I’m not one for predictions but here goes

boris wins the election. 

Gains a majority 

Corbyn stands down 

boris rips up his current WA and takes us down the no deal route. Unsure whether he sees it through or not but will depend on eu and any concessions they may want to give to stop it   As should always have been the case fucking suicidal to take it off the table  

people then realize the self imposed parliamentary paralysis has fucked us up royally and the likes of Corbyn, gappy tooth and Ian blackford go down in history for all the wrong reasons

He’s a shell and a sitting duck currently. Not sure what is wrong with him. Problem is if he doesn’t step aside he’s going nowhere which isn’t good for any of us really as there needs to be a good opposition

Pretty much sums it up for me

What about those that campaign for a people’s vote but ignore the people’s vote?

If Momentum stick around we truly are fucked for years to come.

Correct and just can’t see them going anywhere. I genuinely think something wrong with Corbyn health wise. Maybe taking it’s toll. It evidently is on some on here too!!!

A minority Labour government would be infinitely less damaging than a No Deal Brexit. As we've seen over the last few years, a hung Parliament doesn't allow for extremes in either direction. I'd rather see Corbyn as a shackled PM than Johnson, purely because of the types of people surrounding each of the cunts. Corbyn might be a loon, but at least he's got good people on his side who care for normal folk, rather than multi-millionaires looking after their own interests. Another tactical vote for me unfortunately. I'll decide which way it goes depending on events over the next few weeks.

I just hope he leaves stage left ASAP as I genuinely believe he and the far left has taken the labour party backwards under his tenure. Having said that the far right have taken hold of the Tories too so I genuinely believe there is room in the centre ground for those of us who feel disenfranchised with the current political extremes

Well at least it's a refreshing change from 'thick, owd racist'.

For the record, PH and MK are far and away the most insightful contributors to this thread IMO.

90% of the rest are simply remainers shit scared of standing on their own two feet.

And who to vote for, whoever hurts the Tories

If the libs can get a good campaign and pick up some real momentum, maybe them

If not, I'm probably out

I'd never vote Labour and bozo and the ERG make me sick

As anti English as ever. Go the Boks eh?

Not a landslide for the tories so far...

Might be wiser to wait for the newspaper headlines on December 13th son. Did the Trump and Brexit votes not teach you that?

I'd agree with pretty much all that

You should join his idiot army then.

I honestly think labour will do well.

When there is uncertainty, people resort to type.

Labour has always been the wor

kers party and in many areas will get voted in simply for the red rosette.

It'll be a hung parliament.

 

 

I think a wave of patriotic nationalism will sweep the country after our great Rugby World Cup winning exploits and contribute to Boris getting what he wants.

Do Mounts and Bolty have to come home to vote or do they get to send a letter from their cosy boltholes overseas?

You clearly don't fully understand the electoral workings in overseas territory do you. Show the passport, confirm the home region, cast the vote.

Conservatives Abroad is a fine insitution.

Each to their own and I won’t spout off to anybody but I’m amazed folk think Abbott, McDonnell, Thornbury, Rayner, Long Bailey are a better option to run the country than any of the other parties. I’d rather have Jimmy Krankee and her Scottish loons running the whole show

Totally agree.

However, the vote splitting that’s likely to happen makes this election very unpredictable

Much as I despise the Lib Dems and their total disregard for democracy, it would raise a smile if they were able to relegate the shambolic red rags to third place.

If we are to follow the Lib Dem approach and jettison democracy, a benign dictatorship would be the way forward. Screaming Lord Sutch passed too soon.
