General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Ban-jani]

So Remainers, are we voting LibDem or Labour?

It's such a fucking shambles I'm almost past caring!

Labour.

 

[SWP's back]

This is nailed on to happen. There’s no way the Cons are getting a majority, even with the DUP. Nigel is Boris’ one and only hope. Just have to hope that there are enough sensible leave voters in northern towns that realize a no deal Brexit with Nige and Bozo would be a complete disaster for them.

I agree, I’ll be lending my vote to Labour if the election is called.

Sounds like a line from a Carry On film.

Carry On Boris?
Carry on Brexit?

Actually that last one might make quite a good farce.

LibDem.

Our third GE since 2015. When we had the choice between Cameron and chaos with Ed. I chose chaos with Ed. Thanks for that Ed.

Are there many, if any, seats where the BP could actually get elected? And would Farage agree to such a deal if it meant only standing in seats where Labour has a huge majority?

I'd guess about 50 or so are at risk, out of about 580 in England/Wales. More might change party, but not go to the BP.
I think most voters will prefer a party with a rounded manifesto than a single-issue party - BP couldn't even take Peterborough, against a 500 majority.

I usually vote Lib Dem or Green, so in this case its probably going to be Lib Dem.

It would however demonstrate that the Conservatives (a) don't think they can win, and (b) are willing to put Brexit above everything.

That's a huge risk, and the other parties really should be able to capitalise on either point.

Labour will win where I am. They're not losing a 30k majority.

 

[crooky]

Labour will win where I am. They're not losing a 30k majority.

Same with Tories here, with a 22k majority in a seat where only 65k voted.

Dare I say pointless to vote.

Lib Dem but then I usually do vote for them at a GE.

It’s true that the Lib Dem’s will not take many seats off of Labour. But in Tory/ Labour marginals they might take enough votes to let the tories in. Rather as the SDP did in 1983

I don't think the comparison with 1983 is that valid, there's the Brexit Party effect to consider as well, especially if there's no pact with the Tories.
