Who are the dipshits that voted for Brexit Party or Tories on here. FFS.
 
I heard if you tick both Tory and Brexit on the ballot, away goals count double.
 
I just went to make a brew, put the coffee in my cup and opened the fridge. Suddenly a loud voice shouted, OI, put that light out!

I said sorry prime minister, can you pass me the milk please.

Sorry, was just off at the Klan meeting discussing "Why is there no International Men's Day?". Again. Sure as long as you dress as Greta Thunberg. Holding a "Homeless and Hungry. Please Help" sign written in biro on a cardboard box lid. And let me strangle you. For research purposes.

I dress as Greta Thunberg every day. That bitch got her look from me.

I read a post on Facebook (I know) saying that the Tories included in their manifesto (page 48 apparently) plans to make sure that the courts can't block them from doing things like proroguing parliament in the future. Apparently the Nazi's did the same thing in Germany in the 1930's.

Betting markets going back towards strongly predicting a Tory majority. feck it
 
Labour really are going to get smashed in all those leave voting Northern shitholes. Got a nasty feeling it's going to be a big Tory majority.
 
Anything but a Tory majority will be a failure. I might be in here on my own celebrating later. Either that or I will disappear for a few days.
 
On my way home from canvassing in London - thankfully a lot of people already voted, now I can go and vote!

Feels like it’s gonna be a big turnout.
 
Strong youth turnout expected. But it feels like there will be a Brexit retaliation in the northern counties. So anything wouldn't surprise me. :/

My biggest fear is that the Tories gain more seats in Scotland. If you're not s nationalist then you'd be shouted at so the silent Tory is probably more prominent here than anywhere else.

Why do people keep talking about odds as if bookies know anything?

They are taking bets in the millions. If they have odds of ~20:1, they'll be losing a shit ton of money if they are wrong..

They probably have a much better idea than the average person.

No one knows anything definitively... but with money like that at stake, they must have access to more data/polls than you and me.

They won't gain - but they may hold onto more than we expected them to a few months back. For a while wipeout seemed likely, now they may cling onto 9 or 10.

Which was my point in the first place. You’re confusing me now.
 
Strong youth turnout will probably only be in exactly the places it doesnt matter.

Be very interested to see which way Chester goes. Usually a good barometer.

More I think about this the more this is what I’m expecting to be the defining feature of the election.

Youth vote will be huge and concentrated in the Uni towns and cities. Labour will slip in working class northern towns and it’s going to be a first past the post shit show with seats being stolen all over the place.

43% Tory = 345
37% Labour = 225
