May calls General Election on 8 June

[Anubis]

The polls at the moment are fairly consistent. What you have to remember about the 12 point lead polls is that they a) don't take account of the new registrations and, crucially b ) are weighted based on the voting in the last general election. If you take out the weighting, virtually all polls are showing a 3-4 point lead for the Tories, with the gap narrowing all the time.

 

It's not enough for an outright Labour win, but it may be enough to make June the end of May.

 

Sorry.

Slightly off topic but....For those of you who think Dan Hodges is a cunt of the highest order, great article by Matthew Black

Hope you're right regarding those figures which probably explains the BBC's hysterical behaviour over Corbyn today.....

...and in the same bulletin allowing Theresa May to spout her 'strong and stable' bullshit without question.

The Greens have stopped campaigning here in the hope it will push labour ahead of the tories.

Surely if there's a coalition to be had the lib dems will just jump in with the Tories again. Say they're sacrificing themselves to make the tough decisions thats needed and then get bummed by the Tories once again. I still think the torys will get a healthy majority.

I doubt there will be enough of them.

Is that 'fake news'? Can't see any other reference for it.

Latest guardian polling:

 

"...it still implies a Tory majority of 96 on Electoral Calculus prediction model and the loss of 34 seats for Labour."

 

Don't do it to yourself kids, it's a Tory country. We live in a world where president trump exists.

Honestly dont know

If it is its a bit of a cunts trick

[Chairman Meow]

 

That can't be real surely?

[Creator Supreme]

Apparently it's satirical, I stand by the Hepatitis C wish though.

Shot that though people making quotes up even if he is a tory

[Stickman]

Doesn't Lord Ashcroft run YouGov? So it's not like he hasn't got a vested interest.

 

This is just a Tory tactic to make sure as many possible voters are wheeled out (literally) to get the party as big a majority as possible.

Somewhat deranged to believe the Lib Dems would ally with a pro-Brexit party in any way, shape or form.

Unfortunately it's obviously​ not real.

No.

Yes no way they'd compromise they're principles and renege on a pledge for 'some' power.

Yes, I'd hate for anything bad to happen to him.
