Who to vote for by constituency. Look up yours.

I thoroughly recommend any Leave supporters to follow this advice. The
more votes that the Brexit Party can take from the Conservatives, the
less chance the Conservatives have of getting a strong (or possibly
any) majority.

Given how few seats UKIP ever got, you're off with the fairys, again.

I'm not expecting them to win any seats, merely to cause the
Conservatives to lose a number of marginal seats.

Sure, but I still cant see that given how unlikely a no deal brexit is
now.

Interesting to watch Corbyn committing political suicide.
Wonder if he is that stupid or has just decided to retire.

Even less chance now that a no deal brexit is even less likely.

Exactly the reason there could be a resurgence of support for TBP.

I dont believe that there are enough of those who want a no deal
brexit or that there are enough of those in marginal seats either.

IMO yours is just wishful thinking.

Wonder who came up with the way of avoiding the need for a 2/3
majority for a general election and why they didnt think of that
earlier.

The trouble with a bill is that MPs can propose amendments. Those
amendments could introduce all sorts of restrictions, extras, etc. Indeed
Labour tried to add on giving the vote to 16 and 17 year olds and millions
of EU citizens resident in the UK - a form of gerrymandering.

Sure, but I was really wondering why the law that now requires a 2/3
majority didnt stop a bill with a simple majority short circuiting that.
