Subject
Purpose
This note is designed to update you on two things and set out the principal challenges
for decision-makers which arise from them.
The two things are:
feedback from Regional Directors on the key seats list which we discussed with
them last week, including both seat-level suggestions and strategic concerns.
the results, which make for extremely sobering reading, of our multilevel
regression & poststratification (MRP) model of seat level outcomes using a very
large sample polling dataset from YouGov (fieldwork at the end of August).
These, especially the latter, present a number of challenges to us in terms of the
overall strategic posture of the Party going into the election, in particular,
whether the purpose of a key seat strategy is to use resources to maximize the
number of Labour MPs who have seats at the end of the process, or instead to
resource the seats which separate Labour from Downing Street.
how defensive our posture should be; and
how we react to the emergence of the Liberal Democrats as a credible threat to
Labour both in seats where they are currently a third party and in Labour-held
seats where in 2017 they came second.
Comprehensive appendices provide further information on the consequences of the
MRP model in terms of seats, individual Labour MPs who would lose their seats, and
the contrast with more simplistic models of electoral change (those based on uniform
national swing).

That list was based on discussions at head office between those who favour looking at
previous marginality and making assumptions of uniform national swing (hereafter,
UNS-based) approach as the primary basis for determining key seats, and those who
prefer a model-based approach.

It is also worth remembering that the electoral context of last autumn, with the
political system still largely polarized at that time between the Labour Party and the
Conservative Party, before the emergence of the Brexit Party and the Liberal
Democrats, informed the creation of the list.
There was at that point no obvious serious risk from minor parties (even if it was
already very clear that there were circumstances in which that threat might emerge
and that the development of such a threat would pose major problems for us) to what
might well have been a fairly simple two party fight such as we had ended the 2017
campaign with.
The list had been modulated however by the inclusion of a categorization of seats
using the modelling work from autumn 2018, which is for the same reasons subject to
the same caveats about the earlier political situation.
That categorization clustered seats by the absolute and relative size of three identified
principal challenges:
gaining voters directly from the Conservatives;
regaining voters who had previously voted Labour but did not do so in 2017;
retaining voters who voted Labour in 2017 but had either not previously been
voters or had previously supported another party.
Additionally although the list was largely offensive (see summary statistics in Table 1
below), it did contain a strong defensive element: around a third of the total set of
seats to be resourced were defensive.
The list also involved – again as Table 1 shows – a large investment in Scotland. There
is no evidence that organizational investment in Scottish seats will deliver improved
electoral outcomes and there is abundant evidence from the analysis of recent
general elections that spending money in contests where we are not competitive
(almost all contests in Scotland) is a much less efficient way of achieving changed
electoral outcomes than investing in tighter electoral contests elsewhere in Britain.
To achieve any given small percentage increase in voteshare for Labour in a seat in
Scotland where we are not regarded by the electorate as a serious rival to the

It was made clear to regional directors in opening remarks for each call that the
purpose of this list was the political objective of securing the next Labour government
rather than simply resourcing seats that currently looked tight, and therefore that
suggested changes to the list needed to be in line with that overall strategic objective,
although obviously wider concerns would be fed back as well.
It was also made clear that the purpose of this process was to seek feedback for
necessary amendments, and to raise concerns about how the list could best be
resourced, but that regions & nations were not being asked to “sign off” on the list. It
is for the political leadership to sign off the list.

