650 constituencies, not 632. 326 Seats needed for a majority.

Sorry! You’re right. Quoted from a Swedish newspaper. I now see from the Yougov poll that it did not cover Northern Ireland.

Note to self: Never, ever, use secondary sources!

“650 constituencies, not 632. 326 Seats needed for a majority.”

>> “A majority technically requires 326 MPs (half of all seats plus one), but a small number of MPs – including the Speaker, his deputies and the members of Sinn Féin – don’t usually vote. This means a working majority can be achieved with just under 50% of seats.”

320 seats probably will be sufficient for a “working majority”.
