Westminster voting intentions weekly round up

Not really. It’s always been a relatively quiet thread.

14 pages backs that up.

Whilst I don’t give that much credence to opinion polls, given how badly wrong they’ve got things recently, I do actually find it quite a useful thread (when updated). Handy to have a quick snapshot of the various polls and all that. Guess the relative popularity of the two main parties is talked about in far more detail in other threads though so this one will always be more a point of reference than discussion.

I see such discrepancies in them each week that I can't take them too seriously tbh.

Only when brexit is finished if it ever is and polls are reflecting domestic policy only should we look to them for any real meaning again imo.

Latest polls showing that whilst remainers would maybe like to vote Lib Dem so that Article 50 can be revoked, they don't really believe (probably correctly) that the LD"s have any chance whatsoever of winning so their vote will go to Cons or Labour.

Labour if they think there's a chance of them scrapping Brexit, Cons if they just want it all over with and can't abide the thought of a Corbyn led government.

Lol, rest assured that if this thread is quiet the Tories must be doing well.....

Actually it is because I normally post, but have been busy on other threads to bother the last few weeks

I think this is a pretty accurate take.

I have decided to vote the LibDems as anything else other than Tory or LibDem is a wasted vote where I am but if I was in a marginal I don’t know what I’d do.

Well if it stops a tory getting a seat then do it.

If labour have a chance though I would say vote labour, but if they don't fucking the tories off is what counts
