Depressing. Stand by for more cuts, more tax rises, less police, more austerity. All whilst being told it's good for us.
Who in their right minds would vote for that.

It was up a lot more but then polls came out for a hung parliament so it dropped. Since then its bounced back up.
Conservatives to remain in power but with a marginally reduced majority, that's my prediction.
No chance in Labour getting a majority imo.
Although in a slightly twisted way a Labour / SNP coalition could potentially work if the condition was to take Scottish independence off the table.

doubt it'll happen, but a lib victory is probably the least worst of the possible options, at least their leader does a passable attempt at appearing sane.

You could quite easily list a few labour party negatives or false statements and say who in their right minds would vote for that. There's little point concerning yourself in such a way that you try and belittle other peoples voting choice.

I would love to see a Lab/SNP government, with independence firmly ON the table! 
Doesnt matter, ill personally sit in glee as they cant get a bed in their local hospital (if it even still exists) and that their local police is too busy in London.

Sturgeon must be rubbing her hands in glee. Westminster lead Tory hard righ government with hard brexit would likely be more than enough to swing the indy vote her way if they get another indy ref. It will be a dirty campaign where the closing notes would be it can't get any worse if we go alone and i'd imagine a lot of people / enough to win will agree. If anyoen who lives north of p'boro thinks a May governemnt will do anything to improve your lot in life, then you are fooling yourself. The next 2 + years for her will be spent on shoring up london and cutting an awful deal with the EU to keep financial services here, because she knows that if they go this country is back in the poor house more so than it already will be.

SNP down 5 - 10 seats, Tory vote grows across southern Scotland in a protest to SNP constant callings for indyref2.
Tory increase of 20 - 30 seats to give them a larger majority

Some people are just hysterical, not realising Labour will make a mess of things - seems like people have seen through their fanciful plans.

Voted Conservative. Was going to vote Labour but it won't make a blind bit of difference here anyway and I like my MP.

Not hysterical at all, I started work under a Thatcher government and they all screw things up. This Con government is going to be far right, which doesn't fill me with glee.They will get crucified once they've screwed up brexit, but of course will have done a huge amount of damage to public services before they go.
I don't see Jeremy resigning. Not unless there's someone with less baggage lined up to take his place. Win or lose, the Labour campaign team are going to see this election as a success.
Compared to 2005, 2010, and 2015, the part has energy. It's enthusiastic about itself. Ed Miliband almost seemed ashamed to be a Labour politician at times.
I don't really have much time for politicians in general.
