Current Affairs The General Election

[catcherintherye]

Two day blitz ahead.

They have had a massive blitz over the last few days. Its had no effect or a negative affect.

Their feeling was, the vote leave strategy would see a late swing to them. No such luck currently.

Absolute panic in CCHQ especially as this NHS story doesn't go away and continues to dominate the news.

 

[Davidoff]

Their lead has dramatically reduced over two weeks.

Take that into account, plus the youth turnout and the amount of marginals there’s still a lot in this.

Their margin of error has tories between 311 and 367, talk about hedging

No way they can accurately predict the youth vote, December election, how willing brexiteers are to cross from red to blue, and how much the lib dem vote will collapse

Media are panicking and throwing everything they can at Labour, this will be a lot closer than is being portrayed

 

[ToffeeTim]

I still think very small tory majority the most likely.

In reality you only need 320 for a working majority, not 325.

Take out speaker and sinn fein.

Two day blitz ahead.

Weren't they projecting a 68 seat Tory majority 2 weeks ago?

That's some reassessment. I dont care for YouGov. They're a BS organisation.

Even so, that must have alarm bells ringing with the Tories. A failure of enough serfs to follow through with their threat to vote Tory in those LP heartlands (and / or tactical voting in THEIR heartlands) will put them in hung parliamant territory and an effective defeat.

 

[Big_nev]

Wow.

 

[davek]

Wow.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

They are monsters.

The amount of helmets calling him "Boris", btw - allowing him the veneer of being human...then they wonder what the fuss is about calling him by his first name.

Some people are utterly clueless.

er...he is human

 

[davek]

The very least the

er...he is human

Technically.

Technically.

lol

The least those constituents in the north thinking of voting for that lot on Thursday could do is just walk their whippets and feed their ferrets all day until 11pm passes. If they dont want to vote Labour, dont denigrate their parents' and grandparents' memories voting for the people they struggled all their lives to keep from being ground into the dust by. Not too much to ask like, is it - respecting their own flesh and blood?

 

[Jebus_lives]

Regardless of Corbyn Labour feeling towards Blair, this is very good.

 

[davek]

lol lol lol

Talk of a red wave rather than red wall after that MRB poll is maybe overegging it, but the Tories are in a blind panic with their 'massive majority' apparently in tatters.

Two massive days left.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Feeling pretty dejected about this general election and trying to avoid it as much as possible.

Tories and Johnson lie continually and get away with it. A fact check of the Tory campaign literature showed a huge % of ads contained outight lies - but with zero consequence.

Instead it seems the media at large, the thick, the bigoted, the angry and the disaffected just seem to lap it up.

I still think Corbyn has been poor but with Swinson and the Lib Dems even worse I struggle to see any option for any sane mind now but Labour.

Well, that latest Poll is a ray of hope, Dave.

I wonder was it taken before the full extent of the disaster day the Tories had yesterday had been realised.

Be great if it was.
