For me, increasingly it's less about Corbyn and Labour and (as some of us expected) just how intellectually poor May and her party comes across. Die hard conservatives and Brexiteers won't care but for those in the middle, it seems a lot of them have been put off by her since she called it.

That exchange with the nurse in particular was fecking shameful - how in God's name May got to be leader is beyond me, she genuinely needs a public speaking course or something. She doesn't even have the intelligence nor the wit to talk around the issue (to get herself out of it).

Antonio Valencia disagrees. More people like Antonio Valencia than the leave campaign. Done.

That is fecking ridiculous if true in all seriousness (Valencia can't speak English). Fecking rude beyond anything else.

Nah, I'm sure he can speak/understand it to a decent level. I just think he's a shy guy.

Apparently he didn't have a great education growing up in Ecuador. I wouldn't judge him to harshly if I was you.

Also has Labour + SNP on 308. Tories alone on 308.

And in which case, the Lib Dems 10 seats wouldn't give either group a majority :lol:

Assuming their modelling is in anyway accurate, this country is right on a knife edge

Well look I'm not privy to his background, I just know he's been in England working for 10+ years. If he's got exceptional circumstances that's fine. I'm merely pointing out that in general, people in that scenario should have learnt the language by now and be speaking it. As another poster already said, it's likely not true anyway.

Can tell the election bods on twitter are dreading that result more than anything else :lol:

So assuming they got 4 seats again, and taking out the speaker, thats 5 seats gone.

323 needed for a majority.

Tories 307 + Lib Dems 10 = 317 ...... only 6 away
Labour 261 + SNP 47 + Lib Dems 10 + Plaid Cymru 2 + Green 1 = 321 ..... still 2 away

Who on earth knows how this is going to go
 
It's surely got to be Tory minority and another election in three months or so, if that happens?

EDIT - Or we just accept this democracy thing isn't working and return to absolute monarchy.

Why are they allowed to keep their verified twitter account?

The referendums done and dusted and the other EU referendum campaign groups like "Vote Leave" have archived their websites and social media accounts.

I think the main reason this election was called was to give the Tories an extra 2 years to negotiate Brexit. "Not having a big enough majority" was a ridiculous excuse. It hadn't stopped them pass anything so far

SDLP as well, but they might lose seats. Though Sinn Fein could gain some, which would reduce the total needed again. Imagine the instability of that government, though.
 
Corbyn has gone down to 3/1 to be PM after the election. Four weeks ago, you could get 20/1 on one website. The possibility of a hung parliament and possible Labour minority government is no longer as ridiculous at it seemed.
 
What would make you happiest on election night? This ranks right up there for me...

 
Opinium have a 6 point lead

Comres still have a 12 point lead but their groundwork includes this



which makes me quite suspicious of that lead. I think they might be overcorrecting for 2015.
 
Pretty much everything political disliked by the country at the moment



...except the Greens @DiseaseOfTheAge

How is it rude?
There are tons of Brits who have been living on the coasts of Spain for decades that can't speak a word of Spanish.
