For some context, I want the Torys to get smashed. To get zero seats. Which means Starmer is going to be the next PM.

But he really is a s***-c***.

We are so so f***ed.

Sorry matov but when I read your last line I thought of the copper in the first equaliser who gets nicked and says that but singular.
I’m not hoping for a labour win but it’s inevitable now. And you are correct. We are f***ed. The only blessing in my sick brain is all the young socialists who are going to get a big nose bleed with labour.

I wouldn’t mind the whole political system crashing as it needs a total overhaul.
There’s a story on Sky and BBC that the same candidate name is being used in 11 different constituencies….now it may be that 10 or 11 people have changed their name legally but here’s the hypocrisy and stupidity of the situation: you don’t have to prove who you are to stand in an election and the authorities have no power to get you to confirm that you are who you say you are…
But you and I have to provide photo ID when we go to vote!!
Us and them perfectly highlighted!!

I read that story. Apparently so long as the paperwork checks out they are legally obliged to accept a candidate. However, as no one is allowed to stand in more than one constituency as soon as a name cross checks as identical it goes to the police for investigation. Which has now happened.

So unless 11 people have all changed their name, which is being suggested they may have, 10 will be removed.

Daily Mail going full on if you vote for Reform expect Armageddon.

What do they expect Tory voters to do? We have had 14 years of a Tory government not implementing Tory policies and yet like good little drones we are expected to continue to vote for them, so nothing will change.

I actually agree with Wibesch and Matov. The best thing that can happen for this country is the Tory party to split between it's left and right. The voters can then choose which party they prefer.

I will be voting Reform it's time to break up this duopoly.

Long and undisturbed I hope. I wouldn’t miss you.

Are you wishing me dead Wisbech?

Your posts are certainly soporific, but not fatal as yet.

We used to have a better quality of liberal leftie on this site.

I don't see how they continue otherwise, but the left side should rebrand themselves as The Liberal Increase Immigration Party.

Of course not! Just a long sleep. Maybe a week or two? I have an event I am running this weekend and need to stay focussed.

If I am a “leftie” then I dread to think what you think some others are. I guess you see yourself as a moderate and any Labour voter as a communist.

It all depends on who gets control of the assets and organisation. I am not informed on whether they are held centrally or by local branches. If the latter then it could get very nasty with lots of legal challenges.

Hopefully it’s held centrally and the major backers will ensure it’s the Tory Party which survives and the right wing rump has no option but to go over to Reform where they will have to live in the shadow of Farage.

I judge you on what you say. It usually seems left of centre to me.

I'm apparently left of centre according to a couple of questionnaires I did a few years back.

It depends on what questions are asked I suppose.

Tory candidate tells BBC election bet was 'huge error of judgement'

[Link]

They deserve to lose just for this level of utter stupidity.
Forget all the moral grandstanding, just ponder this.

Why one earth would you place such a trifling little bet yourself on a sure thing? At the very least you get a mate to do it for you and you stick a fair old whack on it.

The more cynical part of me wonders if this is part of the wider deliberate Tory crash-and-burn narrative I have been spouting off about now for far to long but even that just shakes its head.

These morons should not be able to run a bath, let alone a country.

This bloke makes decisions on our behalf.

We knew politicians were useless, but this level of stupidity is off the scale.
