Is the pencil attached to a string because of scousers? End of the day I couldn't bring myself to vote for this baboon. I'm in a safe Tory seat anyway so it was more of a protest vote than anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, Boris is pondering on abolishing the licence fee. I know you are a supporter of that cause?

All these political debates you have, all the extensive knowledge (which must take a fuckload of fuckin' like...y'know, studying, listening, reading etc), all the pretty solid opinions and feelings about the candidates and you're not gonna vote? I mean correct me if I'm wrong but your position has been, from what I can gather, in this particular race, the Tories will be the one that will benefit the nation more if they get in, so why would you not vote?

The only thing I find appealing about a Tory majority is that it would now push through Brexit, a softish Brexit deal negotiated with the EU I might add. The stalemate, the political deadlock, would thus be broken. But don't forget it was only a few months ago when the Tories were led by Theresa May and stuffed full of remainers, Letwin, Grieve, Ken Clark. The Tories have been as infected with remainism as Labour. You also have to remember that my vote is an utter waste of time because of FPTP. I live in the very definition of a tribe voting ''northern Labour heartland''. When people say ''northern Labour heartland'', or ''northern working class heartland'', they might very well be discussing my constituency. It is as fixed as the seasons, Labour winning here.

Why the fuck am I encouraging you to vote here? I’m not really, it just surprises me that you’d be so into a thing and hold pretty definite opinions about it but then not give a fuck too.

I edited another bit. When I look down the list of parties I can feel no discernible motivation for voting for any of them. Who do you want me to vote for here, Len? Labour and Conservatives are both elitist parties stuffed full of stockbroking liberal London luvvies and EU federalists. Their brand of politics has no reflection on me or my area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem worth getting out of bed in the morning for, plus you'll always have that vote on your conscience. Every terrorist movement going, Jezza has supported at some stage. Literally his political career is a list of various nefarious - usually anti-British - movements he has supported at some stage. A very dangerous individual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it'll be more like 50% - a significant swing away but still a reasonably comfortable Labour hold. We'll see how right I am soon enough... As if she's called Susan DUNGWORTH!

As I said earlier, they'll drop a few to The Brexit Party because this is a heavy leave area and they had this weird affiliation with big ugly Ronnie, but if you stuck a red rosette on a donkey, the people here would vote for it. Here is a detailed electoral history of Blyth Valley since 1950 to the present day, Labour haha. (And before that it was part of Morpeth which was - you guessed it - Labour stretching back to 1918). It has basically been Labour since 1918!! Edited December 12, 2019 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you so sure they are voting Labour this time? Corbyn made it clear he would negotiate a new deal with the EU. And he also made clear there will be people's vote.

It always starts in Sunderland for some reason. There is a big concern about postal votes right now, students registering in two different addresses and naturally voting for Corbs; some of them have been quite unapologetic about this on twitter! The registration is surprisingly lax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Given where the seats in play are, the bellweather seats might be misleading. So there's a decent chance the exit poll will be more off than normal. Lots of claims on social media about record turnout in London seats and some marginals. Might be good if not for the fact, Labour need to hold the line in the North and Midlands to prevent a Conservative win. Supposedly betting odds on a hung parly are dropping. The EU ref told me to be gloomy, so I expect the worse. However I'm hopeful that IDS is at least gone. Tried to talk to some of my relatives in a certain famous bellweather seat and I got the impression they weren't voting. Which ironically may be a good thing.
