Erm, the Tory party are split, just like Labour. So surely, the bets way to estimate is just to take those two out totally?!

Its definitely 'weird maths' to include the Tory party in with leave, whilst totally discounting labour

Yeah, I would think a choice between no deal and revoke article 50 would be about 60/40 for revoking. And thats being generous to no deal. No deal brexit is an extremist position I think (obviously not saying all who want this are extremists, but in terms of the vote itself...its an outlier) and to make out its the majority choice is..just wrong.

As I have said repeatedly, I know there are many more people than those I know, but the huge majority of leave voters I know, voted leave assuming there would be some sort of deal. A few are for no deal..but not many of them. Mind, a lot of those who want a deal seem to be of the opinion that we could get a deal that was basically..no immigrants but keep free trade..which is obviously fantasy! Keep the good bits and get rid of the bad. Erm, not likely.

Its no shock to me that Scotland vote mainly SNP. Labour have been dying there for a while

I do find the voting breakdowns quite interesting though.

And the fact Labour have none there, and the Tories managed one is quite funny really. I thought a Scot voting Tory was basically a unicorn!

And think Labour will be hammered in the GE, but not quite as badly as the Tories. I think its all going to be split even more, and a few parties will have to join to form a majority, not just one party being basically bought to help the larger stay in power That day I still dread, as I have still not found a party I can vote for, and I feel like..I have to vote as people basically died for my right to. So maybe a spoiled ballot or something

For some maybe, for me..I thought it would probably happen. SNP promised votes on leaving the union, which seem as divisive in Scotland as Brexit is here. So they were going to get a lot of support. Even moreso now, when Scotland is basically being punished for England being dicks! Another referendum there now, I think would win by a landlslide tbh. And I think thats why many vote SNP. For that chance of another vote. As much as I can't stand Sturgeon, she really does seem to want the best for her country, and manages to offset a lot of the Tories crueler policies. Kind of wish when (not if IMO) Scotland go off on their own, they would take the ****ing North East too Though tbh, the north east is a bit of a dead fish. Why would anyone want us, we vote against the EU despite recieving a hell of a lot of funding from them, so vote for our area to be even bloody worse than it is now..
