O'Kelly Isley III Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Brexit Party support has crumbled - https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/uk-election-polls-tories-have-clear-16point-lead-over-labour-as-lib-dems-and-brexit-party-hit-by-big-a4292851.htmlI would expect no less from a publisher who employs George Osborne as an editor. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Constituency polls are always less reliable than national ones and all the usual caveats apply. But if this is an indicator of what is to happen in the strongly pro Brexit Labour held marginals, then we are in for 5 years or Tory rule. Great Grimsby has been a Labour seat since 1945. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Grimsby_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#MPs_since_1832 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Just now, MixuFixit said: That's Melanie Onn too, a lesson against being pro Brexit labour There is no Remain boost in the constituency. According to that Leave candidates have 63% of the vote. If the poll is accurate then there is no way to defeat Leave in that seat. As positive as I am about the Labour manifesto Brexit has effectively won the last four UK wide elections and the referendum. Backing Remain is backing the underdog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Only if everyone votes on Leave v Remain. I don't think they will.Only way that would work is if Lib dems just stand down completely. Give labour a run in England, plaid,greens and labour a run in Wales, and SNP a free run in Scotland. But heh...Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that polling they would be on for their largest majority since 83/87. That said, as always: polling should only be used to show shifts in sentiment, not final votes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The Lib Dems blew it big time with selecting Jo Swinson as their leader. Having 12 MPs after the last election no doubt limited their options, but how they can't make more headway against Corbyn at the moment among moderate Remain voters beggars belief. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think polling is all over the shop here - there will be inconsistencies across the country and just wonder who they are polling - younger voters were seriously under looked last time round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 It's frightening how many arseholes might vote Tory.Especially folk that don't have a fucking halfpenny to rub together!!My dads one of the worst. Stands by the old adage that Labour bankrupt the country and the Tories bring back profit. Even when you point out austerity has trebled the deficit he’ll ignore it and claim it’s nationalist propaganda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tory won with 41.5% of the vote which was an increase, the SNP came second with 38.1% of the vote which was slightly down. The Lib Dems trailed at 7.7%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
