I know it's been said before but none of these 'Party Leaders' would find employment of any kind outside of politics. It really is a case of picking the best of a bad bunch........

It's not just in Britain but around the world, nothing but shambolic, unpragmatic, idealist, career politicians who have no intention nor the capability of changing anything.
 
Give him praise Pete, you cannot argue with any of them policies. Gonna save a lot of our fans a lot of money and convenience

The flexible train ticket is a fantastic idea

We already have a flexible train ticket. It is called a day-saver. A £5 note will get you as many journeys as you want to do in any one day on Merseyrail. I use it all the time.
 
6,7,10 & 12 point leads in the 4 polls out tonight. Average of roughly 9 points. Would give Tories over 50 of a majority.

To be honest I think the polls are slightly overestimating labour support here. And I see about a 10 point margin on the day, and about a majority of 70. Which wouldn't be that good for Theresa May at all given the circumstances really but gives her to 2022 to get brexit done.

My other feeling is that there's every chance Labour are gaining support in the wrong places, if anyone gets what I mean. They could well be piling on votes and votes in metropolitan, urban areas (bar Scotland), and squeezing tories even further in these areas. But not actually making any ground in marginal areas like the midlands.
 
I have received the election leaflets fromvthe Labour and Lib Dems in the fair constituency of Southport today.
They are both too shiny to use as toilet paper, but are comical in their own ways.
Labour, a very distant third, reckon they can win in Southport if people vote for them.
Lib Dem ignore Labour and have gone into full on attack mode about the Tory candidate because he lives in Preston, so would be an hour away, whereas their candidate was born, educated, raised a family and still lives in this fair town. This to me shows that she is sadly lacking in ambition and I would not wish to bring the trauma of homesickness to her, as I would hope that whoever gets in spends most of their time at the House of Commons.
Can't wait to see the Tory crap, but the drawing of genitalia on the voting form is looking favourite.
Bring back the Southport Party say I.

ICM one was 14 points I think. They were close to accurate at the 2015 election

Yeah just saw that. So tonight we had 6,7,10,12 & 14. Absolutely all over the place. Although trend looks like Labour have peaked and slight widening is likely through to polling.

Still sticking by a margin in a fortnights time of about 10-11 points.
