True, but the voters have now had 2 further years to see the *real* Corbyn. Also the 'Remain/Revoke' parties are talking of a pact, similar to that which worked in the Brecon and Radnor by-election. What might work in a by-election, is unlikely to work on a national level, as campaigning resources are necessarily spread far thinner. -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham |

Farage has presented the Tories with an impossible choice. Yep, but he has no choice on that, its the only thing he can do now to make himself less than completely irrelevant. They cannot of course discard the flawed deal that Boris has devised Yep. (no doubt merely putting his name to the hard work of others) It wasnt any others that got Barnier to dump the backstop. because his deal is all he has to show for his time as PM. Yep. He lost just about every vote, The only votes were on brexit stuff and he didnt lose his demand for a general election. It remains to be seen how that works out for him. Quite a gamble imo but he has always been a gambler. he made extravagant promises about when we would leave, He was never in any position to promise anything on that and didnt. ALL he ever said about that was that he'd RATHER die in a ditch than ask for another extension and was forced to ask for one anyway. ? but at least he came up with a deal that, for many people, is only slightly worse than Theresa's deal. Substantially better without the backstop in fact. So Farage, a propagandist in the mould of Goebbels, will preach that Boris is a failure and a traitor and that his deal is rubbish. Thats his only viable option now to have any relevance at all. And Labour will benefit enormously. Nope, Corbyn has just committed political suicide, you watch. Great imo. ? Probably gaining a few seats overall Bi chance. He'll lose lots and with any luck with get the bums rush himself. Otoh its hard to see who Labour can replace him with, likely some woman actually stupid enough to believe that all that matters is a woman running Labour. in what will again be a hung parliament. Maybe. It remains to be seen what the royally ****ed off voters will do about electing remainer MPs. Even if its the same number as currently, its hard to see that they will be able to refuse to rubber stamp Boris's deal. They might conceivably force another referendum but even that wont work. No chance of the new parliament revoking Article 50 imo. |

Dave Plowman (News) wrote .. My guess is we'll end up with yet another hung parliament, In practice, no different from the current one. The election predictors suggest that the Conservatives could get a small majority. Its too far out for the predictors to be useful. They are quite a bit further ahead of Labour than at the start of the last election. Yep, Labour is really on the nose with the the voters and its hard to see that anything Corbyn can do bribing wise will change that now given that he has tried the bribes already and has got that result from doing that. Ranting about corrupt govt wont convince many imo. However, the last week has seen a small increase in support for TBP Hardly surprising given how irrelevant they were previously, and they could be crucial in losing the Conservatives some marginals. I doubt it given how on the nose Labour is with the voters. That might be a problem with marginal seats with some chance of a LD candidate getting up but imo there arent enough of those to matter much. Sure, a few rabid remainers like you might well vote for the LD now that they are the only real black and white opponent of leaving apart from the SNP which is only standing in scotland seats. Votes for Farage will simply cloud the issue as he's very unlikely to win any seats at all. And certainly nowhere near a majority. Thurrock is considered the most possible TBP win. But still hopeless now that Boris has ended up with a brexit deal that is acceptable to all but the most rabid like the DUPs. The FPP system means that TBP hasnt got a hope in hell of even getting Farage a set given that the couldnt even manage that previously. UKIP were only about 1,000 votes short of taking it last election. Where do you get that from ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurro...in _the_2010s But now that Boris's deal is acceptable to most, there is no way that seat will do better for TBP than it did for UKIP. Its not as if there has been any useful change for them in demographics in such a short time. What change there has been is worse for TBP, particularly the cave in on the backstop by Barnier. I cant see that Farage's claim that Boris's deal isnt a real brexit will convince many that constituency. I'd like to see Farage win a seat, though. The clash between his enormous ego and that of Boris should be fun. He can't be both an MP and an MEP. He cant be an MEP with the UK out of the EU. |

The problem for Farage is that its unlikely that TBP will do any better in a general election than UKIP did given that there is more chance of a non BRINO now than in the last general election. And given that UKIP never managed even a seat for Farage, there is no chance he will get one now, let alone anything more than that refugee from the Tories being reelected. |That is what Tice and Farage and others will be doing. Didnt help them last time and won't this time either. They are unlikley to lose support., They have every chance of gaining it. Cant see that now that a BRINO isnt going to happen. Trival loyalties aside, we have - Corbyn/Labour = Clueless Communism. - Swinedottir/Liberals = Big Tits and Europe. - Boris/Tories = Brexit in name only, turn back on USA. Back to virtue signalling politics - FISHY****/SNP = racism, lies, and an 'independent scotland' enslaved to the EU. - Farage/TBP = clean Brexit, drain the swamnp and political reform.

