Party membership is a surprisingly poor guide to party popularity when it comes to votes or, well, anything else. I'm not sure why that is.

Many green party supporters will tactically vote in the elections because they know they wont get the seats at current support levels. Which will typically mean voting for labour or lib dems. IIt wont happen in this election but the 2020 election may see a strong rise in Green party voters.



IMO, UKIP members are much more likely to vote UKIP even if it would mean taking votes away from the Tories and giving about the seat.


Remember, the polls ask which party you will vote for, not who you want in power.

Who wants to abolish the monarchy. Something which really is a bit much coming from a foreigner.

I want to abolish the pointless monarchy, it's time we all became citizens not subjects. The monarchy offers nothing to society but to serve the windsors own ends. The royals are the biggest scrongers in this country

As long as they generate more cash than they cost they can stay for me.. if that balance shifts then they are gone.

Just how it's decided how much they cost Vs. how much they generate is another argument entirely!

Free Turnips For All Party?

Their manifesto makes more sense than most...

The other problem with having a nuclear deterrent is that it's vastly more likely that nuclear way will occur between others nations, in which our capabilities are essentially meaningless.

Having a nuclear weapons arsenal will not prevent nation A & B causing a global winter & killing nation C, the perceived benefit is based off a flawed assumption we will be the primary target - the chances are it will be in the middle east, USA, multi national or one of the developing economics.

If you look at the proportionate cost of the deterrent with very little practical value (for the reasons mentioned earlier) it seems an undue waste. If we could spend the same money on a real defence system which actually prevented any nukes from hitting our nation then I'd be more inclined to support it.

I'm fully in favour of retaining the nuclear deterrent, it's the ultimate Mexican standoff that's prevented any more wars on the scale of WWII.

It's not a seat that stays +1 for the Tories. If anything it's -1 for the Tories, no? The Speaker doesn't operate as an MP for their party, do they?

But if you support another party you can't vote for them, because other main party's can't go against the speaker....meaning your average Joe can't vote for anyone other than Torie or one of the other small party's

If by sovereign fund you mean massive profits for shareholders and a loss after expenses for the people as a whole I reckon you're spot on dude.

UK PLC making massive profits is a good thing for all of us.

You're forgetting the positives, water that burns! How cool is that dude and that's not even thinking about all those super exciting earthquakes.

The classic anti-fracking 'burning tapwater' shock video has been debunked as BS.
We have proper environmental protection in this country and any fracking operations will be perfectly safe, 7 have far less impact than many other similar scale industrial processes.

You can't (realistically) vote to replace him, but then it's not a benefit for the Tories. You say if you support another party you can't vote for them... but if you support the Tories you can't vote to elect an MP who'll be a Tory in the HoC either! It's not like it's a Tory member of the HoC in reality.

Instead of being a positive for the Tories (having a dead cert MP), it's in fact a negative because they don't have an MP in a seat they could easily win...

You're not following. I can't vote for another major party to run the Country.

Ukip are predicted by all polls to have between 1-3 seats, they are a total non starter, farage isn't even winning in Thanet, so go back to your ukip box.


Current polls related to seats look to the Tories having 264 lab 280, lib 26, snp 54, green 1, ukip, 3, other 22

Even the polls that put the Tories ahead suggest they won't be anywhere near the magic seat number, meaning a labour minority coalition with snp and others. No one else has the seats to prop up the Tories who would likely join them, unless the snp do a clegg and throw their morals and party away.