evident momentum, and the politics (especially around Brexit) of ostensibly safe
Cambridge, and asked that we keep an eye on that seat, and be prepared to review
whether it should be included.
In the East Midlands, the Regional Director recognized the strategic thrust but also
flagged the political concerns which arose from withdrawing resourcing from some
early selection seats. She was especially concerned about Rushcliffe in this regard.
She felt that Sherwood would be a real challenge as demographically the seat was
sliding away from us in much the same way as High Peak seemed to be heading
towards us. She was also concerned that both Bassetlaw (the call took place before
John Mann’s defection) and Bolsover were seats which could be at risk from changed
political circumstances, and although Bassetlaw was fairly well organized, Bolsover
was markedly less able to run a modern campaign.
In London, the Regional Director and Deputy Regional Director were broadly happy
with the list which they felt represented a stretching but achievable step forward
given Labour’s strong position in the capital. However, they raised strategic concerns,
as detailed below. They also felt that the exclusion of the Uxbridge & South Ruislip
seat from the list was probably right from a point of view of not spreading resources
too thinly but flagged the possibility of political kickback from the local party once this
became clear.
In the North, the Regional Director understood the purpose and character of the list
and felt that the seats identified were largely correct given the strategic objective but
felt that Darlington and Workington, and possibly also Sedgefield, should be
resourced, if possibly centrally though if necessary she would work to make additional
regional resources available. These were seats with less ability than some others to
organize an effective campaign and where expected strong campaigns from the
Tories would need to be blunted. Were the campaign to take on a more defensive
character, she felt that both Hartlepool and Blyth Valley would be likely to need
support.
In the North West, the Regional Director was basically content with the list given the
strategic objective and emphasized the scale of the challenge many of these seats
represented. She had already made staffing dispositions which largely reflected this
set of priorities and would review those as the situation developed. She suggested
that it might be worth considering Altrincham & Sale West as an offensive target given
the nature of the Tory vote there, which while prosperous was also strongly pro-
Remain. She was slightly concerned about the absence of a defensive component to
efforts in the region and flagged both Warrington South and Weaver Vale as areas
which could come under threat very quickly if the nature of the campaign changed or
the Tory lead increased.
Additionally, the two Bury seats, for different reasons, needed to be kept under
review. Bury South in particular was complex as although we had lost support there
p5

in the Jewish community, this had happened before as a result of circumstances in the
personal life of the current MP and need not be fatal to our chances of holding the
seat. Heywood & Middleton was something of a wild card where the former Labour
council leader was standing for the Brexit Party, but he did not appear to have a
significant personal vote. Bolton had seen a miserable set of results in the spring
local government elections and she would be keeping an eye on it; similarly Blackpool
might end up needing to concentrate more on defending Blackpool South than
seeking to gain Blackpool North & Cleveleys.
For Scotland, the Deputy General Secretary ran through the rationale for the
alternative list suggested by the Scottish Labour leadership, which was of the same
size, but slightly different character, from the initial list. All Labour held seats (as on
our suggested list) were to be regarded as defensive key seats, but the 10 offensive
seats were subtly different reflecting both the character of the challenge and the
geography of possible resourcing. Changes were the deletion of East Renfrewshire,
Glasgow North West, Linlithgow & East Falkirk, West Dunbartonshire, and the addition
of Airdrie & Shotts, Dunfermline & West Fife, Edinburgh North & Leith, Lanark &
Hamilton East. These changes were accepted since they did not change the overall
number of key seats.
In the South East, the Regional Director was broadly content with the list given the
strategic objective, but asked that Thanet South, where there was no candidate
following NCC action, and the local party was currently extremely divided and
internally focused, be swapped with Reading West, where there was a strong and
hardworking candidate and a local party more likely to be able to translate additional
resources into effective campaigning. This change was accepted since it did not
change the overall number of key seats, or the balance between offensive & defensive
seats. She also flagged Portsmouth South as a potential defensive seat to consider. It
had been a 2017 gain from the Tories, and a Lib Dem seat until 2015, and both parties
retained strong organization there; furthermore the constituency aggregate for this
year’s local elections showed that the seat would have been gained by the Lib Dems.
In the South West, the Regional Director was broadly content with the list given the
strategic objective. He asked however that North Swindon, where the candidate’s
conduct had caused a number of concerns and was likely by itself to make both that
seat and adjacent South Swindon much harder, be swapped with Filton & Bradley
Stoke, which seat was better organised, had stronger relationships with major unions,
was more focused on victory and where the hill to climb was lesser. He also flagged
that the Tory MP in North Swindon was an effective campaigner whereas the Tory MP
in Filton & Bradley Stoke was fairly hopeless. This change was accepted since it did not
change the overall number of key seats, or the balance between offensive & defensive
seats.
The Welsh General Secretary expressed her concern about the absence of any
defensive seats on the list in Wales. She thought all of Gower, Vale of Clwyd,
p6
memo: confidential The Labour Party
Wrexham, Ynys Môn, and Cardiff North were potentially in need of resourcing, above
all given recent Welsh polling, and that although she understood the rationale and
supported the objective, she did wonder whether a slightly more defensive posture
might be appropriate given that we had a Welsh Labour government and therefore
our campaign in Wales could not have the insurgent character of an election
campaign in England.
For the West Midlands, the Regional Director was extremely concerned about many
currently Labour-held seats, which in view of the current political situation he
regarded as at risk from the Tory advance which the polls seemed to suggest. He
accepted the point about the political desire for a strong offensive strategy, but were
a more defensive strategy to be adopted he would be keen to resource Stoke-on-
Trent North, Stoke-on-Trent Central, Birmingham Northfield, Wolverhampton North
East. He felt that both Nuneaton, and Halesowen & Rowley Regis, were right at the
outer edge of what we could realistically aim for in current circumstances.
In Yorkshire & the Humber, the Regional Director felt that this was an ambitious list,
matching the objective of resourcing the seats which currently stood between us and
a Labour government. Some of these seats were going to be extremely challenging,
perhaps most obviously Morley & Outwood, which although marginal on paper would
be extremely hard for us to actually win, as the long term demographic trends were
pulling it away from us. He noted that resourcing Scarborough & Whitby with staff
would be hard given its geographic distance from the rest of the Labour areas in the
region, and drew attention to the wider resourcing issues in the region. In terms of
the defensive element of the list for Yorkshire & the Humber, he agreed with the
inclusion of Colne Valley, Keighley, and Penistone & Stocksbridge, the last of which he
thought would be extremely hard. He noted without demurring that Sheffield Hallam
was not on the list, but wondered whether some of the more “Remainy” Labour-held
seats where there was a clear threat from the Liberal Democrats shouldn’t perhaps be
on the list, in particular Leeds North West.
He raised also the concerns that Jon Trickett MP had repeatedly raised about his own
ostensibly safe seat in Hemsworth, in the Wakefield district, where the Tories were
strong and support for Brexit had been high. Trickett was keen to secure an organiser
for the area and if this this was to be resourced it would probably work best if the
staff member concerned could cover the district as a whole, since insofar as the
concerns Trickett raised were justified, they were also concerns in Wakefield itself and
in the Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford seat. He also asked that we keep an eye
– especially if the wider electoral context became more difficult and the list were to be
reviewed – on Great Grimsby and Scunthorpe, and on Rother Valley, all of which were
areas where a strong performance by the Brexit Party could end up seeing the seat
fall to the Conservatives.
The full list and the changes made as a result of these conversations are attached as
Appendix 1 to this note.

