Can't say I would - taken to the extreme both ways ends up with most people being **** on and a large degree of mostly arbitrary restrictions placed on our lives. But one is slightly easier to recover from than the other when people finally are pushed into a corner.
This really is the point. Labour spent most of their time and effort on telling us what they would do and trying to explain how they would do it. Tory spent 4 weeks telling us that Corbyn was basically Stalin's ******* son and Abbott was a retard and completely failed to tell us what they were going to do, apart from invoke a weird arse dementia tax.
It's basically how I swung from Tory to Labour, because there was some actual substance. Now if it turns out to be unicorns like David Davis brexit then I'll vote Tory at the next election

Can't see that ending well.
JC/Labour. Know they have a winning formula, a slight tightening up and a bigger push and a makority could be their's for the taking.
Boris/May/Whoever/Tories. Haven't actually done much other than slate Labour, not gone exactly to plan so what do they do? say the same stuff louder or find new mud to sling?
presumably whoever advised her to call a snap election is hiding in a cupboard somewhere in Tory HQ
this is all the governments doing..they could have just left things as they were
its not the fault of the voters or the labour party or anybody else

Hope Amber Rudd loses her seat -that will be a lovely bonus tonight !
Quite.
Even if she gets a small amount of the vote she's a dead woman walking as the whole point was to increase the majority.
It goes to show how utterly insane the claims of Jeremy Corbyn being "weak" are. Strong and stable leadership from the Conservatives? Two disgraced leaders in a year says otherwise. On the other side, Jeremy Corbyn has endured two leadership challenges and the most sustained media smear campaigns in recent memory and is stronger than ever.
She could still be PM.
Tories would have to change the way they campaign and try and sell the positives of their manifesto with Boris as their leader.

Exactly - the last 4 weeks where the media have had to give JC and Labour proper airtime his approval rating has shot up while May has tanked - if he gets more exposure it can only work in his favour
Same....if I look at my friends though, we have very different financial situations... I find it hard to imagine why they would vote Labour, just as they would think the same for why I vote Tory.
So the Exit Poll based on in total, 30,450 people were interviewed as they exited from 144 polling stations across the UK.
So 211 per seat in question. Yeah, and with young labour voters probably more likely to be interviewed.
And postal votes are not part of any exit poll.
I wouldn't hold much stock in that poll.
