Caravan helps predict who’s going to be the next prime minister on BBC show
Move over Cameron, Miliband and Farage, there’s a new contender in town as an Airstream International 684 is scheduled to appear on BBC show, Panorama on 27 April as part of a report on statistics concerning the general election. Okay, so maybe it’s not a contender, but the 684 will certainly be a lot easier on the eye, that’s for sure.
American statistician, Nate Silver, borrowed the 684 from it’s owner Tom Jones, who also accompanied him, and travelled with it around the UK in an effort to poll opinions about the fast-approaching general election.
Silver has had great success in the past after rightly predicting the outcome of the past two U.S presidential elections, so it will certainly be interesting to see what he has to say for himself.
Presenter Richard Bacon joined Silver as he toured the length and breadth of Britain in the Airstream in a bid to estimate the outcome of one of the most highly anticipated elections in years.
Jones spoke of their travels, saying: “It was great fun going round the country with the team – we went everywhere from Skegness to Scotland and at one point we parked up in the middle of Bury Market. As for the election result, I think it’ll be a close call but I’ve an idea where I’ll be putting my money.”
The anticipation is killing us! To find out about Silver’s prediction, tune into BBC Panorama at 8:30pm on 27 April. Whilst you wait, do you dare to display your political allegiances below?
