I took your post to mean looking like a tory win in Burnley based on the responses. The tories may well be in front if only Burnley voters were counted but it can't be guaranteed.

The website " Electoral Calculus " forecasts that Labour will hold on to Burnley by less than 400 votes, whereas the YouGov MRP poll released on Tuesday evening, has a Labour majority of around 2,800, assuming the same turnout as 2017 ...

My candidate and the one in the next door constituency where I work 8.
And I want a hung parliament please. None of these parties should have overall control. They all need to be shackled by requiring their suicidal policies to be approved by at least one other lot - and preferably not the dup.

Re: The UTC GE poll
Amazing any working class person can vote tory.
Voting for the party that wants you to work into your 70s while you get angry that people earning more than £80k per annum are asked to pay an extra £20 a month?
You are totally brainwashed by the Sun, Star, Mail and Express.
God help the north of England if Johnson gets in with a majority.

Re: The UTC GE poll
Haven't you heard, it is not their fault. It is the fault of those pesky critters who actually emancipated the working class in 1918, giving them the vote. The Tories bless them are only looking after the interests of their multi millionaire and billionaire backers.
It should be left up to the Queen and the Establishment to run the country and tell us serfs what to do.
Oh and I will be voting Labour. Just got a 25,000 majority to overturn here in Hampshire. No probs.!!!!

On a more serious note, I hope this sees the end of Corbyn, momentum and brings Labour back towards the center ground to make a more adequate opposition.

Re: The UTC GE poll
Vote already cast - Labour.
A confidence rating of 7, losing 1 mark for not being more decisive on Brexit, one mark because I think the manifesto is over ambitious for a 5 year term and 1 mark because I have my doubts over Corbyn as a leader (but no more so that the other party leaders).

Re: The UTC GE poll
Conservative-6 they're the best of a bad bunch,and the SNP need to get the message Scotland doesn''t want another indy ref,i don't want Boris to get a large majority though,he'd be a nightmare then,a working majority of 20-30 will suffice and keep him in check.
Corbyn won't be Labour leader for much longer,already there is moves to oust him,the critical is who replaces him,if they've got any sense it'll be Keir Starmer,but i'm not convinced the Labour membership has any commonsense.
This is the worst political leadership in my lifetime from all parties with the expectation of the Greens(but they'll never get near power) and aren't standing in my seat anyway.

Re: The UTC GE poll
I am really torn as to who to vote for.
I have never seen such an odious line-up as the current Conservative front bench. Boris losing would probably see Gove takeover......what a miserable thought! I am a Remainer. Elected, Boris will simply walk out of Europe with no deal. 70% of our trade is with Europe. The economy will be hit and hard....I suspect a million jobs will be lost while it takes years to reach a trade deal.
I fear John McDonnell has real control of Labour and it's spend, spend, spend policy. They have promised so many things but with one aim in mind...to get elected.
Being a Remainer, I should vote for the Lib Debs however I dislike it's shouty, uninspiring leader. Voting for the party that will finish 3rd does seem like a wasted vote. I might as well vote Green Party.
