Said in another thread if they field a Brexit candidate here I'll probably vote for them, as I think a lot of people will as well, and I think that will be the only chance of unseating the current Labour MP for a while, he'll probably retain his seat while having to do nothing for it, but at least there might be a chance. This is the North East, Labour owns it.

Perhaps not anymore now they've turned their backs on leave voters. The big question will be, and I will admit for the first time in my life I have thought the same, is how many people will question the point of voting as it has been proven that it doesn't matter.A Winner Is You said:

That is the million dollar question now isn't it!Tricky. Labour are usually a shoe in where I am. I now don't want to vote Cons.
Plaid or Greens. Plaid drop their independence crap it would be them. Greens. But I don't quite like what they want.
Back to cons and labour, Labour means Corbyn and never in a millions years would I vote for that fool, someone decent at the helm then possibly.
Spoiled paper methinks. Shower of brown runny stuff the lot of them.

However, I don't think that will come true this time round, especially round here as it's strongly Leave and people want to see that happen. If we don't leave, however, then I think you're right.

I’m surprised at the anger towards Labour from those who voted Leave but traditionally voted for them. I think the days of sticking a blue/red rosette on a chimp and them winning are over. Baby Shark doo doo doo doo said:

Interview in TV with a person in one of the red rosette will always win area's (BBC or ITV Wales, forget which). Person on interview didn't like Corbyn at all but will always vote labour.Tories need to not stand in Labour heartland seats. These are seats that they have no chance of winning anyway, so no damage done, If 50% of the electorate want Brexit, then TBP will end up with 100+ seats and Labour will struggle to actually be the opposition.
In exchange TBP don’t stand in Conservative marginals.
TBP and Tories have a proper alliance for the purposes of Brexit only. Labour voters voting for TBP won’t have to worry about “Giving a vote to Boris” because the coalition won’t exist after Brexit happens, there’ll be another election.
The only problem with this is that Labour would wake up and get rid of Steptoe, and thus become a credible opposition.

Really not sure how I will vote.
As a country we need to get Brexit across the line - but I am personally a firm believer in Remaining in the EU. My belief in democracy is stronger though.
Labour are a shambles and dangerous (IMO), TBP do not appeal in the slightest (and still no policies), Lib Dem just want to unravel Brexit (which will leave another generation of undermining charlatans) , so I will probably vote Tory despite normally voting Lib Dem. I think Boris 'may' have got a better deal if he was allowed to go ahead with his 'No Deal' threat, instead he has been left hanging impotently. He needs a strong mandate.
Only by playing out Brexit will we ever know what 'it' means.
I would hope that the UK would eventually be allowed back in the EU and start playing a stronger role rather than being the unruly child at the back of the class.
