Jess is in a 60% leave area. So it is amazing out of 25000 doors she knocked on that she only discovered 12 leave voters.

Who is she trying to fool. Daft bint.

I think that it’s going to be an interesting election.

We had 2 separate conversations last week. 1st couple are “dad voted Labour, they for the ordinary working man” types who simply won’t vote next time - nothing to do with Brexit, just dislike Corbyn.

The other were 1970s university indoctrinated Socialists who are party members and were active at branch level. They are voting Lib-Dem because they are committed to remain, and object to the antisemitism, Momentum, attempts to ditch a Watson etc.

We would normally vote Conservative, but have huge difficulty sticking a cross next to the name of Esther McVey.

25,000 / 6 weeks / 7 days = 600 per day.

86,400 seconds in a day.

That's an average of 144 seconds per "knock", assuming she was knocking on doors for 6 weeks, 24 hours every single day.

She is there indeed super-human. Or she just plucked the figure of 25,000 out of her arse.

I think the Brexit party vote will collapse when push comes to shove and they are standing there about to put their cross in the box.

Isn't it just between this:

Vote for Conservatives = No Deal Brexit, More money for NHS, schools, police, etc

Vote for Labour = 2nd Referendum on Brexit, More money for NHS, schools, police, etc

Vote for Liberal Democrats = Revoke Article 50, Cancel Brexit, More money for NHS, schools, police, etc

Vote for Brexit Party = No Deal Brexit, if in doubt see 1st policy

The conservatives official line, unofficially it's a different mater, kinda brexit party lite.

The only 2 clear parties are LD or BP, ought to to be a clear race and decision. It won't be.

Labour said they’d back an election once the EU had granted a brexit extension which the EU have.

So will Labour back an election today?

I also thought it was no deal off the table .

Surely borris can claim now he's got his new deal then no deal is off the table ?

Either go for the borris deal or remain , surely that's going to be the final choice .

This plays into Boris' hands nicely If labour continue to deny them a GE. If they still resist they are going to fall further in the polls. Everyone assumed once they had secured the extension that the threat of no deal was off the table and that was their reasoning.

Assuming to remove completely the threat of no deal they now wont agree to a GE until the end of the WA? Which is years away.

Labour don't want a GE, they know they'll lose, regardless of the excuses they give for not wanting one.

How do people think brexit will actually conclude ?

If we have a election and no party has a majority then we're back to the status quo , if we get another referendum and people vote again to leave , do we actually think parliament will carry it out ?

.
As is so often the case once the problem has been solved politicians change the problem.

It is now no longer enough to leave with a Withdrawal agreement now. Somehow there is supposed to be a guarantee that we leave with a FTA at the end of a transition period even though negotiations have not yet started on such a FTA.