The London Regional Director and Deputy Regional Director felt that both the key
seats on the list and also a large number of ostensibly safer Labour-held seats in
London were at risk of a strong Liberal Democrat performance in the city, which given
their result in the European elections was not a remotely unlikely outcome.
The South West Regional Director, plus the London Regional team, emphasized the
importance of a uniform approach to dealing with early selection seat candidates
whose seat was not included on this list, since the candidates all communicated with
one another across regional boundaries.
Essentially, MRP uses a very large amount of information about the electorate as a
whole, plus a statistical model allowing a large number of different variables to be
taken into account at both individual and area (contextual) levels, to make very
precise predictions about particular small populations (that is, constituencies) within
the wider population.
p8
memo: confidential The Labour Party
MRP allows a large number of locally important contextual variables to be taken into
account in a statistically robust way. It therefore represents a much more rigorous
approach than the traditional “draw up a list based on uniform national swing and
make a few ad hoc changes based on informed hunches not based on numerically
explicit analysis”.
The volume of people required in a polling sample for estimates prepared using MRP
to be robust means that endeavouring to build such a model on the back of the small-
sample polling the party conducts for other purposes is seldom economical, and may
lead to severe error. At the start of the 2017 snap election, absent any polling data
from established we had to use data from a badly sampled BMG poll to create models
to predict the outcomes of the election if the polls didn’t move.
Not only did the polls move substantially, especially in the last few weeks of the
election, but we were intensely aware that our model was an imperfect basis for
allocating resources because it relied on poor data and in consequence projections
for many areas came with a wide margin of error. Having a rigorously produced and
statistically robust model which could act as a basis at once defensible and sensible
for resource allocation across the Party ahead of the next election should help
manage the politics of supporting different seats with different levels of resource and
moving from an Early Selections List based solely on marginality to one based on a
more sophisticated approach.
A further advantage of MRP over constituency-level polling is that once the analysis
has been done and the post-stratification frame has been constructed, it is fairly
straightforward both (a) to use a smaller subsequent dataset to update the underlying
model quickly, and (b) to revise it slightly to generate predictions on any given set of
different boundaries.
Before commencing the use of the dataset for MRP, we conducted an assessment of
its quality, of which the key points are as below.
Sample size
The sample size is fairly large and contains a reasonable list of demographic
variables.
Including those whose voting intention is “Don’t know”, n = 23,391.
Excluding those whose voting intention is “Don’t know”, n = 19, 370.

