Tactical vote for me. I vote Green in any poll with proportional representation but for a General Election that's meaningless in Woking. The constituency has only ever returned Conservative MPs and that's unlikely to change this time around. However, it's also a remain constituency and our MP has consistently voted not just for Brexit but a bloody hard one at that. It will be interesting to see if this gives the LibDems traction locally. There's an outside chance of a change if the election is seen as a Brexit referendum.

Bollocks to Brexit, I'm voting Lib Dem.
I hate this Tory government but most of all I hate how the electorate settle for the same old shite, time after time.
Posh sods looking after their own, snouts in the trough, tax haven heaven. The broadcast media will be led by the right-wing hyperbole espoused The Sun / Daily Mail / Daily Express / Daily Telegraph.
Jo Swinson has a tall order but I hope she can inject some personality and some realism into this debate.

They could use the money they've saved on the 'Get Ready For Brexit' adverts ?

Looking forward to this 
Being on NSC through the early hours as the results start to to come in is one of the highlights of the UK system of Parliamentary democracy.

Any party that doesn't have Corbyn as its leader. Stop the nasty party at all costs

No surprise there, that's right vote for a party with one policy and stuffed with cranks.
Another vote for anyone but the Tories. You would have to be an idiot of epic proportions to have experienced what they have put this country through and believe their promises.
3% of the BREXIT Party are anti-BREXIT ?
I would suggest someone finds the 3% of Brexit Party voters who believe they are anti-Brexit and the 4% of Lib Dem voters who think they are pro-Brexit and perform the concussion test.

A lot of people, correctly, think that Brexit is not the most important problem we face and should not be the defining issue in a General Election. So the Lib Dem voters in question may just have a strong view in favour of all those other other clear policies advocated by the Lib Dems which differentiates them from Labour and the Tories. Oh. hang on...
While Anti-Brexit Brexit Party voters must just be unbelievably dim.
Of course some (not me obviously, I am a polite grown up) might be tempted to say 'that's just 'Brexit Party voters' isn't it'?
Totally agree, especially in this election. The political landscape will dramatically change IMHO, as this is a single issue election. I think the Cons/Brexit vote will split each other in two, Labour don't have a position so will lose votes other than their traditional hard left, and Lib Dems will hoover up the remainers making them equal to or ahead of Labour.
Hung parliament with potentially a Cons/Brexit coalition, in my worst nightmares..

It could be interesting to see any pacts that come out in the coming weeks between Dems/SNP/Plaid/Green etc.. to not stand in any seats with small Conservative majorities to try and give the anti-brexit/pro-referendum parties a clear run.
Can't see Brexit/Tory or Lab/anyone forming any similar pacts.
However I don't see an election changing the landscape of parliament too much.

BREAKING - confirmed MPs will be able to put forward amendments to the election bill - i.e. allowing 16 and 17 year olds the vote, EU nationals, etc.
Boris has threatened to take his ball away and pull the election bill if it is in any way altered. Let’s see if he proves himself to be a colossal thundercunt once again.

Very much this. Being a public sector worker has seen wages frozen and funding majorly reduced making my job very difficult

Never has the electorate been more fluid or less tied to one political party and yet the main parties still rule out pacts like they're going to win a thumping majority.
It really is pathetic.
In a parallel universe Chuka Umunna would be defeating Johnson and leading a Progressive Alliance of Labour, Lib Dem, Green, Plaid and SNP towards a ground-breaking new dawn for British politics.

You are clearly mixing up two different party's there.
