Likely winners known in half of constituencies
MORE than half of constituencies have been sewn up weeks before the general election, the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) said yesterday.
ERS said it could already confidently call the result in 364 of the 650 seats being contested on May 7 based on past results and polling data.
Its analysis found the Tories have 186 seats wrapped up, compared to 150 for Labour, just seven for the Lib Dems and 21 for other parties.
