It won't happen. Johnson majority.

There won’t be much tactical voting in Scotland. The tories don’t even have a leader and the SNP will hoover up most of their seats. The Lib Dem’s will probably hold onto their seats, although Swinson will have a fight on her hands and Murray will probably hold his seat.
United we stand here....

Do we think the Brexit party will be up to much or has Boris done enough to nullify that threat?

Of course they want to increase their seats, which party doesn't, but they will do what they can to stop it from happening. That might not be a lot on their own, but if it's a hung parliament, they'll have a say.
Johnson majority is most likely, but then May was supposed to clean up 2 years ago. I tend to think that the Tories will have learnt their lesson from that, but the Brexit party may be a fly in the Tory ointment so another hung parliament is definitely possible.

We're heading for the worst kind of brexit, a tory brexit. There's no way Labour and Lib Dem voters will be prepared to exchange votes. Will be interesting to see how Scotland reacts after a massive tory majority and how the British media will try and lump that blame on the SNP.

So I expect them to come out of hibernation and take votes off the Tories but I suppose it's just about possible they might hold fire in the knowledge there might not be a Brexit if they do too well?

If he tries to fudge it, Farage will try to capitalise
There's many a slip twixt cup and lip, particularly in a long GE campaign with Johnson scrutinised as never before.

Oddly, for remain to stand a chance we need to hope that Farage has an absolute barnstormer of a campaign that gets all the no dealers frothing at the mouth with excitement. It would take the feet from under Boris and even in that circumstance I couldn't see BXP taking more than 10-15 seats, but they may cost the Tories 90-100 seats IF remainers vote tactically.
There may be political capital in not opposing the Brexit Party Ltd. too heavily in this election.

Without a pact they probably won't win any seats but they could stop the Tories making any inroads to the Midlands/North of England.
Edit to say the political capital in opposing them is there though - the more Remainers kick against Farage, the more hardline Leavers he will pick off.Last edited by JeMeSouviens; 29-10-2019 at 11:54 AM.

Shaping up to be a 4 way bloodbath between BXP / Tories / Labour / Lib Dems down south.
Could come down to which side can tactically vote better..

I wish we could just have a second referendum.
We all know what leaving looks like now and if leave won, absolutely no remainers could have any complaints whatsoever.
This single issue general election is full of silly games, closed door deals and tactical voting. Is this REALLY in any way democratic?
This way just prolongs the nonsense.

SNP to try and amend the election bill to get "settled status" EU nationals a vote.
Apart from the fact that this is a tactical Remain boost, I can't see how it can legitimately be opposed anway? No taxation without representation as someone once said.

Get Tony Blair speaking out about Farage at every opportunity. That would do more to damage Boris than anything else.

It would also set a precedent that they can vote in future elections and this would hammer the Tory vote post Brexit.

A few things will happen here.
1) The BP will form a pact with the tories over the flogging off of the NHS, tax avoidance schemes for millionaires and ultimately shafting the vulnerable, the foreigners and the working class.
2) Talks of a pact between the Lib Dems and Labour will break down. The Lib Dems will make sure of that. But will use tory media spin to make it appear that Labour are to blame.
3) The SNP will near enough get a clean sweep in Scotland, but will be blamed for many years to come by the British tory media for "allowing" a tory brexit. This will be used in an attempt to crush the idea of Scottish Independence for another 4 decades or so.

1) v unlikely, Tories have enough loonies of their own without getting the real nutters on board and Cummings and Farage loathe one another.
2) They won't even start. Total non-runner.
3) You're in bizarro-world again.

1) Why would loonies care about taking on more loonies? Especially when they're all in it for the same goals? The tories want to flog off the NHS, Nigel Farage wants to flog off the NHS. The tories want to step up their tax dodging capabilities, Nigel Farage wants to step up his tax dodging capabilities. The tories want to screw over foreigners and vulnerable people, as does Nigel Farage. There's plenty of common ground for Farage to sink his teeth into. The last thing he'll want to do is split the Brexit vote. That's why they're keeping so quiet. They won't even campaign in this election.
2) Great news for Brexiteers
3) We'll see. But how many will notice rather than simply being suckered in by it?

2. There has been no cross party talks of an electoral pact between the LibDems and Labour to break down and there won’t be.
3. Read what you have written there, it doesn’t make any sense.Every gimmick hungry yob,
