Methodology

A 20,000 person survey was conducted by FocalData in the week of the 1st July 2024. MRP (Multilevel Regression with Post-stratification) was used to analyse demographic trends and therefore establish an indicative result for each Parliamentary constituency. This is fundamentally the same technique that is regularly used to derive seat-level estimates of voting intention.
