I think we should all adopt a Scot.
By adopt I mean keep 'em in the shed until you can think of a use for them.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last. -

My prediction of the most likely scneario - The Tories will get most seats, but no overall majority. They couldn't get it the last time, they have even less chance this time. What they gained in appeal with the leadership change from May to Johnson, they have lost with appalling treatment of the constitution and some of their longest standing MPs.
With their determination to deliver Brexit, they will get the majority of the Leave votes, TBP still have some chance of ruining their day in most hard line constituencies. They will also get some of the traditional Tory leave voters, that have "resigned with their faith" and just want it to be over.
Labour are going to be the big losers here, extremely weak and controversial leadership by Corbin. Mixed signals of Brexit direction with no clear direction on either Brexit or 2nd ref. Will basically only get the core voters on their side and maybe some tactical anti-Tory votes where Lib-Dem candidate is weak.
Lib-Dems will get the majority of the leave vote, but I highly doubt it will translate to many seats.
SNP will sweep all but the most staunch Labour voters in Scotland.
At the end of the day there is too much hanging on how much disturbance will the 100% pro-remain Lib-Dems and the 100% pro-leave TBP cause to Labour/Tory strongholds and swing seats.Comment

Hands up, who voted "Labour win with overall majority"? Whatever you're smoking, I'll have some of that.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

General elections won't resolve anything Brexit wise. The only thing that will give a definitive answer is a new referendum where whatever deal is on the table will run against remain.Слава Україні! Героям слава!Comment
