General Election 2019 - 12th December

[Bentley Bullet]

Not sure I get your drift.

[albie]

Johnson might pull the GE after amendments kick in.

[Donnywolf]

No might about it

He has said that they WILL pull the Bill if 16/17 year old amendment is passed because to implement it would mean a probable delay of 9 months to a year

Similarly giving the resident EU citizens the vote would do the same

and he would DEFFO pull it if someone got through an amendment pinning a Second Ref to it 

[DonnyOsmond]

Has anyone tabled PR?

[keith79]

People will always vote labour around here.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Why in God's name would anyone vote Green in this election?

If the Green's get 8-10% of the vote,they'll get 1 seat and Johnson will get a huge majority.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Principles are grand, but we need a bit of pragmatism.

I want my kids to learn from their mistakes, but I still grab them by the collar if they start walking off the pavement in front of a car

  Keith79, I doubt Yvette Cooper and Ed Milliband will be re-elected.

I'll have a tenner bet to our favourite charities that you're wrong on both of them.

because they probably don’t like Corbyn as much as boris?

Anyone who votes Greens won't be right wing.

[albie]

Johnson is now restoring the whip to some of those he kicked out.

I wonder why?

I'd be amazed if the majority of people voting Green would prefer Johnson to Corbyn.

[bpoolrover]

Sorry I meant like either of them not boris more

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Now to find someone worth voting for. Wish us luck!

This is the Corbyn who praised Extinction Rebellion and adopted a Green New Deal and the Johnson who called ER 'unco-operative crusties, littering London'. Hope all your predictions are as insightful as that...

[bpoolrover]

It was not a prediction! I know as you will as well labour voters that won’t vote for Corbyn

[Mr1Croft]

I think it's almost impossible to predict the result of said election given how volatile the polls have been since early Feb when Theresa May's Premiership began to fart out of existence.

But (and it's a big but), if Farage's Brexit Party campaigns on a platform of WTO/No Deal against Boris' deal, I'm making my prediction as follows:

Labour: 292
Conservatives: 257
SNP: 49
Lib Dems: 28
Sinn Fein: 9
DUP: 8
Plaid Cymru: 3
Green: 1
Other: 3 (Including new speaker)

We'll see how far off the mark I am on Friday 13th...

 

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Substantially lee, not in a million years will labour get close to that many seats.

[bpoolrover]

Can’t see it mr Croft, may was woeful in her election campaign, this time the polls have tories well ahead and when it comes to it Tory voters will not vote Farage if it looks like Corbyn will get in, my prediction if boris doesn’t say anything ridiculous in his campaign is a decent Tory majority

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I think don valley may well be an interesting seat. Flint doesnt have a huge majority and is fairly unpopular.  Locally of course labour will walk the others.

So the tories are history then?

[bpoolrover]

Lol maybe Sydney, I think he only needs to keep a low profile, they have already got ahead with the queens speech which was pretty much a party broadcast,for labour to get anywhere near there going to have to come up with something very different and quick

[bpoolrover]

All the major bookies have tories winning a majority as the favourite at around evens, slightly ahead of no overall majority at 11/10 the average of a labour win with a majority averaging at around 18/1

[hoolahoop]

I think this will pass even without labour, if labour are to have any chance they need rid of corbyn and pick a better brexit strategy, so far all there doing is making boris a brexit martyr

For once we agree.

For anyone who isn't just black inside x

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Tactical voting? Just call it vote labour.....

[DonnyOsmond]

Tactical voting? Just call it vote labour.....

Or Lib Dems, SNP, Green, etc. Depending on location.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Tactical voting? Just call it vote labour.....

Well yeah. That's the hard reality for anyone who really doesn't want to enable a Johnson Govt.

In most seats, in most places, it is a fact that an anti-Johnson person voting for anyone other than Labour will make a Johnson Govt more likely.

This is by some way the most important GE since 1945. It is one which will define the nature of the country for decades.

You CANNOT allow yourself the cop out of a vote for a party with no chance of winning your seat. It needs the most hard-headed pragmatism.

Meanwhile, Tory MPs showing their true colours at PMQ

Corbyn turns up wearing a green tie as a tribute to the Grenfell Towers victims (green is the adopted colour of Grenfell campaigners and today there has been a minute's silence in Parliament in memory of Grenfell.)

A whole bunch of Tory MPs make jokes and laugh about Corbyn's fashion sense.

They are simply beneath f**king contempt. Arrogant, disconnected, entitled, uncaring Kitsons.
