QUOTE (Turin Machine @ May 27 2019, 07:19 AM) I wonder, is it possible both labour and conservative could get hammered in a ge? If there was a GE tomorrow both would be destroyed...

But do you not think that as they are a single issue party that they will have a ceiling in terms of appeal? They have probably reached it because when the GE comes, there will be some that return to the Tories as they shift to the right. I do think any that moved from Labour will stay with them as the most likely outcome will be that Labour will firm up a Remain/confirmatory vote position.

I fully expect the Tories to go for a no deal and Farage will then join them. That would mean a 40 percent share of the vote at a GE. The other parties would be screwed given our voting system.

Mine is different. I do thing the Lib Dems could get in here as we have a pro EU MP that would put any leaver off. Why would Benyon want to leave the gravy train and CAP. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail....d-cover-up.html

I’m just pointing out facts.

QUOTE (newres @ May 27 2019, 05:03 PM) And talking of gravy trains, will all the Brexit MEPs refuse their salaries? That would be the principled thing to do. This is the ultimate gravy train.... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/ne...europe-4828013430000 staff....

Further proof you live in an #fbpe echo chamber https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48403131Remind me, what was Brexit and UKIP combined? Although Brexit were the largest single “party”, Farage has demonstrated that it’s only around 30% that support his sort of Brexit and he’s also ****** up the Tories making Brexit even less likely. Win, win for Remain.

QUOTE (newres @ May 27 2019, 08:57 PM) Oh and the other thing Brexit Party have done is forced Labour’s hand over a second referendum. BJ will be in serious trouble now because to avoid a general election he’ll have to allow a second referendum but if he does that, ERG will vote him down. He’s snookered. It’s an impossible position for anyone. Yep. But Boris and Farage combined could win a GE and that would end all remainer hope. Do you want to risk that? Go ahead. Do you feel lucky? Well do ya?😂😂
