Can you explain your logic here? They got 1 seat and 13% last time. I'd imagine both of these figures will decrease.. where do you think their gain will be?

Nearly all of the top comments on their facebook page suggest that UKIP supporters arent voting UKIP

Which is annoying for me as a Tory but all your Reds should jump on this band wagon.

Agree with this, no one anti-Tory should be particularly bothered by this news. We had several years left of the current term, anyway, and a Tory win at the next GE is pretty much a dead cert whether it's 2017 or 2020. This way we have Tories until at least 2022... but the way things stood before, it was 2025.

2022 is a much more realistic timeframe for a viable alternative to be put together, IMO.


...also, is it just me, or are these dates starting to sound awfully futuristic? How can we be talking about 2025 . That's like some sci-fi **** right there.

Alot of that vote will go Lib Dem though who actually want a second referendum.

Everything about Corbyn's Labour party repels me. I have a lot of sympathy for the Lib Dems and I look forward to their resurgence as a parliamentary force but I can't back their stance on Brexit (even though I voted Remain) which is what their campaign will be centred around. I'm about 90% sure I'll be voting Conservative then but I have no real enthusiasm for this election.

[Kizzy]

The forum is favouring Labour.. This pleases me

[y.winter]

I can't vote, so I'm just going sit here and watch everything getting messy

[LukeB]

[Lostie!]

Labour. Would vote Green if they had a fraction of a chance though.

Every poll on Twitter says Labour would win too, but then again it's not 'popular' to vote Tory despite the fact that people still will and they will win

I take it you don't live in Brighton Reece?

Conservative for me, my local MP is a really good constituency MP and he's done brilliant work on the Public Accounts Committee, particularly when hauling bankers over the coals.
