Electoral Calculus continues to update the headline prediction live in real time 
as new opinion polls are published. 

As the election continues to be very close, the Conservatives have regained a one 
half per cent lead over Labour in the opinion polls. They continue to be ahead 
in the betting markets, so the overall average gives them a small advantage in 
terms of seats. The Conservatives are currently predicted to be the largest 
party. 

But the central case for the election outcome is a hung parliament, with Labour 
and the SNP as the largest bloc. They may or may not have a majority. 

The averages: Con 34 (+1), Lab 31 (-1), Lib 10 (nc), UKIP 14 (+1), Grn 5 (nc). 

The new national prediction is that the Conservatives will be 46 seats short of a 
majority, winning 280 seats (+3 seats since 26 April).
