I don't think Labour can scrape a majority without Scotland. Truss may turn out to be popular with the voters, but right now she certainly isn't.
Labour *should* get an easy majority, which is why they’ll somehow find a way not to. They’ve never quite grasped the idea that political parties mainly exist to win elections.
I see no realistic scenario between SNP keeping 35+ seats and their vote collapsing below 20. There's also a bunch of seats Labour took in 1997 they might not get now. Labour will end up with 300-320 seats.
With the SNP winning most traditional Labour seats in Scotland it'll be very difficult for Labour to secure a outright majority. We'll probably end up with a coalition involving Lib Dems and maybe the SNP.
I suspect we’ll have an election before September 2023
Probably something like this, I suppose. But it's all about getting people my age to vote, and compared to older voters, my age group vote in much smaller numbers, for all the parties.
From where Labour were in the last election, it is a very big step to getting an overall majority and may well be too much for them. This seems a more likely outcome.
Agreed that labour's total loss of Scotland makes a UK majority just about impossible.
I hope this is the outcome and the progressive parties have to form a coalition - and introduce PR so everyone's vote counts.
The tabloid press still hold enough sway over many and will push for a Tory government. A lot of people are going lap up the Thatcher cos-playing, French slagging off, tax cutting populist nonsense.
I can see the tired Conservatives losing seats, but no great enthusiasm for Labour either, so Labour will have to lead a minority or coalition government.
After what will be 15 years by the next one, I think enough people will be up for a change. Not enough for a majority, but enough to un-seat The Iron Weathercock.
We’ve run out of people worth voting for (again) but, yes, a coalition seems most likely at the moment.
wishful thinking
The nearest option to "none of the above".
Spurred on by my "success", I reckon the next election is Labour's for the taking but they'll screw it up. Enough to go into a minority government with support - and probably at the "cost" of electoral reform.
If the electorate gets organised and does some proper tactical voting then the fiddles and gerrymandering can be overcome but it will be a close run thing.
Labour minority govt, with SNP and Lib Dems forcing them into electoral reform, so that under PR we never have to have a Tory govt again.
Election in May 2023, hung parliament followed by a Lab/Lib Dem/Green coalition.
I thought the Cameron/Clegg combination worked well - Clegg acted as a brake on Cameron.
Maybe a Starmer/Whoever combination would work as well.
Bring on a Coalition of Chaos. Anything's got to be better than this.
A desperate coalition
Ideally a majority to get changes made, but will settle for this.
Tories are on course to lose a substantial number of seats but I think Labour will fall short of a majority. So a Labour minority government with Lib Dems providing 'supply and motion' support.
Some kind of lib/lab coalition seems a likely scenario
A very reluctant coalition.
A coalition. Happy days. The last one went well. Might work better with the SNP if Keith hadn't ruled this option out...
After 12+ years the Tories have pissed off any potential coalition partners. But without recovery in Scotland Labour won't get a majority. So Labour largest party in a hung parliament - probably a minority administration.
Yes
Need SNP coalition. Then devolution for Scotland. Then a thousand year Tory reign 😢
Growth of smaller parties. Still not enough to disrupt the system, but more representation across the country.
This one - gut feeling
Labour supported by lib-dems in coalition or confidence/supply
Would like to see a Labour majority. But I think this outcome is more likely.
It should be a walk in for Labour. But with Starmer's Labour so weak, timid and uninspiring, I'm guessing few people will feel motivated to get out to vote for them.
As others have said, the SNP will get virtually every seat in Scotland. That's going to make it very tough for labour to get the outright majority
Starmer can bounce in the country if Truss keeps making mistakes. He's got nothing interesting to offer, but that's still better than the dumpster fire we've just lit in parliament.
The real question is how much of our cheese we’ll be importing.
Pfft! This one
There's no way Tories are winning this after the whole fiasco that has been this term.
It's going to be a Lab/Lib (SNP?) coalition.

Truss will repel northern Tory voters (if her back-stabbing 'colleagues' have not replaced her within the next 12 months.)
Unlikely to have a formal coalition which may lead to a fairly unstable government
Tactical voting may well see a bitterly divided coalition which will see the back of Scotland
