Yeah I think I shot myself in the foot a little there...

However, given 8% of UKIP voters voted to Remain I’m just going to say the survey was wrong and I’m right. Agreed? Good.
No worries, have this on me.

rofl

In fairness to Dindoit he did provide a source which would support a claim (rare for a remainer) he had made, the fact it made him look a right plum just adds to the amusement.

Could be a little premature and if they don't get a grip real soon I think corbyn will be having the next laugh I think a labour government is almost a certainty after the next election as millions flock back to UKIP... taking tory votes

There won't be a UKIP to "flock" back to. Bolton's doing a great job of finishing Nuttall's mission.

St Nige might try and phoenix something, with more of Banks's money, but the kippers themselves are in an irreversible death-spiral.

In the last election, roughly 2/3rds of UKIP votes went to Labour and 1/3rd when to the Tories, based on the fall in total UKIP votes and the corresponding increases in the main two parties.

My fantasies are a little more adventurous, like dating Eiza Gonzales.

The Tory's problem is that millions upon millions of of moderate conservatives are being disenfranchised by the Tory's shift to the hard right. Corbyn is very left, so left he shouldn't be that popular but the Tories are making him a more palatable option every day.

How are you defining ‘hard right’?
What shift to the ‘hard right’ is this and how is it manifesting itself in Tory policies?

You hope !!! plenty of people vote tory not because they like them , or the people they look after .. most vote for them because the labour alternative is too horrible to contemplate A centre right party of free enterprise as apposed to crony capitalism big business and the big banks is a very attractive idea ...
