General Election June 8th

He's in the north west tomorrow, not in a big city centre but in a constituency with a small Tory majority.

Engines of the economy? What about the workers? All these entrepreneurs slaving away on their own at minimum wage.

saw a thing about a lad called Phil Green - working so hard having to pay for his Mrs upkeep in Monaco - poor **** was down to his last yacht ......

Frankly Theresa May is a joke, no way I trust her she is spineless and incompetent.

Apparently said the naughtiest thing she did as a kid was run through fields of wheat.

More like sell her parent's kitchen knives to the local thugs.

Shades of 92 in this election. Watch the polls say Labour will win. JC will have a rally saying get ready for government then those Tory bastards get a substantial majority.

New Labour did a phenomenal job overall.

Socialism is dead mate, even Corbyn's manifesto isn't that far to the left, well it's certainly more centrist than I anticipated.

you will probably have to reconsider that on Friday morning

It's amazing what people will turn a blind eye to if you bribe them enough.

Labour are a one trick pony. They think everything is solved by spending more money on everything. Absolute loons, they will turn this country into a basket case economy make no mistake.

It works for the Tories - offer tax giveaways and hey presto you win. Thick Twat Theresa didn't attend that meeting it seems and she has offered to take money from the elderly after they die amongst other 25 yard screamers into her own goal

Agree with that. All of the press are cunts though, left and right wing. Wish The S*n would just shut up and fuck off.

I am not aware of this, left wing press, you speak of. Tell me more. :)

This is where my head is at.

Getting away from all the 'heatedness' that has crept into the thread these last couple of days - I think that it is approaching the time when we should consider setting out our predictions - free of bias and aspirations and reflecting our ability to be objective.

I have just been onto Betfair and I am going with a primary bet on:

Conservative majority between 50 - 74 @ 5.3

and with a secondary bet on:

Conservative majority between 75 - 99 @ 5.9

Anyone else willing to set out their genuine expectation as we near the line - as opposed to their preferred outcome?

The main reasoning I have for this prediction is that I think that on this occasion the UK voting system will work against Labour. I can see them doing really well - where they have traditionally done really well, but not really at all positioned to take seats off any party. I can see them losing a good number of marginal seats.

My thinking is also influenced by my researching of the Labour Party's own canvassing that shows a much worse situation than the polls.

I can see a lot of UKIP voters deserting to the Conservatives rather than Labour, because actually leaving the EU is important to them and can be a clear deciding factor amongst all the clamour of other electioneering - and also it should be clear to them that a coalition will not achieve Brexit.

I also think that Ruth Davidson has run a compelling campaign in Scotland and this will see the vast majority of those that want to protest against Indyref2 and/or Sturgeon, not behaving as traditionally and going to the Conservatives rather than Labour.

I also think, FWIW, that the number of undecided voters is very small so the impact of any concerted press scare-mongering will accordingly be very small.

I will be here on Friday to sit down to my humble pie as necessary - and when also we can all get back to hating all things red

The number 50 is around where i was thinking too.

Labour to win less than 200 seats. Conservative to win 80+
