    Will this be the first really tactical election ...

    ...whereby people don't automatically vote for their first choice party?
    Talking to parents at the school gates whom previously I would have thought Tory to a man (and woman), was shocked at how many were openly proselytising in favour of the Lib Dems.
    Anecdotal and London-centric I know, but still surprised me.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Send the butler down to do it on my behalf. In his own time of course.

        Isn't that the basis for all your extrapolations?

        Anyway, no. HTH.

          On the plus side Karen Danczuk might be running in our area. I might be inclined to attend some meetings and get involved in policits a little more

            So in the very heartland of Remainerdom, a large number of people were contemplating voting for the only major party that would try to reverse Brexit.
            And this surprised you did it?

            Bwahahahahahahahahahaah

                  Was just talking to someone in Scotland. He and several of his mates have agreed to vote for whoever they think has the best chance of beating the SNP in their constituency. For them, it's not a Brexit election, it's an Indyref2 election, and they think Nicola needs to take a beating (in political terms only, of course ).

                    BBC covered this, was that your inspiration?

                    It's certainly got more public attention with the whole https://www.tactical2017.com thing.
