We had the windows but not the glass.

Better than having the glass and no windows.

No because you could sell the glass and buy shoes.

Corbyns new window tax is really going to hurt some people.

Nope, because there is no chance that he will be the govt.

Dont believe it.

The issue is the possibility of tactical voting by some to avoid letting
Boris become PM.

There is a strong campaign for that, and there is some evidence that it is
working.

All it takes is for a few hundred people in a few tens of constituencies to
switch their vote tactically and Corbyn gets to be PM as head of a
multi-party coalition .

Now, were this just a case of people arguing "Boris is a horrible person, he
isn't fit to be PM, bla bla bla" then it doesn't have a hope of working,
because for the group of people who are being asked to switch their vote,
the alternate to Boris - getting Corbyn as PM, is worse.

But it isn't that simple. There are millions of people in the county who
are so rabidly against Brexit that, for them, there is no alternative that
is worse than this. So a switch to voting tactically against Boris to avoid
it is not an impossibility.

And FTAOD, such tactical voting does not show up in polling as the sample
size is too small

might be a very small chance, but there's still a chance

Nope, none, you watch. Bet Labour does very badly

I hope you are right

it is still far from certain
