Google Trends has an excellent record of getting the big elections right, it predicted a narrow win for the Conservatives at the last election and said the US election between Clinton and Trump would be close but went for a narrow Clinton win which muddied the waters because she did get the most votes but due to the American system, it was Trump who planted his rotund backside in the Oval Office chair.
As we face an election on the 12th December, Google Trends is where we should be looking but it gives two very different stories depending on the search terms used.
If we go with the names of the parties then Labour are set to storm Downing Street and its Socialism for Christmas and the next five years and Boris Johnson can go back to racially abusing everyone in the Spectator but if we go with the leaders names...oh dear.
The Conservatives Boris Johnson is 55 points, 14 in front of Labours Jeremy Corbyn on 41 who lead Jo Swinsons Liberal Democrat Party on 36 which all means a majority win for the Conservative Party and a Boris Johnson arse groove in the Downing Street sofa.
Thankfully Nigel Farages Brexit Party is going down as well as a Nancy Pelosi Christmas Card at Donald Trumps house but as Britain has got it's own idiosyncrasies with its voting system, we need to take into account next weeks mid-December weather, Brexit, tactical voting and the chance that the British Public, once in the voting booth, regains its sanity.
