    We'll see how much Scots really want IndyRef2, which could be another factor in May's decision. The SNP have near enough all the seats now, so really they can only lose, I guess most likely to the LibDems.

    After Brexit I told myself I was never voting again, democracy clearly being for chumps and nutcases. I might vote LibDem depending on how convincing Tim Farron turns out to be; certainly nobody else. This is a Tory safe seat, but it was also one of the closest in the referendum with Leave winning with only 50.1%, so you never know maybe there's a chance of an upset. Of course unlike the referendum it's FPTP rules; so the LibDems could get 48% everywhere and still get no seats.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

      Has the LibDem U-turn on tuition fees been forgiven then?

        as history shows. it's all very trendy and hip to say 'i vote lib dem' and then vote for someone else at ballot box

        i will put my converse on and go surfboarding down newquay and vote for Tim Faillon ! (not really)

        the best lib dem in a generation appeared to be Vince Cable and he turned out to be a complete nut job.

        Timothy appears to be a complete nut job on question time so god only know how nuts he would be as a PM.

                    If a full right Tory majority gets in they'll be ruthless. Well perhaps not Ruthless, gosh she annoys me.

                    NHS privatised in a minute. Tax cuts for the rich.

                    The country is coming together. Rinse and repeat. The country is coming together. No really it is.
