I’ve had a night out in Camden. Can’t remember much of it. I got lost from my mate after I’d been at the comic relief show representing my company and that’s where I ended up. Think I thought it was boring. Not sure, though.
Voting intentions: Guildford CON loss LIB Gain. Esher and Walton CON loss LIB gain. Esher and Walton is Dominic Raabs seat
https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/prediction_main.html National voting intentions, current seat predictions are for the first time showing Conservatives predicted to received under 100 seats. If this prediction is true, the Liberal Democrats would win 40, seats wise putting them quite ****ing close.
I still think it will be Lab majority easily, but the Tories will hang into 140 seats, something like that. Libs high 20s SNP low 20s Greens 1 Reform 0
Yeh I don't expect the Tories to fall to 100 either. I think Lib Dems will go into 40's though, maybe higher. The by election swings have been ridiculous, up to 25%. Even if we temper that down to 15%, you're talking 50+ seats that could switch to LibDems who are 2nd in those constituencies.
Its ridiculous mostly because I think Ed Davey is a bang average leader. Tory's are just that repulsive
I think that's the problem. If LibDems get a decent number of seats they really need an intelligent, strong leader to make it count.
I mean you hear stories about animals being elected mayor in some small American cities. Why can't Britain have a corpse as a PM? He can't possibly do any worse than Boris. And seriously, what national embarrassments could a corpse cause? He's not going to hold any illegal parties, knock anyone up, or **** any pigs. Have AI simulate what his policies would be today. Paddy GPT Ashdown. That's a politician I could get behind if I was still living there. For reference, I got AI to generate this Campaign speech by Paddy (he refers to himself as resurrected, which is technically untrue, so like all politicians, AI Paddy is already lying): My dear fellow Britons, Though I may be pushing up daisies, my spirit for serving this great nation remains undying. As your post-corpse candidate for Prime Minister, I bring a fresh perspective to the political arena, quite literally. While others may be burying their heads in the sand, I assure you, I am fully committed to raising the bar of governance from six feet under. From the depths of the grave, I rise with a vision for a fairer, greener, and more prosperous Britain. I promise to be a Prime Minister with a backbone... well, what's left of it, at least. My policies may lack flesh, but they are rich in substance. Let's dig deep and tackle the root issues facing our society. I advocate for electoral reform that doesn't leave voters feeling like zombies, but rather ensures every voice is heard. We must strive for environmental sustainability, because even in death, I understand the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. In the realm of international affairs, I promise to be a diplomat with some real backbone – pardon the pun. Let's show the world that even from beyond the grave, Britain stands tall. I vow to fight for social justice and equality, because discrimination is simply a grave mistake. Education and innovation will be my guiding stars, because even in death, the quest for knowledge never dies. And when it comes to healthcare, I believe in a system that treats everyone fairly, regardless of their status in the land of the living. So, my fellow citizens, let's not be afraid to shake things up. With your support, we can resurrect Britain as a beacon of progress and prosperity. Thank you for listening, and remember, together, we can bring new life to our beloved nation. Yours faithfully, Paddy "The Resurrected" Ashdown
