Off Topic Opinion Poll

Stop reading the Daily Mail then - despite being the 5th largest economy in the world; apparently paying for extra police and nurses would bankrupt the country and force businesses to leave. You couldn't make it up!

 

There is an argument for those of us who didn't actually want to leave the EU, and think it's lunacy to leave the Single Market, that having a 'weak' government without a variety of highly publicised dogmatic red lines would have a better chance of achieving this, if only by caving in on everything, as the EU doesn't want us to leave the Single Market either. Vote for whichever party is best placed to beat the Tories if this matters to you.

With a heavy heart I'll be voting Labour, in the vague hope of a Labour/SNP pact.

 

I think the security issues and Corbyn's genuinely alternate manifesto has changed the landscape. Beside's May is seriously not going to leave the single market and destroy the City of London on her watch is she? Both her and her husband know this - which is why they were Remain, although given how incompetent she has run her campaign - I have an awful feeling she doesnt have a clue.

 

I backed No Tory Majority at 13/2 and covered it with Tory 1-24 seat majority at 18/1 a few weeks ago.

Come on the hung paliament!

 

On the Andrew Neil late night show last week, they were discussing how badly the Tory campaign had gone. Neil said that within the 'Westminster bubble' May was widely regarded as a second-rate politician, and that maybe the public were beginning to realise that the 'bubble' had it right for once.

 

Anyone still know how to access that poll I put up at the start of the election process.(it seemed to get lost when the threads were merged) ..when I asked you all to predict the outcome. It would be interesting to see it again!

 

It's at the top of each page on my iPad.
Cons 20. Lab 17 at moment

 

Not that one...the one I put up 50 days ago ask what you thought would be the outcome of the election It was something like Tory, Majority, Lab majority, Hung parliament, coalition government
and it was something 48, 1, 4, 4

 

Wish the last seven weeks had been like this

 

Oddly enough and like the Brexit vote, our poll appears to be following the predictions of the pollsters. Are we a typical example?

 

I think I will get a modicum of satisfaction by writing "They're all a bunch of c*nts" on the ballot paper, at least I'll know the reason why...

 

Looks like we are.
History is more fun read than lived in. Sometimes.

 

Epic fail by Theresa May. She managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Time to go.

 

bloody mods
merging all those threads
think they run the place

 

I'd make that Leanne Wood thor with a hulking bit of Uber's ragnarok, that's for sure!

 

I don't like the look of the result. Can we have another election because I want a Tory majority? Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? No difference between that and the remoaners want another Brexit vote. Not the result I wanted, but the DEMOCRATIC process has been completed and you will hear no complaint from me.

 

So I take you'll not be pleased when they rerun it in a few months time?

 

Absolutely not. I didn't like the fact that we lost to Fulham last season either. Has any right minded person insisted on a replay? The remoaners should stop whinging and face the fact that the DEMOCRATIC process was done and seen to be done. I do not accept that arguments that we didn't have the facts available to us - we did, trouble is the whingers didn't bother to educate themselves but were happy being (mis)guided by the press. Well, guess what? TOUGH ****!!!

 

So you want democracy suspended until you get your way on Brexit? Even if we have a lame duck minority government?

 

Not at all. It is the remoaners that want democracy suspended. I already have my way on Brexit, and yesterday's election. Not quite sure what point you are trying to make.