Assessment
Our view is that this dataset, considered as a whole, is highly representative of the
British electorate and a very suitable basis for MRP analysis to make constituency
level predictions.
YouGov polling top lines have often been slightly less favourable to Labour than those
of other pollsters, but the size and quality of the dataset makes us extremely reluctant
to regard that as a source for concern, especially since some of the basis for such
concerns in general surrounds methodological issues around weighting which in an
internally conducted analysis are much more under our control.
Key points from the initial analysis of the dataset considered as a whole are as
outlined below.
Table 7. National Voteshares in the polling dataset used for MRP (excluding
“don’t know”s).
p12
memo: confidential The Labour Party
Table 8. National Voteshares in the polling dataset used for MRP (including
“don’t know”s).
However, provided the polling data can be acquired at reasonable cost, as here, then
it is efficient to do it in house. Staff in the Targeting & Analysis team have been on
training to use Bayesian techniques to enable them to emulate the approach YouGov
took to this, in-house.
Unlike most other people doing MRP work who have adequate access to high volumes
of polling data, but have trouble with all three of:
constructing an adequate turnout model;
constructing a post-stratification frame (the P of MRP), whereby a model is
related back to the electorate of each individual constituency;
computational issues associated with the model itself;
p13
memo: confidential The Labour Party
Modelling turnout effectively remains a challenge for polling firms. To take into
account differential turnout we weight voter types in each constituency by their
predicted turnout propensity before aggregating predictions to the constituency level.
Turnout propensity scores (which we create on a regular basis from marked register
data, to assist local parties with their campaigning) measure – on a scale between 0
and 100 – how likely electors are to turnout to vote, estimated from their
demographic characteristics and contextual information. These estimates are based
on a large sample of complete 2017 marked register data. This means that rather
than using self-reported turnout, which is what polling companies have to rely on, we
use turnout estimates based on actual 2017 turnout. Our models are therefore much
more likely to be accurate.
One caveat for this approach however is that it assumes similar demographic turnout
patterns in a snap general election as in the 2017 general election. This is a problem
faced by polling companies as much as by us. There is currently no alternative known
to us, other than not including any turnout weighting which traditionally is expected
to show worse results (less accurate) than using turnout weightings based on turnout
in the last election.
Our MRP approach and what data it uses about areas and individuals
Finally, constituency political data covers all relevant recent electoral data, including
constituency vote share for all major parties in the 2015 and 2017 general elections,
and estimated proportion of people voting Leave in the 2016 EU Referendum.
p14
memo: confidential The Labour Party
There were differences for Scotland, where data availability is slightly more limited.
Some constituency-level demographics, such as employment categories and
percentage in poor health, were absent. However, one variable – proportion of
Catholic residents by constituency (%) – was included for Scotland for the purpose of
helping to distinguish better between Labour and SNP supporters.
Firstly, it assists at the very highest level by identifying the nature of the challenge as a
whole: whether the likely outcome of the next election unless the polls move is a
change in our favour in terms of seats, or a change which harms us, and allowing an
informed consideration of whether resource allocation should reflect an objective (as
p15
memo: confidential The Labour Party
the current list does) of resourcing the seats which stand between us and
government, or an objective of resourcing seats where those resources are most likely
to have maximum effect on the overall outcome of the election.
Secondly, it helps us by separating clearly within a key seat list, the notions of
marginality and winnability. It provides very precise estimates of what current polls
imply for each seat given the demographic and political context of that seat as well as
the characteristics of its electors, and thus allowing seats that are close but with little
room for Labour to advance to be differentiated from those where there is a larger hill
to climb numerically, but a much higher chance of us succeeding in climbing it.
Note also that the Speaker’s seat is here assumed to go Conservative, since he has
announced that he is standing down, and therefore these numbers represent party
strengths immediately before the election of a new Speaker.

