General Election it is then...

Corbyn has left Labour dead in a ditch ?

Possibly, but we're talking about Uxbridge and the massive swing to Labour that happened in 2017.

HTH, BIDI.

but hey, the voting public are idiots ...

Spoken like a true democrat !

Democracy eventually leads to national decline when cretins like yourself start making decisions. Nothing to be done about that but make money from the chaos.

We're talking students here, who in the most, would rather use instagram to share photos of their quinoa lunch salad than bother their pimply arses to go and vote

You may be right, you may not be. We'll all find out for sure in a few weeks. But until then, those Tories in marginal seats with high student numbers will be sweating like MF in a cake shop

My prediction for this election is every prediction on CUK of what will happen will be incorrect

Well you've certainly got YOUR prediction off to a flyer.

We're talking students here, who in the most, vote left. Boris has over 10,000 of them in his constituency (Brunel Uni). Most of these students would not have had a say in 2016 ..... who knows how they will respond in a few weeks time

You're assuming they had the wherewithal to put themselves on the electoral roll, and even some of those who did may well have buggered off home for the Crimbo holidays. And just so you know (it's a part of the world I know well) a large proportion of those students actually reside in the neighbouring constituency - whose MP happens to be the shadow chancellor, Mr John McDonnell...

Jeez, it's like being back in the early 80s. Militant Tendency and all that shyte.

More like the early 70's I wager, Prawn cocktails & corned beef will soon be back on the menu.

Democracy for the most part works. What I detest though is first past the post voting in a populated country. Then as soon as a new government gets in boundaries are changed, a campaign of lies unfolds, mud flinging etc. How can you call it a democracy after you've been through all that.
