Owain
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.
unfortunately,

Dont believe it.
The issue is the possibility of tactical voting by some to avoid letting
Boris become PM.
There isnt even remotely enough tactical voting
to make up for the need for 100 more seats for a
Labour/LD coalition to do better than the Torys.
There is a strong campaign for that,
But it wont produce anything even remotely like the
100 MPs necessary to produce that result, you watch.
and there is some evidence that it is working.
Bull**** there is.
All it takes is for a few hundred people in a few tens of constituencies
to switch their vote tactically
It actually needs more than a hundred
and Corbyn gets to be PM as head of a multi-party coalition .
Taint gunna happen, if only because the LDs aint
gunna have a coalition with Trots and Marxists.
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.
And clearly not enough thought Boris was horrible
enough to stop him being Mayor, twice.
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.
Sure, but its not going be be enough to get 100 more MPs
elected so that a Labour/LD coalition is viable with a rabid
Trot/Marxist Labour party.
And FTAOD, such tactical voting does not show up in polling as the sample
size is too small
Yes but 100 MPs is a hell of a lot of MPs to get that way.
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
Dont by that with a Labour/LD coalition,
The real question is whether Boris ends up with an absolute majority,
a coalition or a minority govt. IMO there is a decent chance of a majority,
but it could well not be given that the leave remain split is so close.
