Personally I expect a Boris majority of 80+

Cast your votes on your expectations not your hopes.

Hung parliament for me. I think you are underestimating how unpopular ‘Boris’ is.

Au contraire.

In Hartlepool perhaps but not out in the rest of the country. Besides, when you have Labour MPs saying that he Corbyn is unfit to govern then perhaps you underestimate the level of contemp for Labour.

And remember; in the even of a Labour victory, Dianne Abbott would be in charge of national security. That should terrify anyone with a modicum of sense.

Nothing has changed in that regard since the last election when the red tops and Tories used the same tactics and slurs towards Corbyn. Loads of young people turned out and voted for him and the Tories had to climb into an expensive bed with the DUP to secure a majority. They have been a disaster since. ‘Boris’ isn’t even certain of his own seat. I think a lot more people than you think can see exactly what he is. Bizarrely he’s probably got more support in somewhere like Hartlepool right now than any other Tory ever has thanks to how gullible and easily lead some of these Brexit means Brexit Gammons are.

I think it’s very hard to call.

Ok I give you Dianne Abbott but she is almost intelligent compared to Jacob Rees mogg.

You really vote for a party with him at its core?

Labour are likely to lose their few remaining seats in Scotland and Frank Fields will win in Birkenhead standing as an independent.

Hardly overwhelming support in either place except for the rabid militants in Liverpool.

Oh, and don’t count too much in the support of the young, after all they largely were swayed by Corbyn’s promise to write off student debt then to quickly renage on the deal.

Who pulls Priti Patels strings?
£500k from the Kremlin this year alone and the Blonde Russian pin up didn’t have to have a pint this time!

If that were actually true Corbyn could get details from his mates in the FSB (former KGB) and publish it.

Isn't it 2 years virtually to the day that Priti Patel was summoned back to the UK by the PM and resigned before being sacked? Summat to do wi secret unofficial meetings wi Israeli ministers? According to some reports she was lucky to have not being tried for treason but hey ho she's quickly back in government!

The Blonde Russian pin up could actually release the report in Russian interference but won’t. I’d rather trust the committee that did it and the ex-head of MI5 on this one. What’s he hiding? That he’s crap at tennis?

I got blocked by the Tory candidate on Facebook for asking about Russian money in the Tory Party. According to him it’s a matter of “National Security”! Aye, the Kremlin’s security! Now, what’s that about the Tories being the party of national security?

The Tories like the Russians too, or did I imagine the Profumo affair ?

To think I worried myself senseless about being bombed to fuck by the Russians, little did I know Thirty years later Boris and Donald would be sucking their collective cocks for cash, at least back in the day it was ideology, not cash that would end up probably killing us all

St Margaret and Ronald must be spinning in their graves

Mr I. Don’t set up a Poll then argue with everyone that disagrees with you. That’s just silly

Oops, I realised that hung parliament and no overall majority was the same thing so I deleted the latter. In doing so I accidentally reset the poll. Here’s where we were.

I hope the tories fulfil Farage's wish and step aside in all seats where the gammon party have a candidate. It would then be impossible for the tories to get a majority.

By making a pact with a party that didn’t ask to him to make a pact, at the drop of a hat dropping over half of the new candidates he’s just enlisted for his half baked make it up as he goes along throw six to start party. I bet they all feel good about themselves :laugh:

As the commentators say, it will eat into the Labour vote as it’s towns like this who’ll be targeted.
I’m so glad I don’t have a horse in the race.
A new Labour candidate is needed, happy Mike Hill is hardly going to encourage a storming of the Winter Palace.

They need several new candidates and a new leader.

After the shambles of the last few years any opposition party should be streets ahead in the polls.

I can't predict a result but I can predict a Boris win being the end of the United Kingdom. Those 300 years were nice while they lasted.

They SNP will never be happy till they get ‘independence’ no matter who is in power. All Scots don’t want to leave but as long as they keep showing repeats of Braveheart and playing Flower of Scotland they’ll get enough to get them there. What happens after that could be a massive disappointment. The only people breaking things up are the SNP.

Why should the Scots be happy about whats going on just now? Last time I looked Scotland was country and not some regional enclave like the NE. Most Scots still dont want indepedance but most Scots dont want Brexit either. So if a priveladged few in London force it on them then they have every right to try and break away from it. If those people claim that the referendum has to be respected then the result in Scotland should also be respected.

It was a UK wide referendum, you know it was so all the votes went into the same pot or every little enclave could put a claim in. There are 66 million people in the UK , 4.5 million in Scotland, there’s more n Yorkshire, do they get another vote...?

And there you go. Scotland is a country not a region of england. Not sure why I needed to type that. And if you are really going to be pedantic why is northern ireland not leaving in exactly the same way as Yorkshire? It was a Britain wide referendum as you say.
