I hope I am really wrong, but I got Brexit right and Donald Trump's election right, despite a lot saying Clinton had it bagged.

Sadly, it would seem a lot of people may have been bought, they are following the carrots and are leaning towards Labour.

They will be heavily disappointed and everyone else will be when things will start costing more because of tax increases.

Labour back in power will be a National Tragedy.

The way their activists speak of their manifesto, is like it's a 'New Testament.'

When you start to peel off the label to their manifesto book, it really reads, "How to screw the many, not just the few.'

Re: June 8th General Election

I was thinking a majority of 100 but since, in the GE campaign, Jeremy has done far better than expected and TM has done far worse than expected, I am predicting a Tory lead of 27 seats.

Good grief a hung parliament prediction by the man who rightly predicted the American election result.

Not a lover of Jeremy Corbyn full stop but anybody who thinks Theresa May has had nothing but a very poor election campaign is obviously looking through rose tinted glasses.

Prediction

Tory Majority of 65

Not often we agree, but I think you're right, I sincerely hope we're both wrong however. A hung parliament would be disastrous for this country

Definitely, 100%, wrong I categorically say not gonna happen.

---------- Post added at 16:37 ---------- Previous post was at 16:36 ----------

It does come down to if YouGov are right though. For this to happen there was to be a massive increase in young people voting and the other demographics being correct. I don't see it. If anything I think Labour will pile up votes in places like Manchester and London but the Tories will pick up marginal after marginal anywhere else.

Re: June 8th General Election

I think this is one of the worst campaign's the Tory's have ever presented. i do not think May wants to win this election to be honest.

A few people have said that to me.

I wish we could have had Ruth Davidson.

As I said the other week, their manifesto read like they wanted to lose (a suicide note).

Worth waiting to see the actual results. The 2015 Conservative campaign was considered lacklustre but is now viewed as one of the great campaigns, so focused were they on their message and their strategy behind the scenes. It could be they know something we don't and will win a landslide with their focus on May and Brexit.

I don't think that's what is actually happening though. I think they've just run a rubbish campaign, their strong and stable slogan was undermined by the u-turns, the social care policy seemed to have sparked something and lost them a lot of Labour voters, and now they've flipped from putting May front and centre of the campaign to making it a more conventionally Tory campaign.

But I don't think it will matter. I think she'll win comfortably.

Re: June 8th General Election

Exactly how 'ill' is Abbott do we reckon?
Quote:

Diane Abbott has apparently been duped by the same email prankster who caught out Bank of England Governor Mark Carney and Barclays CEO Jes Staley. The prankster, in character as Seamus Milne, elicited concern from Diane about her role in future press coverage: “What is the situation about election night press?”

Ha ha. Anything the Conservatives can do, Labour can do better. They wrote a suicide note but nailed it by sealing it with a big kiss from Diane Abbott!
