Which part of you thinking it making no fucking difference do you not get "pal"? Maybe the break up of the two main blocs will bring a degree of change but I doubt it. Trough swillers the lot of them - only there for the comfy surroundings, fat salaries and fine lunches. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

I think you meant Remain votes and, if so, of course mate. 100%. No one has any other reason to vote for them - they have no prior policy positions other than their Brexit stance and have never received a single vote from anyone ever. This is what the screechers would like you to believe. On another note, I can announce that I have had absolute confirmation that BWFC will be purchased from KA within a month by a consortium headed up by Elvis Presley and Lord Lucan.

Members bolty58 Posted May 28, 2019 Members Share Posted May 28, 2019 Fuck me gently. I knew he was a terrorist sympathising Marxist but that proves he is a champion fucking hypocrite. He is now edging towards supporting a second referendum with 'Remain' on the ballot in the name of political expediency. What an utter cunt. There are actually folk around who think this bozo could win a GE. Labour won't with him at the helm, that is for sure and certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lets not pretend this is him alone. Boris was as pro-EU as they came till he saw a political chance to unseat Cameron. Gove was pro-EU then a hardcore leaver - now a soft leaver. Will be pro-EU in a month if he thinks it will benefit him. May was a remainer - then a leaver - then who knows? Politics is riddled with self-opportunists. Corbyn is not even very good at that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted May 28, 2019 Members Share Posted May 28, 2019 I suspect that Sweep is right. I would love to see the Brexit Party romp a GE even though they have no other policies up to press. I would expect that they would develop conservative policies over the intervening period and sweep up a large proportion of the conservative and Leave votes. I would expect however some sort of distorted hung parliament with, horror of horrors, Red Jezza and the SNP calling the shots. What a fucking unmitigated disaster that would be - one that I suspect that the UK could never recover from such would be the carnage.

MalcolmW Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 16 hours ago, bwfcfan5 said: People keep quoting this meaningless statistic. 65% of Labour voters at last election were remainers. That has gone up now and according to polls between 70 and 80 % of people who will vote Labour are remainers. Yes Labour might lose some northern seats. But many of those have large enough majorities to withstand the loss of some votes. But if the majority of your vote wants one thing and you don’t give it them that is bad news. I've been looking at a couple of examples. St Helens, which is 2 constituencies, was over 65% Labour in 2017. Conservatives were just under 25%, UKIP almost 4%, LibDems a little over 3% and Greens a little under 3%. But in the European election the Brexit Party had the largest share of the vote. Exeter, a Labour beacon in the south west, with almost 62% in 2017. Cons had almost 33%, LibDems almost 3%, Greens almost 2%, and 2 independents totalled less than 300 votes. In the Euro vote the totals were: UKIP 954, TBP 10,042, Con 2,109, LibDem 7,236, ChUK 1,090, Green 9,742, Lab 4,395. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
