For the Tories that's the worst possible scenario, as it'll mean votes syphoned away from their candidate "for no reason". If I was Brexit-minded, I'd be advising the Brexit Party not to field a candidate at all unless they are confident that candidate CAN win the seat.

I just saw a Sun article stating that a Tory victory is a dead cert because of flat %age opinion polls on the parties :facepalm:. I'm sure they KNOW that's not how the UK electoral system works, it's flat out ridiculous that they're blatantly trying to miseducate their readers into thinking that it is.

Corbyn is now Live
He Wants a General Election


As no deal is now removed

Tom4784 29-10-2019 01:50 PM

If the Brexit party play up that Boris is an incompetent leader that can't take them out of the EU like they did with May then they could be a real threat to Tories. Nigel Farage is a twat but he knows how to rile up likeminded individuals to vote the way he wants them too and I doubt his ego would allow him to not field candidates wherever he can.

user104658 29-10-2019 01:51 PM

Honestly it's such a farce.

"OK you have 3 additional months to sort out Brexit..."
"Great!"
"Are you going to use that time to actually put some sort of plan together that is workable?"
"Nah we're going to have a GE and then probs a holiday and we'll be back on January 25th."

To be fair, UKIP never put any sort of dent in the voting even at the height of all of this, pre or post referendum, and despite the party line... I think even Sun readers realise that Brexit party is just UKIP 2.0. Farage being the face of it will likely confuse a lot of them into thinking that it's literally the same party with a new name :think:.

If they can replicate even part of the success that Farage had when he fronted UKIP, the tories should be worried. They're also dealing with the fallout of May's reign to boot.

Of course, if that happens we run the risk of a Brexit/Tory coalition which is the worst case scenario.

Oliver_W 29-10-2019 02:00 PM

tbh I don't think No Deal should be taken off the table - not because I want to leave with No Deal, but so we have an extra hand to play when it comes to negotiating with the EU.

Isn't it though? My impression was that Farage didn't like the way extremiists were attached to UKIP, so formed this second party? For all the good it did :joker:

At least they can't do anything bad in that time :laugh:

No deal should never be on the table when you have the likes of Boris acting on behalf of his masters trying to do everything he can to force it through despite the ramfications it'll have for most of the country. They cannot be trusted, Boris pretty much sank his own deal in order to force no deal and he'd do that and more if the option was on the table.

How Stupid of those Labour Rebels
to put a amendment for all
England Young 16 year old to vote.

Its been reported that the Dpt. Speaker
in charge will not allow that
As it takes 6months to set up


The SNP said yesterday
it may not have time to fit in 16years old votes in England


It can not be done in 6 weeks
is the Valid point.

Twosugars 29-10-2019 03:13 PM

I hope this election bill fails :fc:

The Slim Reaper 29-10-2019 04:20 PM



Anyone drawing false equivalence between the 2 main parties, need to listen to what Corbyn has been saying he wants to change about our society, versus what the tories have actually done to get us here.

So then make it 10 weeks, or 12 weeks, or 15 weeks. This is an unnecessary timetable forced on us by Johnson for his own goals and agenda. We were given another extension to sort out brexit, and instead the tories are using this one as they did the last, for themselves.

Twosugars 29-10-2019 04:32 PM

EU citizens are already on the electoral register so let them vote :dance:

arista 29-10-2019 07:04 PM

arista 29-10-2019 07:27 PM

Lib Dems are the worse party to vote for as they have confirmed they dont believe in Democracy

Ammi 30-10-2019 04:34 AM

I don't get the argument about it not being worth voting if you live in a safe seat. If enough people in your constituency share your opinion about who to vote for you will get that MP.

If anything it's not worth voting because you only have one vote out of about 70,000, and even then your vote carries far more weight in the constituency system than if it was a nation-wide system with millions of votes that decided the election, like a referendum.

if you look at the election night swingometer thingy. By my living in a top 5 tory seat, the tories would need to be down to a handful of mp's in the commons for my seat to go to another party. At which point the tories would be finished anyway :laugh:
