Current Affairs The General Election

No, they wouldn't. Those regulations prevent a government from breaking the law, which is presumably a good thing.

Governments are supposed to make the law not dictated too by large corporations. And I have to say, it's the brand politics and economics that you and others a
subscribe too which has brought such venom towards our EU membership, a mess by your making.

Boris wanted the Election to be about Brexit, his wish has been granted... I hear Boris is now wanting to call his loose agreement to electorate a manifesto pledge, can't trust the Conservatives with the NHS.

YouGov poll suggesting a landslide Tory win.

Imagine having the bare faced cheek to be on here acting like a smug little bellend after what the country has been put through for the past decade. You're an absolute disgrace you lad and I've got not qualms saying you've absolutely no right to be supporting this working class club. Every day you are on here hand waving away concerns of others and acting like a total bellend.

Not even arsed if it catches me a ban. You need binning off from both the forum and Everton FC.

Nearly all the rumoured Labour losses are in Leave-supporting seats in the Midlands and North.

Hopefully the FBPE crowd and the Lib Dem’s will shut up for a bit now about Labour because Brexit is a certainty otherwise.

YouGov poll suggesting a landslide Tory win.

They called the hung parliament right last time and actually understated tory seats by about 10. I do think 359 seats looks a bit high and I'd be surprised they get that many, but they'd need to be very wrong for them not to get the 320 odd they need

This was my guess a few weeks ago, and as you see it's broadly in line with it.

My guess as of now would be 350 Tories, 195 Labour. A landslide, because I think Corbyn's Labour is that unappealing. But strangely it wouldn't take much to swing it the other way.

Labour have benefited slightly from the Lib Dem collapse, but Corbynites/Momentum still are completely oblivious to the bubble they're in.

I think it'll be slightly closer than that poll, 10 or so seats closer, but as I suspected, Corbyn hasn't had an opponent like Theresa May this time, who threatened her own base with the pensions and dementia tax.

Johnson will get his majority.

If he'd said, and said all along (as this is far from new), that he opposes the pharma industry having any leverage over NICE then no problems whatsoever. That's perfectly right.

He went all silly however by trying to suggest this is the NHS being sold off. It's nothing of the sort. It's the NHS potentially being fleeced for supplies. No more, no less.

I've said it is hyperbole, which I don't think helps matters. That said, it's not just about supplies, there's more in there about regulations, legislation...

And since the 'revelation' both the PM and Liz Truss have subsequently lied about the extent of the discussions while branding Corbyn a 'liar'.

Tory majority and Liverpool top of the league...

Joy.

The MRP was the poll to look out for.

Makes for very grim reading.

YouGov poll suggesting a landslide Tory win.

Regardless of result (best case hung parliament) The hardcore Momentum and Corbyn fans really need to reflect on the current approach.

It shuts down debate, it exaggerates and acts through paranoia. The constant 'enemy within' and unconditional politics just alienate so many people.

I'm still puzzled why the opposition wanted an election.

Normally I'd be calling a Tory majority a certainty at this point, but I'm still a bit unsure at this point. Everything recently has gone completely the opposite of what I expected. But I don't think it will this time.

To realistically stop the tories, labour need to keep them to under 315 seats I'd think. That needs Johnson to do something really stupid.

Ha yeah good luck with that lol

 

[tsubaki]

I love how a poll that suggests that the Labour vote in seats that voted Leave is collapsing, and that the Tories might pick them up as a result is somehow Momentum’s fault.

Some centrists really have no shame.

I'll give more detail tomorrow when I'm less tired. However it's as expected. It has an 11 point lead and most of the interviews were taken over a week ago. Last times ones was much closer.

Labour are much closer now, they've closed the gap significantly this week.

Tories have the advantage, but its closing all the time. The question will be by how much.
