Army of secret Tory voters could make huge dent in Labour super-majority when they head to polls, Sun experts say

AN army of secret Tory voters could make a dent in a Labour super-majority when they head to the polls, The Sun's experts say.

Many number-crunchers are predicting wipeout for the Tories on July 4 - with Sir Keir Starmer's party set to win a huge majority.

Our Political Editor Harry Cole said Rishi Sunak's campaign has been so "dire" it is now "cringe" to say you vote Conservative.

But he said that some people may still plump for the Tories in the secrecy of the ballot box.

It comes as JL Partners director Scarlett Maguire revealed the polling firm has forecast a smaller majority for Sir Keir than many expect.

Speaking on today's episode of Never Mind the Ballots, he said fears of a Labour "super-majority" may stop one actually happening.

Harry said: "Some people, and some of them are related to me, walked into that room thinking they had made up their minds.

"But they actually thought Rishi did better than they were expecting him to do.

"Has this election campaign has been so dire for Rishi Sunak that actually it's a bit cringe to say you're going to vote Tory?

"About super-majorities, about trust. The shy Tories, the '92 thing - is it real? Could it come back?

"I don't think they're going to win - but could it not be the wipeout we think?"

Pollster Scarlett said: "I think it's not so much even about the shy Conservatives.

"They are people actively sort of lying to pollsters and saying I'm not going to vote for them but then secretly doing that anyway.

"I think it's more that there's a genuine uncertainty and volatility amongst some voters who have decided.

"There are also some voters who are currently telling us they don't know.

"I really do think we don't actually quite know how they'll vote - it does seem like the super-majority line could work.

"Even 1 in 4 Labour voters say they don't want a Labour super-majority.

"We know it appeals to Reform voters and to 2019 Conservative voters.

"It's whether that's enough on the day - and I think we just actually won't quite know.

"We'll have a better sense in the last few days of the campaign, but I don't think we can quite know that yet."

It comes after Harry grilled PM Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer live at The Sun's London HQ yesterday.

Rishi warned Brits will suffer under a Labour government while taking questions from Sun readers.

He said Keir Starmer won't tell you what he'll do in power - because he knows you won't like it.
