    It's undemocratic to have the SNP and/or LD there ... doesn't everyone understand we're a 2 party state and we don't want to rock the boat. I mean, look how well parliament has been working

      Standing in 8% of the seats though. She gets to prattle on about her caring ethical values to 92% of the UK that haven't have their schools completely screwed by her party's battuliptery. It is an unfair advantage.

      They defo have the most media training though. Her head bobbing, phrasing and whimsical little chuckles are identical to Salmond's style ( Not that you see him much these days ).

      And the 30-40 year old group that you probably don't get to see much of in England all do exactly the same. It's a bizarre Stepford Wives type of thing. Freaks me out.

          Tories Take 20 Point Lead With Working Class Voters - Guido Fawkes

          The "we know what is best for the working class" schtick has finally run its course.

              The "we know what is best for the working class" schtick has finally run its course.
              Since the start of the campaign, amongst working class voters:
              Cons - up 10
              Lab - up 4
              Lib Dem - down 3
              Brexit party - down 11
              So Labour is up in this category and
              Tories are well up, picking up Brexit Party votes.

                The combined Tory + BP vote has dropped since the beginning of November. They were at 50% and bit over, now slowly dropping into the mid 40's.

                Getting squeezed as Nigel Farage = Boris Johnson.

                  There were a couple of 50% polls then and there have been a couple in the last few days.

                  This is the end of the road for the stop Brexit bedwetters. Boris is going to get a 60+ majority with 42-45% of the vote. Out go the Grieves and the Letwins and in come MPs who will back him.

                    Boris as PM for the next few years is not something I particularly relish. But looking on the bright side there is the silver lining of getting rid of Corbyn and consigning the DUP back into obscurity.
                    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

                      Well there is nothing more entertaining than watching the UK struggle with endless negotiations on some future trade deal leading to the UK becoming a vassal state, so I say bring it on.

                      It would also be good for my portfolio.
