Didn’t realise Blair was up for election on Thursday.

Whoooooooooooosh

I can’t help you understand it.

Oh well.

Have another.

I would love a proper Conservative government but this lot are useless.

I can't and will never vote Labour.

So it means I will sit at home on Thursday. At least I save an hour of my life.

Your nearest polling station is an hour round trip?

He could be the Tories only target demographic these days in fairness.

I.e he might have a walking frame.

lol at people thinking the whole country has a polling station within a few yards of their homes.

I'm pretty sure no one said that.

I live in the country. It's an hour round trip.

Time that can be better spent.

What’s he so worried about?



Oh, maybe this…

Would be sweet if they were edged into 3rd by the LD's.

It would be absolutely perfect.

Labour should give 5 people money to defect across if it’s close

That’s 7 too many for Reform though. Need to keep them out.

I have so many hypothetical questions bouncing around my little brain...

Where will Jeremy Corbyn sit in Parliament?
Will the Tories be the official opposition?
Will they even come third, and at least get a couple of questions in PMQs?
What happens if war is declared against us after 6pm on a Friday?
Will I get 25% cash free on my pension at Christmas, or will Rachel have blocked it by then?
What will the upper limit be on my ISAs?
Will premium bond winnings remain tax free?
Will the VED on my Range Rover be more than £2 per day?
Will this thread be closed by the Mods on Friday morning?

The only question I have is whether my election watching strategy will be to nod off until 3am and then start drinking or drink until 3am and then nod off.

In 2024, the best approach might be to wake up at 7am and simply skim through the previous 8 hours of streaming content whilst consuming a healthy, balanced breakfast.

but then if I did that I would miss out on all the drama......

The Conservative campaigning this week has got decidedly desperate.

I think it’s been pretty desperate for a while tbh. Shapps effectively conceded the election over a week ago.

I've had 2 labour leaflets through my door.

This could get very interesting. If it is this close, what happens if either Lab MPs or Tory MPs defect to LD, who will get 6 questions at PMQs and who will get 2?

Are the LDs in ideological opposition to Lab? Not by much.

Sir Ed Davey steps it up - and out - for his final stunt of the campaign.

If the Lib Dems could get to 2nd party, what a time it would be.

Ive voted Tory several times and Lib dem a few too, mainly in recent times as anti SNP votes in the Moray seat, however after the shambles the Tories have been in the last 6 odd years, they need this drubbing to happen.

Nobody is even listening any more. It’s clearly even worse than 1997 for them.

Apart from ‘97, I’ve pretty much always voted for them, but I hope they die in a fire. If I wanted a bunch of woke, incompetent, globalist traitors, I would have voted Labour or Lib Dem in the first place.

It would be difficult for the Lib Dems to really oppose Labour since many of their seats would be only be won through voters in those seats preferring Labour to the Lib Dems but voting tactically against the Conservatives.
Aside from the question of how anyone would form an effective opposition with just 60 MPs, in the Lib Dem case when at least 75% of whom don't even know where the toilets are.
