Predict the election result

Especially when they are both pro-Brexit.

[Acting Claret]

Would love to see the cons take some seats in Scotland, that would really make me laugh.

Like everybody else then!

I'm going to read the Tory manifesto as its at least a guideline of how they are going to go about it.

The thing I don't get in an General Election is when someone says I used to vote Labour but now I vote Tory or visa versa.

To me these two parties and their core beliefs are so far apart that I could never waiver from one to another. Maybe it is just me

Do you understand why some people vote for the same party regardless of who's in charge or what they've done as a party?

There are people on here who've admitted they'll never change who they vote for.

Labour are going to be well & truly thrashed. People say the Corbyn is the problem - he's certainly a problem but the biggest issue is the team around him. He's badly advised and surrounded by incompetents. Just wait for the Labour spokespeople to be popping up on tv & radio shows over the next few weeks and consider whether you'd like to have some of them running the country. Anyone who heard Dawn Butler's interview with Eddie Mair last night will know exactly what I mean.

I despise much of what the Tories stand for and what they are doing to the country but the thought of the likes of Butler, Abbott, Corbyn and McDonnell leading our country makes me shudder. It's a really, really crap choice this time.

Reading the "will your vote change in Burnley" thread, there are a surprising number of always-Labour voters who aren't voting Labour this time. If Labour can't get their core voters out, they won't be getting new ones either, apart perhaps from the true socialists who didn't vote Labour last time because Labour was to oright wing. And I don't think there were enough of them to swing the vote.

The Tories' only danger is the Liberals.Having swung from their best post-war result in 2010 to almost their worst in 2015, they might well be able to use their anti-Brexit stance to get some seats back in the London area. And if they can extend that to the south-west (which I reckon they won't because the south-west is more anti-EU than pro-Liberal, but who knows?) and if Labour can hold on to a surprisingly high number of their supporters, it could be closer than expected. But I reckon 350 seats for the Tories, majority 100 or so. (Including, to go out on a limb, 4 or more seats in Scotland. But not to go too far out on the limb, none of them will be in Glasgow.)

And I don't think there were enough of them to swing the vote.

There are three, and I know one of them, and he's not voting.

[quoonbeatz]

i know a few people who have always voted tory who aren't this time because of brexit so it works both ways, although i doubt to anywhere near the same extent.

plus they're in safe seats so it won't matter anyway.

Anyone who views other people as important would have to vote Labour, Tories are the party of self, self -made, self assured shellfish.

I think that if I didn't like the way the party I supported was going then I just wouldn't vote. I certainly wouldn't go for a completely opposite core value.

Which ever way people vote or don't vote government always wins!

Corbyn will be the Mayor of London in 2 years time, it's how he'll relinquish power without losing face, keep his faithful happy and mean he'll never have to leave London again.

[FulledgeClaret]

I'm going for a overwhelming win for The Monster Raving Loony Party. they can't be any worse than the rest can they.

[LeadBelly]

"Anyone who views other people as important would have to vote Labour, Tories are the party of self, self -made, self assured shellfish."

Prawn sandwich brigade, a load of scamp(i)s they are. They need to be oystered by their own petards.

[boatshed bill]

I hope the monster raving loony Party still have a go.

Actually there are two reasons to vote Tory. One is because you're a self-made lobster, and the other is because you think that ablueclaret is once again talking out of the wrong part of his body.
