I wonder if the shy tory voters and presumably shy reform voters will have much impact on the GE?
This has definitely been a factor in the past and I am guessing more so this time.
I think it could be a good idea to keep an up to date database of who people vote for.This has definitely been a factor in the past and I am guessing more so this time.
This could be done by getting people to put a political poster in their window. This could be done with the help of the political parties themselves they could all issue posters that people could apply for.
There could be people who for whatever reason lie and get a poster from a different party to try and hide their real support. Penalties would have to be stiff and firm for such behavour though.

As an observation I have seen very few posters or signs for this election, usually there are always a few here and there.
In Surrey I have seen no blue or red ones at all, a few orange ones but that is it.

Very few Reform posters.
Did see a Trump flag while out for a ride.
Interesting post from Peston on where that might be headed.

I'd assume the wearing of a full collar with black tie, but nobody questions that. It's the wearing of wing collars that causes mentalist levels of controversy!At my place the controversy is if wings go behind the tie (the American way) or above (the proper way). This is a real minefield seeing as black tie is an American invention, but they can dictate on sartorial matters when and only when those outside of the sciences acknowledge the correct way to say "herbivore", "aluminium" and "solder".

Our Labour candidate lives about 60 miles from the constituency, he doesn't have the time to travel here apparently.
Our Tory candidate knows that 1) He won't be welcome by anyone who has looked into his history and 2) he'll still win because he's got a blue rosette. So he's at home tossing himself silly over fox hunting videos.
Our Green candidate is too busy learning the words to "Gosudarstvenny gimn SSSR", partly because the Green party is now all about the Marxism, partly because she thinks Reform might win and well... Farages views on NATO.
Apparently we have a LibDem candidate. Not heard of the LibDems, must be an offshoot of Monster Raving Loonies.

It's complete tumbleweed round here. We've had one Labour leaflet, and one from the Greens. In Surrey I have seen no blue or red ones at all, a few orange ones but that is it.
This is a seat which - whilst the Tories won with 56% of the vote last time - has gone with the winning side in every election since 1970 bar one (a very narrow Tory win in 2005). In recent years UKIP/Brexit/Reform have generally done reasonably well here too. Yet you'd hardly know there was an election on.

Why do people who are presumably trying to make a serious point use names like "Minigland"?
Surely you must realise that the use of infant school insults does little to increase the validity of your argument?
This is a car forum FFS. If you want concise and clear comment, go read Private Eye or The Spectator or similar.Surely you must realise that the use of infant school insults does little to increase the validity of your argument?
If I say BLiar or Camoron, or whatever, I think most of us would work out who was being referred to. We all know he meant The Ed Miller Band.
My issue is specifically with the juvenile insults that might possibly have been funny once for about 3 seconds. It's like people who still dismiss the Mk1 MX5 as a hairdresser's car. I just read that and assume they're not going to be able to give any sort of coherent argument as to why they dislike it and stop reading.
