Westminstenders: Register to Vote

[RedToothBrush]

The closing date for registration is this Tuesday

The weekend has seen the leaders question time debates.

Johnson failed to answer a question and the BBC edited later edited footage to change laughter at him to applause.

Swinson continues to prove that the Lib Dem campaign planners don't understand the electorate. They based the campaign around her and the more the public see her and the more she opens her gob she proves she's the witless headgirl who really knows fuck all.

Corbyn has now adopted a neutral 2nd referendum position. Far too late.

Jo Johnson apparently said that a good election manifesto is one people aren’t talking about 48 hrs later, and it seems that the Conservatives really have gone for that strategy.

Johnson had promised a manifesto for change yet of the three main parties it seems far from that. It avoids controversy for the most part, but also doesn't offer solutions to some of our biggest problems like social care. But with the Tories so ahead in the polls, the status quo and making sure they don't have a repeat of the 'dementia tax' car crash seems to be the order of the day. Because Brexit is going to going to provide a magic solution instead...

Meanwhile the Labour Party have gone completely the other way and really have gone for it and come up with ideas. With a mixed response from the public and press.

And I still can't tell you what is in the LD one, cos Prince Andrew...

This week should see the election come into focus as postal voting starts. As it stands its hard to bet on anything but a Tory majority.

Remember (channels A Fish Called Wanda) - you're not allowed to call them stupid.

They keep saying it has no effect on them...then it makes them more likely to vote Tory. But nope, not stupid. Not stupid at all. I wonder how much of blaming others for their voting Tory is because deep down they KNOW it's a really shitty thing to do.

They’ve been at it all day @FadingStar. Deathgrip’s doing a sterling job but they’ve got their fingers in their ears.

She's doing a brilliant job. You were very good too, Also. But they just don't want to know.

Thank you. I take great care no

Thank you. I take great care not to insult or antagonise them.

The dog early posted for me!

Haha don't tell me the dog is 'anyone but Corbyn'.

Just watched the Alliance PPB on BBCNI...said they're determined to end Brexit and it was funded by 'lies and dark money'. I really like and respect Naomi Long.

@Mistigri
That doctor’s account was horrible to read :(

How the hell are the Tories still doing so well around the country-Boris is getting booed and professionals are refusing to meet him, ffs.

cat
You are very kind xxxx

stinkyeddie you sound as if you are trying your hardest in the face of enormous hurdles etc

I don't agree with calling her 'wee nippy'.

But I have grown up referring to people as a niplie sweetie

*nippie sweetie

Every single time - bloody autocorrect

I’m not so sure they are doing well. The mainstream media, especially the BBC, are doing a great editing job, without Twitter I’d have no idea how badly he’s received everywhere he goes. The polls are as meaningless as they were in 2017.

Around here we’re usually awash with blue publicity materials, not this time. Our Tory MP is a remainer and, with no Brexit Party candidate, there’s a good chance a lot of traditional Tory voters will stay at home or spoil their papers.

Well, going by a thread on AIBU;

• the last 9 years are not the Tories fault.
• moving further to the right is traditional conservatism
• communism/reds under the bed
• the likes of the letterbox comments is actually inspired, stateman like stuff.

Where is this Tory fanboi thread? I feel like a dose of righteous anger this evening...

The crown s3 ep 8 makes interesting viewing

Anyone else watching channel 4 news at the moment,? Good interview in Russian political influence in UK/US and non release of Russian dossier by this Government. Isn't this normal procedure "poppycock" "it is highly abnormal"

Wesh not sure how to do links...it is in AIBU. Thread is To Invite All Conservative Voters Here.

The only comfort I can take at the minute is right to the very end, the polls on average showed an 8 point leave for Conservatives in 2017.

If you strip out the outliers, most were predicting a 6-10 point lead.

And didn't the polls for the referendum always have Remain in the lead?🤔

And whilst the polls weren't great for the tories/ labour at the may elections - they certainly didn't predict their complete annihilation. Labour were expecting to gain a few seats at the EU ... didn't happen. And the tories were all but wiped out - but they lost more seats to the Lib dems than they did to the BXP.

"On" Russian not "in Russian" which is fortunate as I can't speak Russian though I dare say Dom can. Interview also mentioned Johnson's highly dubious visits to Lebedev's Italian villa www.opendemocracy.net/en/opendemocracyuk/revealed-boris-russian-oligarch-and-page-3-model/

Then why insult her with a nasty snippy little nickname?
Nippy sweetie isn't a nasty nickname in Scotland, It means a woman who takes no snash. I'm a nippy sweetie myself. I'm a woman farmer in a world of men.

pmk.

I've just watched NS giving it laldy to Andrew Neil.

I wonder how much of blaming others for their voting Tory is because deep down they KNOW it's a really shitty thing to do.

This! This! This! This!

Also, sorry to be a total misery, but when if the poll gap narrows I always think "shit! That'll get the Tories mobilised fo get the vote out!"

"I wonder how much of blaming others for their voting Tory is because deep down they KNOW it's a really shitty thing to do"
Yep.
