You do realise that he's in an ultra-safe Tory seat, right? Even in 1997 they had a 27% majority!

No I did not! :angry:

Iain Dale Is Forced To Correct Lib Dem MEP ENTIRELY Over Johnson's Brexit Deal

On a side issue, I fail to understand why Labour under Corbyn aren't very popular in Scotland - after all, *he* can hardly be accused of being a Red Tory! :lol:

If/when Ireland is reunited, surely there will no longer be a role for SF anyway?

I thought we might welcome some relief from the election, so... Should the monarchy be abolished, and if so, who should be the head of state instead?

Re New voter registrations... It's not the number of new registrations that surprise me, rather the fact that there were so many people not registered in the first place! :o

Excuse me?! I never said any such things about flood victims! :( I assume you meant '*heavily populated* areas, unless you think farm livestock are voting for the Tories... :heehee: I think 5% would be enough for one.

Finally - something we agree on! :P

What Michael has is not *confidence* - at best, more like wishful thinking...

Scottish opinion poll... https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/120...nicola-sturgeon That I did *not* expect - I thought the Tories were the most disliked party in Scotland. :o

There is a distinction between 'couldn't' and 'wouldn't', though.

Maybe - but that's partly why he pushed for a GE, to try & get a working majority to push it through, not to mention a mandate on the basis of 'this is what the people endorsed'.

Received many campaign leaflets? Just 2 so far here, Greens & LD's - nothing from Lab or Tories.

Leaving aside the fact the only the voters of Uxbridge and South Ruislip will be voting for him directly. Why does everyone seem to forget that they are only voting to choose their *own* MP? :huh:

Surely once Brexit is out of the way, they'll have more time for everything else - a working majority would help too.

Much easier *without*, I'd say...

To be pedantic, how can they privatize what has already been destroyed? :rolleyes: Not leaving at the end of October was due to parliament, not Boris specifically.

Thank you for this - a handy reference. :) Costings documents too - although it's debatable as to whether anyone will trust them... :heehee:

:huh: That's a new one on me - when did it become a crime to not let under-18's vote? :wacko: I was 32 - so what? I was not excusing partisanship, only pointing it out.

Not all of the new registrations will be young though - people move house al the time.

1. Yes they *can*, and many do through charities - but surely you can see that it would be wrong to *force* them to, through state-sponsored 'theft'? 2. That why I *haven't* made that claim, and why I posed it as a question, rather than a statement.

OK, fair enough.

I was 2 months too young to vote in 1983 - I got over it. ;)
