Seriously every party other than tories need to team up and have one single representative that we can all vote for. Or something.

There's no point, though. While I don't want the Tories in, a government can't stand on just being against another party.Originally posted by Brad View Post
What the parties should do, IMO - the Libs, Labour, the Greens, the SNP, even the Brexit party - they should get together under a coalition of electoral reform. Basically they do that, and that alone, keeping everything else as effectively the status quo, then they call an election. Then they can campaign for what they actually want.Comment

Yes they can. There are more voters for parties other than tory than there are tory. If everyone's votes were bundled together they'd win. It's maths. Once they're in power they'd have to actually sort stuff out of course but FFS we have a party called the Brexit party, with no policies beyond enacting brexit.Originally posted by Asura View Post
Now, I know it can't actually happen because they could never organise it.Comment

As we approach the 2 weeks marker, Labour could be starting to finally make some small in roads
A new report says that if opposition parties can at least drag the Tories down enough before polling day to end up as a minority government then Johnson will likely have only one option left - call a Second ReferendumComment

If there were two candidates, one Tory and the other party B and party B got more votes, everywhere, then party B would win the general election. That’s what I’m saying. I know the parties can’t ask for their votes to be grouped together; they’d have to form one party.Originally posted by MartyG View PostComment

If there were two candidates, the best you could hope for is a hung parliament due to the way first past the post works with the consituency boundaries. There are more safe Tory seats than there are Labour.
Polls have narrowed a bit over the w/e, but the Tories still hold a fair margin but I'd imagine they're getting a bit worried that it's shrinking.

When you live in a world where the news headline is 'Boris Johnson ignore's families plea not to exploit victims deaths'...
He denies it yet today they've launched a new ad showing Johnson under the header Tough on Terrorists and Corbyn under Soft on Terrorists
Listened to LBC yesterday to hear the presenter all out dive in on the Tories saying they've been in power for 9 years and that that deaths on London Bridge rest at the Conservatives feet. The Tories issued a review of methods to better deal with terrorism and attacks in the UK which returned 69 recommendations, the Tories acknowledged 68 of them and to this day, years later, have implemented a grand total of zero. Basically, he said that they were playing a very dangerous electoral game in party politics by trying to exploit the attack to impress voters.Comment

It's disgusting that any of the political parties are using this as capital.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostComment

Johnson continues his line of saying Corbyn sides with the enemies of the UK when it comes to national securityComment

Swinson has just been on Radio 2, once again confirming that in a hung parliament scenario she'd rather let Johnson become Prime Minister and gamble on letting a Tory Brexit happen than form a coalition with other parties to secure a Remain option stays on the table.Comment
