Possibly...not that I can recall it. Events are developing fast atm and views can change.

In whichever way I thought would give us least chance of ending up with Steptoe as PM. We'd be fked.

Funny, judging by other threads on here I’m surprised the brexit party isn’t nearer 100%

Could be the Boris Factor picking up some previously disenchanted (as well as shy) Tories.

The Brexit and Conservative Parties would do well to collaborate and a) get Brexit over with while b) keeping Corbyn well out of No 10.

They won't collaborate, and Boris won't deliver Brexit.

How about Jeremy in Number 10, do you reckon the Boris Factor can prevent that or, much the same, make a significant contribution?

I think Labour's leavers might vote Brexit. Anyone's guess who that puts in Number 10.

There are lots of shouty types out there

In fact you’d be led to believe everyone was LGBT by the amount it’s publicised .. rather an a very small percentage of the population

And I think politics is the same ... beware the silent majority

Yeah but this is a people's poll.


My (Conservative) MP is a strong no deal leaver so I'd probably back her, but any sign of backtracking and it's BP. If I lived in Beaconsfield (Dominic Grieve) or Hastings (Amber Rudd) or any seat with a Remain/deal MP then definitely BP.

Problem with such an approach is that (in Hastings at least), Labour is a close 2nd to the Tories.

A split of the leave vote between TBP and the Tories will boost Labour seats. Labour would then have no choice (as they won't gain an overall majority) to form an alliance with the SNP and the Lib Dems. Have a guess what happens to Brexit then.

I am sorry for my outburst I didn't see the change option as it was hidden down the list.
I just feel that the major contribution she and other principled women like Caroline Lucas have made to British politics is often overlooked.
Thank you

Same as happens if Amber Rudd and her kind are all over it. Delays and excuses.

If that means some bd alliance of every silly party out there forming a fractious coalition to stop Brexit so be it. They will show themselves for the shower they are and be kicked out next time and replaced with a party that actually wants to leave.

If the last 3.5 years have proven anything it's that we can't leave with a parliament full of ardent remainers.

Whoever can do the most damage to the Conservatives and Brexit. Given how utterly useless they've been so far, surprisingly, I won't be voting Conservative.
