Not a conspiracy, just an observation. I don't think the debates have much affect on results, in fact I think the heckling, and booing, and the generally unbalanced audience puts the general voter off even watching. I know I had enough after 25 minutes

I think it's conspiratorial to state that the BBC purposely select an audience to back a certain political party. Massively so. It just isn't the case.
 
Among other things is his general attitude to everything and everyone one he disagrees with, you'd think a leader whose party had been annihilated would show some humility but not Farron, he's the Kopite of politics, everything is always someone else's fault, even his oen faillings. His hypocrisy on gay rights is staggering and his contempt of the electorate is breathtaking, he has zero principles and is ruled by his massively over inflated ego.

Well, okay, I can tell he clearly grates on you a lot. For me, Paul Nuttall was the most despicable person up there tonight though.

I agree that his Christian views on fat rights are somewhat worrying, however, they would never, ever be portrayed in policy. I don't think they're hypocritical either - unless he is gay?

He's standing as a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT heavens sake mate! He's neither of those things. Total hypocrite.

On the one hand, you have people saying that the BBC hand-pick a pro-Corbyn/left-wing audience.

On the other hand, you have people arguing that the BBC has been involved in a full on smear campaign against Corbyn (I mean, do you remember that Panorama episode!?).

Bias will always creep in where there are humans involved who have vested interests and motives, but the way @ToffeeTim describes it, you would think the BBC is a full on socialist propaganda machine.
 
If it's spread across the constituencies the Tories have pulled off a master stroke: to shoot at fish in a barrel and miss the barrel altogether.

Seems last night's yougov seat forecast. It was based on the 3 point margin in that poll.

But uniform swings across all UK regions ain't gonna happen.

It might not in Scotland, but elsewhere the polls have been going in the same direction since she called the election. Whether it is going to be enough is another matter.
