    Conservatives got 42% last time out when they combined the most unlikable personality in parliament with the worst election campaign in living memory.

    I'm just looking forward to the SNP screaming about not being invited to the TV debates.

      And anyone that thinks the Lib Dems will do well hasn't listened to Jo Swinson talk for more than 5 seconds.

      Gone are the days of Nick Clegg style wooing. Her brand of finger waving "i'm going to tell you how it is" will go down like the Hindenburg.

        In some ways its a good thing. Who wants a seat for NF/BNP/whatever they are called these days?
        ERG?

          She doesn't need to try hard, just mimic that guy that lives outside Parliament shouting "STOP BREXIT!"

          Job done.

          All the election waffle by all the parties is not worth listening to. If the public don't know by now that the election manifestos are complete bulltulip then more fool them. No wonder they want to let the naive kids have a vote at an age they can't be trusted to do anything other than further education.

          Roll out the yellow.




          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            SNP will get 50 MPs and talk tulip about mandates for the next 5 years.

              100% guaranteed. No turning back. It's set in law. Can't be stopped.

              Oh, hold on a sec

                Election: Jo Swinson calls to be included in 'three-way' TV debates | The National

                Jo doesn't get what you are meant to do is call for the other parties to be included, project that you are always going to be included.

                  Betfair give odds of 1/159. I do know some Brexiters who have encouraged others to put money on it - but best do it before the first opinion polls come out.

                    What are the odds of a moderator forming a coherent sentence before polling day?
