Bojo to abandon GE if 16YO and EU nationals given vote

Pretty hypocritical of BJ considering 16 year olds were allowed to vote in his leadership contest.

Interesting interview with a Tory on BBC breakfast news there (Hancock?) just before I left the house.

In the space of a few minutes I counted him saying that a vote for any other party other than the conservatives is a vote to put Jeremy Corbyn in 10 Downing Street at least 4, maybe 5 times.

The conservative election campaign is well underway and it appears that they’re going full on project fear re Corbyn.

The term "coalition of chaos" must be getting dusted down for use now, the idea of 50 Jocks in government will be enough to horrify boat loads of voters down south to vote Tory.

Ian Murray starts for the reds.

That's an own goal before a ball is kicked.

It's typically Tory to do this. Don't talk about policy at all just okay to the lowest common denominator. In England it's Corbyn, in Scotland it's SNP. They just don't have anything worth voting for so use the bogey man to try to draw votes

I posted this link yesterday. It's a tactical voting guide to getting rid of Tories.

Disappointingly, they either don't know their arse from their elbow here or they've bottled it: no recommendations in Scotland. We need to get rid of those 13 Tories and if that means 10 SNP and 3 Lib Dems or whatever, then that's what we should do.

Every tory seat in Scotland has the SNP in 2nd place.

Remember, unionists vote tactically as well. So by placing most of their votes on the tories, they leave the other unionist parties severely short in comparison to the SNP.

Yes, that is what we should do, but they don't want to recommend against the SNP, Labour or Lib Dems so maybe it would be difficult to make recommendations for only 13 seats?

I've asked them the question.

i think Doris Johnson,like his predecessor the Dancing Queen, will very much regret having an Election....i really really do

You beat me to it.

“If he ever needs to visit a football team as an antidote to Arsenal, he’ll always be welcome at Easter Road to see the mighty Hibernian” followed by guffaws of laughter!!

Antidote? Anaesthetic more like.

It seems it's not working well in England either, it recommends voting Lib Dem in Bromsgrove, they lost their deposit last time around

Did he also remember to parrot that The Whole Country Wants To Get Brexit Done?

Looking forward in this election to seeing whether a single Tory comes out with a single statement that isn't a simplistic Cummings slogan, but, even more than that, seeing what Led By Donkeys might do with the clip about Johnson being a filthy toerag.

**CloudSquall** · 30-10-2019 05:32 PM

Financial Times are saying that the Brexit Party is considering dropping out of 100s of seats and concentrating on 20 to 30 leave supporting Labour seats.

Big boost for Boris if true.

Strange to target leave Labour constituencies.

Probably (I don't know for certain) the constituencies that were very pro leave but where the Labour MP's consistently voted down Brexit.

Rightly voted down against Brexit in my opinion.

They won't have the money to fight every seat. This was always going to happen.

Farage is a self serving narcissist who needs to be in the spotlight. No way he is pulling candidates. How we internet “party” needs to get seats and attention.

If true, the Tories really have become the BREXIT Party. The very thing Cameron called the referendum to stop. The transformation will have been complete.

To be fair, most 16 year olds who are members of the Conservative Party will have an opinion-forming age of about 83.

***Ozyhibby*** · 31-10-2019 08:26 AM

Dominic grieve standing as an independent and the Lib Dem’s are standing aside in the constituency to give him a better chance. Hopefully see more of this.

I have a vague memory of IDS addressing a Conservative conference as a schoolboy... and being the same odious little person that he is today.

Don't be vague, choose Hague.

**JeMeSouviens** · 31-10-2019 10:47 AM

IpsosMORI/EveningStandard poll

Conservatives 41% (+8)
Labour 24% (nc)
Lib Dems 20% (-3)
Brexit Party 7% (-3)
Greens 3% (-1)

Fieldwork: 1,006 GB adults by telephone. 25th - 28th October

Hmmm, Brexit party seem to be fading. If they stay quiet or stand aside then things look bleak indeed with such a big Lab/Lib split.

I've often thought the Libs should just **** off. I mean what's the point of them really?
