Many thanks to all those who entered the PB Predictions Competition this year.  I have tried to capture all the entries with the help of a PB database scan from TSE. 

The 66 entrants we have found are listed below and every entry is detailed in the linked spreadsheet. 

If you think you entered and your entry is not listed please Private Message me with the date and time you posted your entry – if can find your valid entry I will update the list.

Most of us appear to have attempted sensible answers – though only time will tell of course. 

However, there are a fair few (presumably) tongue-in-cheek answers which add some interest.  I am trying to decide which of the following have the most difficult path to fruition:

• The Democrats losing 80 seats in the House?
• Zero Reform MPs by the end of the year?
• Ed Davey as UK PM?
• Emmanuel Macron as UK PM? !
• A Carney/Rayner joint UK premiership? !!

But even more outlandish than any of those, two posters proposed as World Cup winners: Scotland!

Many regular posters have entered as one would expect.  But the competition also seems to attract a few lurkers who rarely post. 

This time it looks like one person’s first and only post is their competition entry while another poster has made three posts in three years: their entries to the 2024, 2025 and now 2026 competitions.   You are most welcome, but do feel free to share your views outside of competition times!
