O/T - general election 2019

I don't really care anymore. It's a farce.

Think i'm going to draw around my middle finger and spoil the ballot paper.

All we have is political paralysis and it ain't ending anytime soon.

Not fit for purpose. Any of the parties.

I think there will be a fair few number of abstentions. I'm not sure which party a low turn out will suit. If the weather is bad on Thursday that will nail it for many.

It's an interesting one, Wendun. I can't see the DUP propping up a minority Tory government whilst the Johnson deal is on the table and I don't think the Lib Dems will support a government led by Corbyn.

I think a hung Parliament will mean another GE in the New Year and the need for someone to ask an increasingly frustrated EU for a Brexit extension if we are to avoid a no deal exit by default.

You think the Lib Dems will turn down the chance of a 2nd vote simply because it's Corbyn?

[KerrAvon]

Yes. They have made their position clear and have learned from the coalition years what happens when they do a 180 on their positions.

No-one's had a good campaign.

Farage at least has been good in interviews but undermined his position by not standing himself.

If the Libdems don’t increase their share of the vote then they are irrelevant. I don’t care what anyone says Jo Swinson has run a below average campaign.
I expected more from the Libdems. It’s looking like tactical voting may gain them a few votes.

I think the fact that farage isn’t standing himself and no brexit party candidate has been seen or heard from is putting the feeling that they don’t exist.

I tried looking for the brexit candidate for my area on twitter he’s not there labour and Tory candidate are posting but not brexit party, you’d think they would all be taking to social media campaigning

The poor poll performance of the Lib Dems is interesting. Anecdotally they have suffered because many remainers are uncomfortable with the 'revoke article 50' policy.

I do wonder what that says about the likely outcome of a further referendum if remainers are taking the view that the outcome of the 2016 vote must be respected.

Swinson is also carrying too much coalition baggage.

The poor performance can also be attributed to the Lib Dems choice of leader.

Worst than Corbyn. A disaster.

Farage has scored a massive own goal. Shown himself up big time. Should have stood for parliament but alas, only in it for the celebrity status and the money.
