And Jo Swinspn went in to bat with the Lib Dems with only one issue: 'vote lib dem and we'll stop Brexit for good and then call another GE', would you vote for them?

I think that I would, if I believed that they would stick to their word and have a full GE with other things to offer later.

I'm live in an SNP constituency and they have a massive majority. I've never voted for them before but probably will this time, I'm very torn.

I was a No voter in the referendum and very much a remainer when it came to Brexit.

I don't trust any of our current government and think the whole thing is a shambles.

We have to get this Brexit thing settled

My fear, Tottie is that the economic ramifications of the political position we are in now will be keenly and negatively felt for a decade, whichever way the government moves.

Johnson has locked himself in to needing a GE and relying on a particular rhetoric to win it. The opposition see this.

Meanwhile my local Lib Dems have selected yet again a candidate that is locally very tainted and cannot win. I despair of local parties some times.

So its probably the local Labour candidate for me. At least he's (a) untainted, and (b) been consistent from the get-go about wanting a People's Vote.

But I'd rather be able to vote for a cracking Lib Dem candidate. Unfortunately my local party turned them all down in favour of their tainted mate.

I think that’s a given now.

I think there will have to be another referendum within the same kind of time span, because we can’t avoid Brexit now without simply ignoring the 2016 referendum and causing a horrible backlash. So we’ll leave and then go through the whole rigmarole again I think, and it will be very destructive.

Worse, we might just possibly still stay in by a complicated white knuckle ride of increasingly desperate wrecking measures and then have to deal with the aforementioned backlash.

We’re choosing between shades of black now. Except we’re not. We’re watching a lot of puerile squabbling and cynical manouevering. From both sides.

I'd vote LD here because their candidate is the one most likely to oust the sitting Tory MP in this constituency.
If I lived 20 metres away I'd vote Labour. The sitting Labour MP there is conscientious and hardworking. There's a real danger there that a vote for the LDs would split the vote and let the Tory in.

I've always been a floating voter. I would spoil my ballot at the moment.

I'd vote for either libdem or labour. I just cant vote conservative. A: mu current MP is absolutely useless. He either is as clueless as he appears or playing a marvellous game of evading any responsibility for anything. B: I just dont think you can believe a word they say about pretty much anything.

I'd vote Lib Dem and actually have been doing since Corbyn hove into view.
It doesn't make any difference as my Labour MP will only lose her seat when she goes out feet-first, but at least I can keep writing to her and tell her in good conscience who I'm voting for and why.

I do think the outcome of a GE at any point in the near future will be a hung parliament. Who goes into coalition (or supply and demand) with whom is anyone's guess though.
