How large a working majority will Tories get?

[VectraMan]

Labour surge continues - Tories 21 seats short of a majority

The problem with all this is it'll only serve to encourage Tory voters to turn out. What we need is lots of polls predicting a huge landslide, and then laugh as Corbyn sneaks in.

I suspect it'll be a small increase in Cameron's majority.

I still haven't decided which way to vote. Or if to vote.

I don't see them getting 80+

About the same as now, slim majority, but a sore pair of bollocks to nurse going into brexit.

Some long but good analysis here. I reckon he's on the money, but we'll see. I'm also hoping for a slender majority. The Maybot needs a good kick.

Hopefully zero.....

Awaiting total chaos.....

Good work Cameron

If Corbyn does "get in" on Friday, the last thing I'll be doing is laughing. The only winners will be the trade unions, everyone else will "lose" to some degree, some greater than others. Those of us who work "off payroll" will be royally screwed, so some sort of hastily drafted exit strategy will doubtless be needed. In the meantime, I'll be praying for a decent Tory win, thanks. Anyone who disagrees with that can frankly do one.

hmm very interesting piece of news from our friends at the "Daily Express".

David Davis to be booted out promoted

I'm beginning to see Nigel Farage might be "turning in his" seat at LBC fairly soon. He might have to don his "Kahki" jacket after the Brexit negotiations.

Brexit ensures that we're all losers. I agree that one scenario may be less bad than the other scenario, but as the option I want isn't on the ballot paper I figure there's not much to lose by voting for someone who genuinely is different and see what happens. If Brexiteers really did believe in wanting change like they claimed they'd all be doing the same.

Nah, this speculation has been around for weeks. She'd be shooting herself in both kitten heels...just look at some of his tweets post Brexit. His views would put May in a very awkward position. Elsewhere, Boris is apparently retaining FS, which doesn't chime too well with these reports. I don't buy it - just internal "positioning", which has been going on for months, much like Rudd claiming the immigration target would be removed from the manifesto. Anyway, isn't Gummer in a highly at-risk marginal?

With a bigger majority it won't be as awkward as it would have been.

Agreed. If she has a massive majority, it's not inconceivable, but that will presumably herald a massive U turn on her White Paper, thereby condemning the Tories in the right wing press and in the next election in 2022. Anything is possible, but I don't buy it as likely. There's still a lot of internal conflict within the Tory party about Brexit, as evidenced by these "leaks".

You must vote even if it's for a party who doesn't win the seat in your constituency.

Otherwise you are totally to blame when the UK fecks up whoever wins.
