Indeedy, I shall be watching the election coverage on Lotus eaters....along with AA himself.

I do think they’ll outperform the polls slightly - expect there are plenty of people planning to stick with the Tories but not shouting about it.

I hope I’m wrong!

I am also a lifelong Tory, despite all the jibes thrown here. I only wavered during the Thatcher years.

I will be voting for my Tory candidate tomorrow. For two reasons. Firstly because she is an excellent constituency MP, accessible and helpful. Secondly because keeping the hard right as far from the levers of power as possible is a priority. In this what is happening in France has echoes for us here.

Tactical voting seems likely to become a bigger part of future politics for us too. Not yet, but down the line. Marmite man needs to be kept in the fridge and not spread over everyone. He is not to the taste of the majority.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

I have already voted Reform, and I would urge everyone to do the same if they want real change.

Labour will be disastrous for this country.

Yup shy Tories. Labour will win with a massive majority but not as big as the polls predict.

One more point

I don't think there is, or has been, a realistic chance of anything other than a Labour majority during this campaign, regardless of what the Tories/Reform have done.

I won't be voting for either, but I can at least understand people voting for Reform, a lot more than I can Tory.
