Trump lands at Stansted at 9.45pm and apparently has been told by Boris not to make any comments that can be heard in public about the election. :D Will that stop him though? They're scared he may say something daft and make it worse for Boris or just supporting him may not help.

Edited December 2, 20195 yr by common sense

There was a great post on DS about why. They said he could even murder someone and many would still vote for his loveable buffoonery.

 

That's you all over in a nutshell - blind, brainwashed and beyond hope.

All the letter B look just like the great BREXIT. :D

Did any of you read the rumours last night that the Queen had died? Was all over Twitter and people asking what would happen to the election. Before the FTPA the death of the monarch would mean a 14 day delay but it's not sure what would happen now. Philip dying wouldn't mean any delay.

 

Yeh I seen that, was wondering how many days off people would get.

 

Where'd the rumours come from?

If she dies after Corbyn gets in, none.

 

Some random person on Whatsapp, I believe. A lie can make its way to the top of Trending Topic on Twitter before the truth gets its shoes on.

Some idiot started them. :rolleyes: I was wondering when I woke up if it was true or not!

You're confident. :D

As I've said before, because everything logical is telling me that the Tories are going to get a healthy majority, I can only conclude that we're going to end up with Labour winning the most seats (albeit short of an absolute majority).

I'd accept losing a free holiday if Jezza got in!

It's entirely possible given the number of young voters who registered recently. Depends where they are really and if they actually vote.

I don't think it's true that they are not reflected in the polls though, as Michael claims.

 

TWo new polls today :

 

ICM : +7 Tories (curiously, this been very consistent throughout the campaign)

Kantar : +12 Tories

 

In 2017, the average Tory poll lead 8 days before the election was 6%, whereas the average is still 10-11% this year. :thinking:

Isn't Kantar the one that expects 90% of people over 60 to vote and there to be a low under 35 turnout?

 

ie the one with the dubious methodology.

So Michael claims, but we don't have anything but his word on that. :unsure:

Sooo what you're saying rightcapper is that the polls are just 2% shy from being the same as last tiem, whilst overestimating old support and underestimating the youth vote ... like last time? Plus more Never de Peifeles than Never Mayers annndd it's a repeat of last time.

Incorrect - only one polling company out of 12 maybe using that flawed methodology, so their contribution to the average will be very diluted.

 

Also, a 1% swing to the Tories from the 2017 result would give than an overall majority - an extra 19 seats, giving them 336 and a majority of 22...

We'll see about that.

We'll see about that.

 

In 9 days time (or even as early as 10pm next Thursday).

If they get in again, democracy is dead.

If they get in again, democracy is dead.

 

non sequitur - if they get in again it will be through a democratic vote.

 

You wish.

 

1. BBTory on their side.

2. BBTory ACTIVELY COLLUDING with them to get Labour savaged by Neil and his hard right lies and then shield him from Neil too.

3. One party state MEDIA, especially press, and rhe most smeared politician IN HISTORY

4. The ENTIRE authoritarian state vs Corbyn

5. The count being linked to the Tories

6. Rabb suggesting he'd seen postal votes the other day and then quickly changing mid-sentence.

 

Is this a democracy? No. It's a corrupt authoritarian state.
