LONDON, Dec 7 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson's Conservative Party is on course to win a parliamentary
majority of 38 seats in Thursday's election, according to a new
poll, the Sunday Times' political editor reported.
A Datapraxis poll, using the multilevel regression and
post-stratification (MRP) model, predicted that the
Conservatives would win 344 seats, with the opposition Labour
Party taking 221, the Times's Tim Shipman said on Twitter.
"Their last MRP, two weeks ago gave a majority of 48," he
said, adding the poll was based on 500,000 YouGov interviews
using the Datapraxis model.
