Have Labour said theyll sit down with the train unions etc to sort all that shit out? They need to get a grip of HMRC I’m still owed around £20k on my pension the tories stole and it’s been dragged out because of that. Only 4 weeks to go and Roland Rat amd his twats will be history

YouGov poll due at 17.00 today, should hopefully be a belter broken down in every constituency.

Is there a potential problem with those who don't usually bother voting? Lazy Tory voters might get off their arses on July 4th if they think they might lose and voters of other parties might stay at home confident of a victory even if they don't vote.

Yeah point taken but I think on the whole the people interviewed certainly on TV who are apathic will remain so.

Could also work the other way if people realise that for example a Labour vote in a 'safe' Tory seat would actually matter.

Today’s debate so far seems to be National Security vs Needing your birth certificate to go to a public toilet.

A lot of Labour's communication seems to be stressing that nothing is guaranteed, and often sounds quite desperate to avoid complacency.

What you're describing is just one possible effect. There's equally likely to be people who assume the Tories will lose, and who won't want to bother voting for the loser. Others who want to vote for the winners.

It's also likely, that while the Tories will spend more money, and be able to post out more letters, they won't have anything like the number of volunteers knocking on doors as Labour and the Lib Dems.

On election day, if you live in a Lab/Lib Dem target and you've at any time given an indication that you might vote for them, then someone is almost certain to knock on your door. You'll be told how important it is to get to the polling station and offered help to get there if you need it. The Tories don't have anything like the same physical presence.

But you can swan up in a dinghy and disappear into the night.
