On a separate note from electoral coverage someone keeps changing his mind between Tory and one of other parties in the Redcafe poll above. I keep seeing Tory vote count go up and down. Currently back up. Who is it? Identify yourself!

I'm more interested in the lone Plaid Cymru voter.
 
Did the isidewith quiz...

Labour: 71%
Plaid Cymru: 69%
Greens: 68%
Liberal Democrats: 66%
Conservatives: 39%
BNP: 36%
UKIP: 34%
BNP is strong with this one.
 
I just did that test. I side with Labour, LibDem, Tory, Ukip and Green on immigration:wenger::lol:

EDIT: And Plaid Cymru, SNP, British Nationalists, Sinn Fein, Libertarians and Democratic Unionists. Who knew there was such consensus.

My non-white immigrant wife got 56% Ukip (Lab/Lib top two), but identifies as a Tory...pre-May.

Wow. £200 a month is a lot. Ridiculous really. What services do you get for paying that much? Garbage collection?

It's a collection of things really. Waste management, street lighting and maintenance, street cleaning, planning application department, maintenance of libraries and anything else the council wants to waste money on :D

It is bad enough as it is, but if it triples under labour then :(
 
That's obviously not what's going to happen though. You're extrapolating wildly from what's in the manifesto.

I would certainly hope so, as it doesn't sound very well thought out currently.

Green bin collection has been reduced to fortnightly hereabouts, and the less said about their notions of planning the better.

They should erect a larger version of this statue in Brussels, perfect symbology for local government and their use of money:

:lol: Perfect!
 
Leading story on ITV News is Corbyn not being able to cite numbers this morning ffs :rolleyes:

Not only that they've edited her speech this morning which i think happened prior to be about Corbyn being unprepared.
 


I still don't really believe this (it's the hope that kills you), but lol.
 
This would be...something.



Genuinely not sure what government you could get out of that. Tory with LD and DUP confidence and supply possibly most realistic, and it would be seriously tight.

Given Brexit I can't see how any Tory/LD arrangement can work
 
I'm more interested in a Labour/SNP coalition. I think Corbyn and Sturgeon would make for an interesting double act.

Is that the SNP losing six seats and them all going to Labour? A Lib Dem gain of 2. as well by the looks of it.

Be interesting to know where YouGov expects the Tories to lose 20 constituencies...

If you had those numbers, Labour+SNP+LD+Plaid+Green would get you 321. Depending on the NI numbers, with the SDLP you might be able to crack 324 for a majority when taking the speaker and Sinn Fein into consideration. But it would be by like one or two.

Sinn Fein taking their seats to deny the Tories of a majority, and thus siding with a Labour politician who's been accused of associating with the IRA, would be the most popcorn-inducing political incident in a long, long time.:lol:

Forget nuclear or fracking, we'd be able to power the nation for the next decade just on boiled Tory piss :lol:

Oh god :lol:

Genuinely think we'd get another election within a few months if that was the seat count, reckon the Tories would axe May and install someone less weird.
 
Despite the disgraceful media coverage, I'd laugh my backside off if the Tories don't get a majority. Talk about an own goal, Liverpool style.
