I think the tories will lose

I think they will have a majority of around 80.

The trouble is, there aren't any decent negotiators. The EU has been doing all the negotiating and wheeler dealing. My DH was approached to apply for a job but he would have had to have taken a 70% pay cut.

I don't, but god I wish the Tories would lose.

I'd love Labour to win the election, but I'm torn - Brexit will prove a clusterfuck, and I want the Tories to have to take the blame for that. They'll wiggle out of having to accept it's all their fault if Labour win, it'll just become a blame game.
I'm hoping for a hung parliament, I think that's a realistic chance

I think they'll still win easily tbh. (Labour voter here).

Sadly I think the very best that can be hoped for (from a left-wing perspective, obvs!) is that they don't get an absolutely stonking majority.

FB / btl comments are all very well, but older people actually get out and vote, and they are much more likely to support the Tories.

I console myself with the thought that at the very least the Tories are probably having a few sleepless nights over the polling data

They won't lose. When people are in that voting booth they'll panic and think that a change, when Brexit is coming, is a bad thing.

This election is not about Brexit. It's about consolidating power for the Tories. To cover domestic policy.

At the end of the day, those negotiating the finer details of Brexit will be civil servants, not Theresa May despite what she might have you believe.

But the Tory party wouldn't be paying for a bodged Brexit.

They'll be fine. It's the rest of us that will be screwed.

Whatever. The campaign has been mind bogglingly awful. There is so much evidence around about the impact of Tory policies over the last few years. To vote Tory after this debacle you have to know it benefits you personally and not give a shit about anyone else (selfish), or be stupid. Simple.

Bollocks they will. I'm still smarting from their last two wins, fucking Brexit and fuck face Trump.

This is just what happens before they fuck us over yet again. It's designed to keep us buying papers, checking polls and listening/watching the news for the next week. And most of all it's designed to give all the delicate shy tories a little scare so they turn out on polling day.

I hope the Tories win. They made the Brexit bed they should have to lie in it. The electorate have been promised the impossible on Brexit and I want the Tories to take the blame when this clear instead of Labour. I predict another GE in 2019.

Oh please, yes. Nothing would please me more. The personal attacks on Corbyn should disgust anyone with even half decency about them. Even Thatcher said attacking the person showed you lost the argument.

Sadly, as someone who predicted the last election and the referendum, I think the Tories will win. Boundary changes will ensure they will stay in power for a long time.

The best I can hope for is a small majority but I'm not confident of that.

Amber, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. 😂

My head is a mess and I don't know who to vote for. The Tories are squeezing this country dry, but I think Labour will bankrupt the UK instead. I agree with the theory of Labour's welfare proposals, but if I vote for Labour then I will be worse off. But I can't vote Tory. If I vote LibDem then that could keep the Tories in power. And I hate the thought of Brexit which is going to shaft this country anyway.

I fear the usual thing of Tory voters not admitting to voting Tory and pensioners not being large social media users will be the case again next week😥
I hope you're right though!

Well only another 8 days to wait. Knowing my luck labour will be annihilated and that bloody pips form will turn up and then I really won't have much to live for

I feel as though there is just enough hope to mean I'll definitely cry the morning after.

I want May and her fucking, fucking idiot education wrecking cuntbuggery to lose SO much.

If she doesn't there will be proper snot sobbing here.

I thought the Tories were home and dry until the Carer policy was exposed. There are a lot of angry older people out there now. It also makes a joke of those who have scrimped and saved all their lives in order to pass on an inheritance to their children. Now if they become ill or infirm that will mostly be taken away. No longer any incentive to save or work hard. I think this will hurt the Tory vote (and deservedly so). I'm not a Labour supporter and I do not agree with many of their policies but I cannot vote for the Tories and live with myself. They are deliberately hitting the weakest of society. Shame on them.

Please please please labour to win

Yes, I do believe that most people who vote Tory are either selfish or stupid. Which group are the majority I don't know

Name calling always goes down so well.

So of course according to you everyone who votes Labour is highly intelligent and unselfish.

I hate to break it to you but it just isn't true in any way shape or form.

This is the type of thing that leads to 'shy tories' the suprise leave vote and no to independence.

I'm with JimmyGrimble don't jinx it!
But I am quietly maybe not so quiet tbh hopeful. One of my relatives, who is a member of the Conservatives, is feeling very worried now. He texted me at the end of last week to say he thinks May has blown it. When he's admitting that in public, you know it's bad for them.

It's looking more and more every day that MAY is going to lose. And that Corbyn may win.

Agree that it's the hope that kills you.

I joined the Labour Party to vote for Corbyn (I was always a labour voter, just not a party member). I then felt rather disappointed when he seemed to disappear after/during Brexit and wondered who I would vote for when May announced the election (greens/libdem, but never Tories).

But I have been so impressed with him over the last couple of weeks. He has had a fantastic election campaign so far and I think he has absolutely justified his position as leader.

But I don't think we'll win. I want so much to win. I think there are millions of people in this country who desperately, desperately need the Tories to go. I don't think it will be the landslide that May so arrogantly thinks. But this country is fundamentally small-c conservative and too many people read those hideous rags the Daily Heil and the Sun. I don't think we'll win.

If any of you are in doubt go onto the Facebook page of Southend News Network and see the live polling feed they have on there.

Not sure a random likes poll on a Facebook page of a news feed of one area indicates anything tbh.
