Is it just me, or does she have a very confused accent, almost sounding Scottish at some point, relatively neutral when she gets into her stride, falling into very deep farmer as she gets more angry.. When she was losing it with Farage last night, she sounded like she was herding cattle..

I am so disappointed, that was a shocking performance. Looks like it is game over now, except in super-tactical seats like ours.

I joined the Lib Dems when it seemed they were the only credible pre-remain option. Oh well, a good opportunity missed. On the bright side, my LibDems joining pack arrived in the post yesterday, three months late. The second flyer to fall out of the pack was entitled 'Demand better'.

Quite.

Not sure what to with the badge....

Crap choice in this election. I have to vote for the person and policies I loathe the least. A liar, a deluded communist fool or a lady without a hope.

Great......
Yup same here.

My seat is a very safe conservative one so labour aren’t getting in. I’ll probably vote libdem. If I thought labour had a chance though I’d go with the conservatives.

It’s by far the worst choice I’ve ever seen, I’ll still vote though.

I don’t like the direction the conservatives have gone in under Boris and Cummings but labour under Corbyn and McDonnell to me look much much worse than all the other options.

No she’s been parachuted in to replace the previous Tory that Boris kicked out. He’s now gone somewhere else.

All the candidates are new as it’s such a safe seat. I quite liked my old conservative MP but Boris got rid of him when he was culling the centrist remainers that voted against him.

Exactly the same here, safe conservative seat and I dont like the direction the tories are headed. Labours policies are so unaffordable at so much back to the 1970's that I remember well, I will never be voting for Labour. So do I waste my vote on Lib Dem (who I find myself agreeing with more than the others, or do I just draw 3 giant penis's on my ballot paper and give them names like Boris, Jeremy and Jo?

Vote with your conscience. If enough people had the bks to change their mind things may change for the better in this country.

Vote Tory and you enable them, vote labour and you enable them. Vote with the party that most closely represents your values and your consciences remains clear.

If nothing else MP's in marginal seats (IMHO) are "better" than those in seats where they could stick the right coloured rosette on a donkey and it would win.

Who knows, maybe everyone else is thinking like you.

The popular vote may not count for seats, but it is counted for other things, like future broadcast and media coverage.

Not Dominic Grieve's old seat then? I lived in that constituency for many years. Back from when Ronald Bell was MP and before Blair failed to land it for Labour.

Mine now was Lydington's and I haven't a faintest who's standing instead of him.

Jo Swinson, mmm. Well, as a remainiac I'm still planning to vote Lib Dem since I'm seeing it as a least-worst option in this thoroughly underwhelming GE campaign. I really wanted to like Swinson but I've found her to be uninspiring and something of a light-weight unfortuntely. Absolutely no way I could ever back Corbyn though, and I see Labour as a soft-brexit party anyway, not one of remain.

I've voted Conversative for years, up until the brexit ref, but just couln't bring myself to back May previously, or now back now Johnson and delivering brexit. Where have all the sensible Conservative MP's gone?! I'm in a safe Conservative seat so I've got a wasted vote here anyway, we had Alister Burt for many years who always seemed a properly decent guy and good constituency MP. I'm nostalgic now about when politics was safe and boring...

I met her the other day if we're talking about the same person and I thought she was pretty good and was taking an interest in local matters - unlike the arrogant current MP...

I see no reason Not to vote Tory.
It is (other than Brexit) a vote for the same stuff that has mostly worked very well for the Uk over many many decades and seen our growth and change. It has funded massive increases in personal wealth, sickness's treated, public services etc etc. I see an even bigger st storm if Brexit goes to more votes or with Labour screwing it up.

PM's are temporary and only those with the utmost talent (Maggie/Blair...like them or not) have the ability to massively change the Uk and it relentless advance.

So for me it is very much not a vote for Boris but one for "steady as she goes" with the economical stuff as we steer through the choppy waters of Brexit.