The full consequences of such a defeat for Labour and analyses of how it would
happen are included in Appendices 3-12.
Appendix 3 sets out a full list of Labour MPs who on this MRP analysis would lose
their seats, broken down by the Party to which they would lose.
Appendix 5 lists all the seats which we would gain were the result to follow this
analysis.
Appendix 6 lists all the seats which we would be losing to the Conservatives largely
because of a LibDem surge, where the predicted Liberal Democrat increase in
voteshare would be greater than the predicted Tory majority.
Appendix 7 lists the constituencies which a simple uniform national swing analysis of
the same dataset would suggest that we would win but our more sophisticated MRP
approach suggested we would lose.
Appendix 9 is a list of all the current key seats (on the list in Appendix 1) where the
Liberal Democrats would see a bigger improvement than us. It is in fact the same list
as Appendix 1: this appears to be true of all the key seats.
Appendix 10 is a list of Labour-held seats which we would not hold on the MRP model
but where we would come within a margin of 4% or less: these are seats where
organizational resource allocation could plausibly achieve a different outcome.
Appendix 11 is a list of Early Selection Seats which we would not gain on the MRP
model but where we would come within a margin of 4% or less: these are seats where
organizational resource allocation could plausibly achieve a different outcome.
Appendix 12 is a somewhat disheartening list of the Labour MPs remaining after the
defeat that this analysis suggests.

Challenges to consider
We believe that this analysis presents the party’s campaign leadership team with a set
of difficult challenges, of which the below is intended as a summary.
Nature of posture
On this analysis the result of the next election will, on current trends, represent a
significant step backward for Labour.
Our current resourcing is largely focused on making a major step forward and on the
basis of the work here the criticism we should expect immediately after the election
was that a campaign resourcing model based on pouring money into seats we didn’t
expect to come anywhere near winning, and starving seats which ended up being very
close, is a massive misallocation of the resources of the Labour Party.
Ultimately the nature of the campaign we seek to fight is a political decision, but we
believe it should be an informed political decision.
Choice of seats
On this analysis there are some seats (listed in Appendix 11) which we might wish to
consider adding to the key seat list. We have not prepared a full review of the key
seat list in light of the MRP work presented here, but we expect that will be the focus
of our work in the days and weeks ahead.
Instead, in a way very reminiscent of the threat they posed to us in the 2005 general
election, their ability to take votes from us, and to attract from among swing voters
support that we otherwise might have been able to rip from the Tories.
We will need to have clear strategies for (i) blunting their appeal directly in seats
where they are directly in competition with us for victory, and (ii) squeezing their vote
and limiting their ability to attract votes

different pro-Remain party, if we are not clearly a pro-Remain party. There are
obvious political consequences which flow from such an understanding.
We will be exploring this point further in analyses over the coming weeks, to check
that this is indeed the case.
We will pick this work up with Tom Geldard and Tom Lavelle as soon as possible.

Appendix 6. List of constituencies which the MRP model predicts we would lose to
the Conservatives because of LibDem surge.
This is a list of every seat which the model predicts would be lost to the Conservatives,
principally by virtue of the expected strong Liberal Democrat performance. These are
the places where the expected improvement in the Liberal Democrat performance
since 2017 is modelled to be greater than the Tory margin of victory based on our
analysis. There are 75 such seats.

Appendix 8. List of constituencies which UNS says we lose but MRP says we win.
This is a list of constituencies which a simplistic Uniform National Swing model (the
one used by the website https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk) suggests Labour would
lose but which our more sophisticated MRP approach suggests we would win.

Appendix 9. List of all current key seats where the Liberal Democrats would see a
bigger improvement than us.
This list is, simply, all current key seats (the whole of the list in Appendix 1).
This brings home the scale of the threat from the Liberal Democrat surge which we
face.

Appendix 10. List of Labour-held seats which we would not hold on the MRP model
but we would come within a margin of 4% or less.
These are the 42 seats where, were we to be focused on spending resources so as to
maximize the number of Labour MPs, we would probably focus our resources.
These are seats where we expect on our model to lose the seat but where (given the
small margin of expected Tory victory) resource allocation from head office in pursuit
of a defensive strategy could make a difference to the outcome.
If we won all of these in addition to the seats in Appendix 12, and no other additional
seats, we would have 180 seats as against 138. If we won all of these and also all the
seats in Appendix 11, we would win 185 seats as against 138.

These are the Early Selection Seats which we would not gain on the MRP model but