Labour landslide forthcoming. Much as it pains me to say it, you are probably right about that. GULP! Even the 'dogs in the street' can see that. The arrogance and stupidity of politicians is astonishing. My guess is we'll end up with yet another hung parliament. In practice, no different from the current one. I'm not so certain. There appears to be a split in The Brexit Party itself over this issue. Leavers have a viable option in the Conservative Party and Remainers who respect the result and just want to get things done have this option likewise. There is also the issue of votes being split between Labour and Lib Dems. Some people just want to see the issue resolved one way or another and don't want any further frustration. Although polls aren't to be taken at face value, they show a significant lead for Boris at present. Nigel is threatening to tell everyone that Boris' deal is not really leaving the EU but I don't see him gaining much support. Even his supporters are questioning what he is playing at. To the best of my knowledge, it hasn't been since the 1930s that a newly minted party has been accused of succeeding only in splitting the vote in a number of constituencies and allowing a rival party to form a government (The New Party). The Brexit Party claims to have the machinery to fight a General Election but they're no longer the party of leaving the EU; they are the party of leaving the EU in a very specific manner. Farage has presented the Tories with an impossible choice. They cannot of course discard the flawed deal that Boris has devised (no doubt merely putting his name to the hard work of others) because his deal is all he has to show for his time as PM. He lost just about every vote, he made extravagant promises about when we would leave, but at least he came up with a deal that, for many people, is only slightly worse than Theresa's deal. So Farage, a propagandist in the mould of Goebbels, will preach that Boris is a failure and a traitor and that his deal is rubbish. And Labour will benefit enormously. Probably gaining a few seats overall in what will again be a hung parliament. Before it's over, Farage will realise the consequence of pushing Boris too hard and, at the last minute, switch to backing him. Unless Farage is a megalomaniac, he will come to realise his party can't realsitically win many seats. Come to think of it, he does act a bit like a megalomaniac so maybe he will pursue his delusion to the bitter end. Its better for Farages ego and bank balance to continue to be the agitating outsider, causing chaos. Boriss deal is *not* what Farage wants, so it makes no sense to claim that hes going to facilitate that when he could make much better hay out of complaining about FPTP denying millions of Brexit Party voters being represented in Parliament. Tice was banging on about proportional representation at the BXP launch yesterday. Read the runes; theyre gunning for either no deal or changing the UK electoral system to something that will put them into Parliament. I dont think Farage will be worried about waiting a couple more years for either of those to happen. Hell continue to make a fortune in the meantime. -- M0TEY // STC www.twitter.com/ukradioamateur |

Quite a gamble imo but he has always been a gambler. he made extravagant promises about when we would leave, He was never in any position to promise anything on that and didnt. ALL he ever said about that was that he'd RATHER die in a ditch than ask for another extension and was forced to ask for one anyway. ? but at least he came up with a deal that, for many people, is only slightly worse than Theresa's deal.

Probably gaining a few seats overall Bi chance. He'll lose lots and with any luck with get the bums rush himself. Otoh its hard to see who Labour can replace him with, likely some woman actually stupid enough to believe that all that matters is a woman running Labour. in what will again be a hung parliament. Maybe. It remains to be seen what the royally ****ed off voters will do about electing remainer MPs. Even if its the same number as currently, its hard to see that they will be able to refuse to rubber stamp Boris's deal. They might conceivably force another referendum but even that wont work. No chance of the new parliament revoking Article 50 imo. imv, all accurate analysis and the problems for agent cob and forage don't stop there -- www.abelard.org |

The electorate may not accept it however. The brexit partyt is steets ahead of UKIP in terms of candidate quality and is not handicapped by an executive who belong in the 19th century. UKIP was always an alliance between several disparate forces. TBP is simply one focus. Less government and none of it based in Brussels at all. it took 40 years of being slowly engulfed by the eussr.... it will take more than a few days to wriggle free...brexit does not even start until article 50 is imposed politics is the art of the possible....not the art of dreaming -- www.abelard.org |

Opinion polls are a device for influencing public opinion, not a device for measuring it. Crack that, and it all makes sense. - Peter Hitchens. Hitchens actually wrote an interesting article about that quote, after it had been picked up and spread widely on Twitter: https://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co...the-polls.html Long story short, the polls arent to be trusted, not necessarily because theyre inherently and intentionally corrupt in their data-gathering and questioning but because the final presentation and interpretation of them as Hard Fact is irresponsible and foolish, at best, and designed to mislead and wrongly influence, at worst. Youre more than welcome to believe the polls if it brings you comfort, though. There's only one poll that matters, and that's due on Dec 12th - if that goes against you, I'm eager to see how you explain it away... -- Paul Hyett, Cheltenham |
