Running Scared,

[gulliver1]

Tory MPs asking Brexit Party not to stand against them at The G/E,
are they Frit ?.

[gulliver1]

I can see the Tories catching a cold here just like Mother Theresa did , the only advice I can offer Boris and his merry Con men is "Be Careful what you wish for "

[diddlydo]

FYI - I'm a great deal older (and certainly wiser) than most of you lot on here (Gulliver and a few others excluded).

Wisdom comes with age, but there are exceptions.

diddleydo at 10:58, I really hope Gulliver awards you best answer for that. We like a laugh. :o)

[SparklyKid]

Still laughing at didly.

Three Names:

1. Jeremy Corbyn - Potential PM.
2. John McDonnell - Potential Chancellor.
3. Diane Abbott - Potential Home Secretary.

If that doesn't put anybody off voting Labour, then let's face it, nothing will.

The fact is, if anybody is even remotely interested in who the leader of the country is, the success of the economy and our security, and they still vote Labour, then you have to question their motives (not mention their grasp on reality).

This should go in the Jokes section. Love it!

It makes sense. Tories may very well lose seats in some Southern seats which voted to remain. They face visceral opposition in some Northern seats which voted leave because they simply couldn't bring themselves to vote Tory and so would probably abstain, but the Brexit Party could wipe out the Labour vote there and more than restore the balance. If the Brexit Party held a balance in Parliament it would lead to a cleaner Brexit, I hope. There is a deal to be struck here and I've told my local Tories that they won't get one more penny from me unless they strike it.

I don't think the Torys are frit but I know what Corbyn's own party members think of their boss. Not a great endorsement from your own team is it ? oh forgot PMSL.

I'm not sure the Conservatives and Labour will be streets ahead in the real running this time. The only party promising to ditch Brexit altogether is the Liberal Non-Democrats so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the vote from equally non-democratic Remainers goes in that direction.

[cassa333]

Well if enough Brexit party MPs get in then no deal could be back on the table. Coalition anyone.

[ichkeria]

You need to remember that some Tory voters who don’t like Brexit all that much, and there are a not inconsiderable number, largely deserted them when Johnson was ranting about No Deal. Many will probably come back to them now a deal had been done.
I cannot see the Brexit Party winning a single seat to be honest. Unless they reach some sort of critical mass, the better they do in so called Labour remain seats they more they are going to take votes from people who might otherwise have voted Tory: and that’s even assuming Brexit is important enough to mean that that is what they would do.

BP needs to stand in constituencies where the Tories have little hope of gaining a win. (Preferably avoiding opposition rebels who actually believe in delivering the result of the referendum.) Then, as the only believers in democracy standing, they could pick up the pro-democracy votes to gain the constituency and hope to hold a balance of power when all's been totalled up.
