Did you know why the Nazi salute was only half way Pete? They tried to get a Mexican wave going among pensioners and that's as far as they could get their arms. When a few hundred had their arms stuck at 90 degrees, it kinda stuck.

Won't solve much - unless a whole load of remaimers get turfed out, thus allowing Parliament to ratify/abide by / process the decision they (mistakenly*)asked the people to give them.

*the fact that they shouldn't have asked the people, because that's what people pay MPs to sort out - is another problem and another thread, but it is what it is.

At the very minimum, Tories biggest party in a hung parliament.

But unless Corbyn pulls off a miracle/promises the earth to everyone, a Tory majority is now a possibility. Corbyn/Labour are that laughable, arguably even more so than they were in 2017.

I'd probably settle for a score draw tbh.

Incidentally, I had my Vote Jo Swinson leaflet through the door this morning. She's on the ball, I'll give her that.

You dont think lib dems will be a factor in taking tory seats?

"You're jokin'. Not another one?!"

They will take off both. So yes they are a factor.

I think it all depends on whether the Brexit party stand everywhere, because that would hand seats to lib dems and stop labour losing northern seats.

Of course he will promise the earth to everyone, and I expect so will Boris. Corbyn had a free run against a stupid May last time, a woman with no personality and an absolutely foot shooting manifesto, I doubt Boris will make the same mistake.......

Hung parliament seems most likely if SNP sweep up Scotland as predicted, Lab/Plaid will hold steady in Wales so its all on England

That's the only thing making me doubt a Tory majority, but even with that and BXP the Tories will still be the largest party. Lib Dems will take Labour seats too.

Also bare in mind that the Tories won't have the hideously bad May in charge this time. Unfortunately Johnson has charisma and wins people over due to the reality TV show generation we have.

I can't see any road to a Labour majority.
