Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted December 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted December 13, 2018 Conservative majority of around 25000 in the constituency I live in. The lowest it has been in recent times was 8000 and that's when Douglas Hogg was using public money to clean the moat around his house. I don't vote Tory so it's not going to matter who I vote for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. He just paid for his moat to be cleaned, paid towards his housekeeper, had some work done on his stables, and his piano tuned on taxpayers money. Just everyday things that we all spend our money on. Somewhat unsurprisingly he is in the house of lords now, about still firmly snuffling through the trough of imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westlondonmist Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I voted Lib Dem in the last election, but I think Cable is a bit of a cunt. As much as I am pro remain I want a party to have more than 1 policy. I moved to a new constituency this year, I think Labour will win the seat but not a given. I don't want to vote for either Conservative or Labour. So will vote for whatever random party is on the ballot. Could be worse, my in laws have Pete Bone as their mp and my brother has Boris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the non-union Mexican equivalent and left of anything that's been in power in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the time before, but yeah.  Thanet North is a safe tory seat with a 10k majority and Thanet South (where Farage tried for a 7th time to be an MP and failed) has a 6k tory majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 And they still do.  But if even Farage couldn't get elected at the height of UKIP, and they polled 6% and 4.5% in the last general election, you still expect them to win?

Given that in such a situation Labour forming a minority/coalition government is probably the only thing feasible in parliament, Labour getting more votes will be an important way of combatting the inevitable "Conservatives won the most seats, they should be in power, it's a coalition of the losers" criticisms.

They won’t win, but I’d expect them to do better if May gets her deal or they revoke. They don’t hold it anymore. They had a massive fallout in house and split. Tory held now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
