General Election 2019

I spent 10 minutes talking to the Tory candidate in a shopping centre once, whilst people who might have voted for him walked past. I then put his leaflet into a bin whilst still in his eye line. It was a safe seat and he won anyway, so it was totally pointless, but it was quite satisfying.

 

That interview is an absolute TREAT.

Are they literally just letting any old racist Nan stumble into the leader position?!

 

LOL

 

No- she’s where I work (Fareham). I actually live in the one “Labour red dot in a sea of blue” that is Portsmouth South.

 

Doesn’t help she looks like Catherine Tate

 

Although why UKIP are STILL getting airtime I don’t understand...

 

Catherine Tate is trending. Poor Cath.

 

It gets worse...

 

And we're not going to get a chance to nominate him for cunt of the year.

 

I don't think anyone would object to adding him.

 

I don't know exactly what format @cwej has planned, but yes, he has to have a possible way in.

 

This is a terrifying, but arguably accurate representation of what a huge amount of British voters (of a certain age) are thinking going into this election -

 

I am pretty much 50/50 Green/ Labour right now. My postal vote needs to go off fairly soon. I hate this election.

 

I think Green is a good vote in a safe seat, in order to help increase their profile nationally. If you're in any way marginal it would be a waste of a vote.

 

I’m voting Alliance. It’s always a straight fight between Alliance and DUP where I am.

 

More of this sort of thing please:

 

I know this is the usual DREADFUL SHIT but WHO WOULDN'T!

 

I've just changed my vote.

 

I’d love to read Jezza and Diane’s erotic memoirs.

 

I imagine vegetables to be involved.

 

Bet she can suck a prize marrow through a water can. AM I RITE LADS OI OI

 

She looks like shes eaten some really strong weed brownies in that photo and theyve just kicked in

 

Off his allotment?

 

Obviously. He’d pound you with a homegrown aubergine, then whip you up a lovely baba ganoush with it after for a post-coital snack.

 

Still planted. Like a suction vibrator.

 

Omg I am so in.

 

This is astonishing

'I cannot say... I can't divulge'.

 

In a much smaller number of seats obviously. Voting tactically in MOST areas means voting Labour. The total number of voters for the Liberal Democrats at the last election 2.4 million getting them 12 seats, compared to Labour on 12.9 million and 262 seats. Five times the votes, but more than twenty times the seats. You know that 'tactical' voting benefits Labour more than it benefits any other party.

Trust me, with the choice between Johnson and Corbyn, I obviously would prefer Corbyn - but I also believe that people need to stop accepting the status quo of only those top two parties. Every single election people are told to vote 'tactically' and the only way things will change is by people voting differently if they don't believe in those parties - which I certainly don't on the whole.
