What concerns me more, not just now but generally, is postal voting. Like a lot of things, it has been allowed to grow out of all sensible proportions. And with this there is no security whatsoever, and no control of who is doing the voting.

Thank you Donald for your considered opinion - we'll put it a long side your suggestion of having a shot of bleach to cure Covid.

Brace yourselves chaps

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'm guessing that most people who want to read the Telegraph's headlines in LARGE FONT would subscribe to it

And I'm sure having been 'seen to' by Brexit, Farage and Johnson, you appreciate the unintentional humour in your term 'Brace yourselves'

Silence, GENIUS at work.

Polls all over the place on other parties. But still a huge Labour landslide.

Calculus at the weekend forecast 65 LibDem, IPSOS tonight 38 LibDem.

For patriots here, Reform on 3 MP’s, so not just Farage.

Corbyn to lose his seat.

I would suggest there's a lot of youngsters in metropolitan areas like London that don't have a licence because public transport there is far more convenient.

I got my provisional to buy booze. Still cant drive.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Most younger people have a provisional driving licence. Most ID accepted for alcohol is accepted to vote

My three grandchildren aged between 19-23 don’t. Two at uni and one working but can’t afford driving lessons.

I'd eat my Paddy Ashdown hat if that poll is right. I think he will be backed by his constituency voters. He's very popular there.

In terms of the IPSOS pole they note that a large number of seats are on a knife edge and a % either way could result in 10s of seats going Labour or Lib Dem.

Would be surprised if Corbyn lost his seat.

Being able to drive or get lessons means nothing, it was a way to get ID to drink. I'm now 32 and I still have a provisional.

That knife edge could favour either party in each case, there’s no reason to think they will come down to favour Lab/LD over Tory. At this stage, swings and roundabouts.

Yes but what the poll shows is that best case the Tories stand to win circa 115 seats but there are tens more which they could also conceivably lose.

If you were a betting person, how many Tory MP’s?

About 4 weeks ago, from memory 150 was the lowest odds bet. Then at the weekend the large poll said about 60.

The media talk eg LBC about 2m other Tories who may abstain this time.

No idea! Just commenting on what the polls show.

There's no doubt that the number of Lib/Dem seats, whether Reform get more than one seat, whether the greens retain Brighton are all up for discussion, but the big question is signed, sealed and delivered isn't it ? It's just how much

You're starting to sound like a commentator talking up Burnley v City

*edit* the thread has moved on

You don’t strike me as someone who is stupid enough to believe the Tory part haven’t tried to use the Voter ID scheme to increase their vote and reduce the number voting for opposition parties.

I’m not saying it’s a particularly successful strategy, in fact I believe it has backfired quite badly but it’s obviously a ploy to engineer a better vote.

Bless. Doesn't actually mention 'savers' at all does it.

My three grandchildren aged between 19-23 don’t. Two at uni and one working but can’t afford driving lessons.

Just to level that up my three children 20,24 & 29 all three at uni and don’t drive, ALL have provisional driving licences for no other reason than they use them in pubs
