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.
I’d imagine there are a large number yes. This election is largely going to be cast as a second referendum.
If Farage only cares about Brexit and that would be the best way to achieve it as part of a coalition government, why wouldn’t he?
The Tories lose nothing by not contesting northern town centres really though. They’ve not been elected there in a century so I don’t think (a) is accurate.It would however demonstrate that the Conservatives (a) don't think they can win, and (b) are willing to put Brexit above everything.

They’ve already proven both of those. They have the most right wing cabinet in their history and they’ve just sacked 21 of their mp’s for voting against a disaster no deal. They are now a BNP, UKIP, Brexit Party cocktail fighting on one policy regardless of the damage it causes.
What was the referendum result?Labour will win where I am. They're not losing a 30k majority.
Voting for someone else mate.At that point there is no difference between the two parties so where does that leave the 30% or so of Tory voters who are Remainers?
Unless they change leader and cabinet; re-instate the 21 and take no deal off the table they are going nowhere fast.The current mob have, yes.
A GE could allow them to re-set themselves, but I agree that they've backed into a corner for now.

I think Boris is putting Brexit ahead of everything which is why I won’t be voting Tory.
Because Corbyn wants to leave.The last GE was called to give May a Brexit mandate. Labour talked about everything but Brexit.
