In a purely numbers view of course the Tories are leading the polls and they may be the largest party. So if having the greatest number of seats is your definition of winning then you will be right mate. But if you define winning as having a majority then that's different altogether 

I still believe the tories will get a majority mate. Time will tell.

Yes, clear Tory majority and a Clean Brexit for Christmas 🇬🇧

They may have a lead in the polls but unless they get to 15/16% lead at the ballot box they will not get a majority. Several factors in there that were not present in 2017...

TBP and how they will perform up against the Tories as there will be no electoral pact if the election is after No Deal has been taken off the table and is before the end of the extension

SNP will wipe out the Tories in Scotland

The Lib Dems will pick up about 30+ seats in total with the gains coming primarily from the SW and London. Every seat they and the SNP win knocks the Tories back one. Which means the Tories will have to win seats that they have never won before

The scrutiny of the WAB will show that this is a relatively hard Brexit and it's up to the opposition to make their case well that this is not good for Britain

The Tories won 44% of the vote at the last election and because it was primarily a two party race last time there will be 4 parties fighting it out. They are currently polling at 35% I believe so that's 9% adrift of where they were

A Tory majority is not a given and I still hang my hat on another hung parliament

Good job you’ve got a decent mane fella, because your predictions are shockingly shite

It's my opinion of course, so how do you see it playing out realistically? 

Hmm

I think Boris will win a majority; probably without the Brexit Party.

Sorry mate, I clearly missed your answer, so will ask again.

 

Who are you voting for ?

You have already made your mind up mate and then I pointed out that Johnson has been doing exactly what you accused Swinson of😂

So mate, you’re not admitting to being a voter of Swinson ?

For that, I don’t blame you.

As the locals say up there ‘she’s deed’

Mounts has voted Labour all his life and now wouldn't be seen dead voting for them. Folk change their views otherwise we have the same governing party at every election

I know you’re a bomb chucker by heritage, but you’re not a Green Voter

Hence Swinson is the only option left for you pal, unless you’re a closet TBP fan ?

Anyway buddy, let me know please when you and the much better looking half fancy a mulled wine on me at the markets in the weeks ahead.

The shithouses in parliament have driven us towards a worse deal than we could of got, sadly Johnson has had to compromise because of the shithouses, now the shithouses say it’s a terrible deal and perhaps we should remain, shithouses were successful in helping the EU in us not getting a better deal in order to push remain agenda, shithouses can all fuck off, despite their treachery, we’re leaving, end of. 

Jesus H Christ

It was May being weak when it was her deal; you kept saying that a change of leader would solve it 

Now it’s “u-turn Boris”, it’s everyone else’s fault 🤣

Fucking brilliant. Not sure who’s more hypocritical, Mounts or Bozzer

If I had a tenner for every time on this thread I’d be wadded

If there’s no election, can the EU extend, as there’s no reason to do?

No deal this time next week?

Johnson changes his mind with the wind and the EU know him well

How about the EU changing their mind?

You know when they said, time and time again, that the original 'deal' with the Backstop wouldn't be changed?

We know the EU well - they've been full of bullshit for decades.

You do realise that the backstop has gone only because we are back to the original plan Barnier wanted? Boris has done a full 180 and everyone thinks he's the dogs danglies? Weird times.
