Carol Vorderman: ‘I wish the race in Bristol Central wasn’t between two great women with strong political voices’
Clifton resident Carol Vorderman has shared an Electoral Calculus poll that predicts the Green Party will receive 52 per cent of the votes in Bristol Central at the general election.
This would see Green co-leader Carla Denyer become the new constituency’s first MP and prevent Thangam Debbonaire from taking her expected seat in a Keir Starmer cabinet.
Vorderman wrote on X that her views were “politically independent observations” but that “experienced Green councillors in my ward really are excellent & engaged”.
is needed now More than ever
She told her almost one-million followers that the “Greens are fighting hard” after winning all of the seats in the wards that make up Bristol Central.
She also said that “vote Green signs are in houses all around” and that Green Party co-leader Denyer “is known & popular locally”.
Vorderman tweeted: “Bristol Central is a new and unusual constituency (& an ace place to live!)… We still poll as one of highest REMAIN votes. With one of lowest age range (I’m an oldie here??)
“High level of young graduates (students love to stay living in Bristol…it’s pretty beautiful AND chilled)
“Even local Tories hate the Tories, and will probably switch to Green not Labour.
“A Bristol Central ‘spirit’ is generally ‘rebellious’ (suits me down to the ground…ha).”
Vorderman added: “I wish the race wasn’t between two great women with strong political voices, but it is.”
