[Politics] Definitive General Election Poll

[blue-shifted]

If there are people such as yourself who really, really think the stock market and £ will rise on a Corbyn victory, then it worries me that he might actually get in.

You're right, traders aren't stupid. They'll be shorting the shit out of anything in the market with a UK taint....

Markets will quite rightly predict that even the most calamitously run economy inside the EU, will easily outperform the best run economy outside it.

And they won't naively believe the tabloids telling them that Johnson and Javid will be that good and that Corbyn and McDonnell will be that bad

I think someone mentioned it elsewhere, but in this particular instance many folks are voting with Brexit in mind (hence the amount of 'tactical' voting.

Point of order.

'ABTT' Tactical voting is absolutely not ONLY about Brexit.

There are plenty of other valid reasons people wish to prevent a Tory majority government.

I despise what the Tory party (particularly the ERG) have done to this country over the last few years and can't ever see me voting for them. I will be voting LD tactically in the very slim hope our incumbent safe-seat Tory can be booted out. If labour hadn't swung so hard to the left I would have voted for them.

What I said.

Folks will vote tactically, not always following their true Party.

Thanks.

Policies and manifestos are generally b0ll0x and ignored anyway.

Therefore, and I may be mistaken, some folks will only be interested in one element of the BP.

But why would they do that?! We've had a referendum, why are we having another one? Are these people anti-democracy?

Great in-depth political insight

You're wasted on NSC

Not really, they're voting in an election.

I'm really warming to you.

Ignore the others, you're OK really.

 

[Mellotron]

Not really, they're voting in an election.

But you've literally just said they're going to treat it as a 2nd referendum, despite being completely opposed to the idea. How does that work?

 

[Is it PotG?]

You're wasted on NSC

Are you sure you're just not wasted?

All MPs have their own party and personal agendas.

Kyle and Lucas are opposition MPs. It is their JOB to 'disrupt' / counter / oppose government policies with which they disagree.

Yes but in Kyle and Lucas you have two bad losers working their own agendas

I've always liked you

Any further revelations on where bears defecate, what religion the Pope is, or what Dolly Parton's preferred sleeping position is

Where did I mention this '2nd referendum?

Pray tell.

What specifically have either Peter Kyle or Caroline Lucas done, that you feel was serving 'their own agendas' rather than acting in line with the interests and wishes of the majority of their constituents?

I am 57 and have always voted Labour, this time may be different for two reasons, not a fan of Corbyn, my vote needs to support remain.

Point uof order.

'ABTT' Tactical voting is absolutely not ONLY about Brexit.

My tactical vote is indeed to try and prevent a Tory government. In this political system we have little choice sometimes.

My vote is not based around BREXIT.

For Tories that liked Cameron's type of Conservatism, the Lib Dems offer a closer match than the now defunct Conservative and Unionist party...

They certainly were a close match in carrying out their austerity program ...

Policies are barely relevant for a huge swathe of voters, sadly. They'll follow the flag blindly, and tick the blue box, regardless.

The Tory and Labour party could literally swap manifestos, and a massive number of their voters would loyally tick the box for 'their' party.
