1997, 2001, 2005, 2010, 2017 and 2019. In 1997 and 2001, it predicted huge Labour majorities, which happened. In 2005, it predicted a small Labour majority, which happened. In 2010 and 2017, it predicted a hung parliament, which happened. And in 2019, it predicted a big Conservative majority, which happened. It's been right 75% of the time in the last 8 elections, and of the 25% of the time it was wrong, 12.5% it wasn't off by that much - 14 seats. It's only been massively wrong once, the 1992 poll. So here's how you use it: Know that there's a high chance the 2024 exit poll will be close to the results, a very small chance it is completely wrong, and virtually a 0% chance that it hits the final numbers dead on.

The Tories are on track for their biggest defeat in the party's history. The polls all support that suggestion and I'm not seeing anything which suggests their fortunes are going to suddenly turn. They will probably fare worse than 1997 and end up on maybe 130 seats, facing the same period of rudderlessness that they had in the 2000s. I don't think it'll be as extreme as 1997 but Labour are still going to absolutely smash it. The SNP could be on track to lose 30+ seats as well, putting the Lib Dems in as the third party in the HoC. Reform will probably meet Nigel's objective of getting more votes than UKIP did in 2015, but I don't see that translating into seats because it didn't for UKIP either.

In comparison the polls a month before the election in 1992 had Labour leading by 1-3% and the result was a Tory win by 7.6%. A similar 8-10% shift this time around would still mean a Tory defeat by around 12-15%.

That 1992 exit poll was a disaster. Meanwhile 2005 was absolutely bang on. In reality it was all over for John Major by around Christmas 1996 - although Sir John Gorst withdrew his resignation, it was still a big blow for Major. Major already had to pull off his "put up or shut up" chad move in June 1995 and the bounce from that didn't last too long.

@@jasonkoch3182 In reality John Major's authority was already wobbling by June 1995 when he pulled his "put up or shut up" stunt to try and refresh his mandate. That worked for a while, but he was again badly undermined just before Christmas 1996 when Sir John Gorst resigned and Major lost his majority. Gorst changed his mind but the damage was done.

This year's exit poll will be a record 😂

last few should have put the actual seat numbers won not just percentage- the exit poll clip shows seats - the slide shows percentages so hard to compare

i wonder, who’s the bbc presenter from the 90s to 2017 reporting the results? did he retire in 2019?

The rule of waiting until 10 is a bit funny. Say something were to happen in the polling station that caused a massive backup and people in line were still voting past 10. If the intent of the rule is to not influence voting at all, it certainly might still. One of those all or nothing things.

Looking forward to the election

This is a really well put together video well done. Honestly I wasn’t even that focused on the exit polls but more looking at the graphs at the end just showing how ridiculously stupid first past the post is for an electoral system. I think the 2015 one shows it best, the SNP getting nearly twice the representation they deserve the Lib Dem’s, Greens and UKIP having nearly all their votes be meaningless due to geographical spread. Say what you want about the minor parties but FPP is just anti democratic.

How come they got it so wrong in 1992

Not surprising the BBC cocked up the exit poll in 1992 if they really did just "talk to lots of people coming out of the polling stations in marginals". For one thing it needs to be done via private ballot, not a conversation.

insight from a student studying politics! LAB are going to struggle to win elections with the ongoing independence struggle in scotland. Every route to a NEWLAB victory (1997-2005) included Scotland having a huge helping hand in their victory. Unless they can somewhat shift the political landscape in 3ish years, and change A LOT of blue seats red (while regaining red wall seats and having to hit the south HARD), CON will win election after election. Further the FPTP system will always favour three parties, CON, LAB & SNP (although SNP do win close to majorities in proportional systems (AMS) in Scotland). As we saw in 2017, the vote share was extremely close between CON and LAB, but the system makes it hard for the vote share to be equal to the number of seats. Unfortunately (or fortunately for some) LAB don't have an easy route to an election victory, unless it's hanging parliament & going into coalition with the SNP (if they don't get an indy ref 2). It's gonna be an interesting few years!

You are absolutely right here mate, I don't like Labour or the Conservatives but agree with your analysis. CON will need to work hard to regain the seats of the north and those of Scotland, although if I am honest I cannot see Labour winning the next election. They are focusing on the Metropolitan (Champagne Socialists) class too much and losing touch with their original voting base. I have always known Labour to be the party of the Working class, LD were the party of the students and Liberal Middle Class. IMO the CONS will win next government but most likely with a much smaller MAJ than 2019.

I remember being shocked at the 2015 exit poll. It felt like a huge punch in the stomach for me. I remember being so excited that Cameron would 'surely' be thrown out after all the cuts and anger he'd cause people in living and jobs for 5 years and it felt like being a runner limping so close to the finish line. Suddenly, as soon as the poll came in the finish line was kicked miles away! I went for a long sombre walk in the dark after hearing it to prepare myself for another 5 years of things getting worse, little did I know that it would be worser than I thought with the arrival of Corbyn as leader of the opposition :(
