How do we know there *are* any? :teresa:

Diane Abbott’s son accused of assaulting police officer outside Foreign Office https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/121...Stoke-Newington OK, it could be argued that this is irrelevant, but as his mother is hoping to be the next Home Secretary, she could be possibly be put in an awkward 'conflict of interest' position. :unsure:

The last time I did that was 1997 - Portillo was a highlight. :P The polls would have to be far more wrong than even in 2017 for that to happen - maybe 5% wrong!

Now that really would be the ultimate collusion with the Russians.

More a fear of being attacked by extremist Labour thugs. :drama: She's incompetent, and only got her job because she slept with Corbyn? :teresa: :kink: She may be sincere in her views, but that does not make them correct, or more important, *practical*.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-int...19-poll-tracker That's about as likely as you & I agreeing on Brexit. :P BTW, that article contained such paranoid nonsense that it could have been written by you... :P

The parties must be hiding their most gaff prone figures - that reminds me, where is Diane Abbott... :teresa:

Average figure was from *their* poll tracker.

Yes, three months ago, in an non-mainstream article... :rolleyes:

Pot, kettle, black! :rofl:

You don't half talk some crap. :rolleyes: The average lead figure I used is the one from your beloved Guardian! :lol: I apply it to votes counted, full stop! It's been repeated over and over again - polling companies do *more* than just political polls, bad predictions harm their business in general!

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

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

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...

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

#50 confirmed Also t40 updated.

Boris should say he's happy to given an interview once the election is over, though. :heehee:

Hustings make good TV, but I think would be unwise to draw conclusions from them, as they are generally attended by the more politically active and thus not very representative of voters in general. After all, in 2016 all we heard was hate, hate, hate for Trump, but no-one bothered asking Middle America... <_<

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:

I think Emily Thornberry will most likely still have that. ;)

It would take more than just tactical voting, as he had well over 50% of the vote last time. :mellow:

That didn't stop their dad... :w00t:

I've never been an advocate of leaving everything to the market - there are certain areas where the gov't needs to take charge, health & education for example.

They escaped from the British hereditary monarchy, only to use a different form... ;)

Just not to the question asked. :P
