I'm really excited for this election for a whole bunch of reasons, but frankly I have no idea what is going to happen and would not be surprised at either Corbyn being PM or the Tories having a majority of 100 At least we can have a good crack at booting out Anna Soubry in my constituency.

I'm interest and active in the election, but I still think the Tories will win. Mind you, another majority of 10 and a majority of 100 are very different things, and thats why it still matters even though Labour aren't going to win.

Theresa May in the dingy room of patriotism. It's like a goon basement except with union flags instead of anime body pillows. We hope instead, rather than as well...

She comes across as way out of her depth On the other hand, the 'Strong and Stable Leadership' narrative will probably stick, regardless of the mockery of it

I really hope this EU dinner thing keeps going or gets bigger with another disaster meeting, just keep chipping away at the soundbites. Eventually it's got to drive any pro-EU Tory to either election apathy or outright madness.

It's pretty cool that in their attempts to pass off the reports about the dinner with Juncker as just Brussels gossip they've managed to confirm pretty much all of the details of it, from the expectation to get citizens status done by June through to the whole "lets make Brexit a success" line.

I normally don't read the Evening Standard, but it is funny today to see gideon using his new toy to have a dig at may. I think all of the first 6 or 7 pages include at least one article ridiculing May for incompetence.

Cerv posted:with an attitude like that, he hopefully won't get through to the end of the trial without a contempt of court charge. Not to defend him as a person, but he's actually correct not to stand because he wasn't called by name. His name is Mr Rhodri Phillips. His style is Lord St Davids. If he was addressed as either of those he should stand. But there was no "Mr St Davids" in the room.

TACD posted:It's pretty clear that a good proportion of the people responding to these are reflexively hitting whatever button corresponds to THERESA MAY=GOOD and JEREMY CORBYN=BAD. Good polling is really difficult and the responses to these are not an accurate measure of what the question is asking. Jeremy Corbyn's dad killed my kitten.

jabby posted:The latest ICM poll aptly demonstrates why subsample questions should be taken with several tonnes of salt. More people say the last two weeks have made them less likely to vote Labour than more likely. The opposite is true for voting Tory. However the Tories lost a point in voting intention and Labour gained. With the possible exception of headline voting intention it's all bullshit because people will choose the answer that reflects best on their chosen party. Which is perhaps why twice as many people gave the answer favouring the Tories than labour?

These stories are completely false, and also it shows how negotiations will be difficult despite how the difficult negotiations did not in fact happen due to being false. Strong and stable.

I had a really weird dream last night that someone mocked up a spitting image style puppet of May and made a creepy video that was just a shrill falsetto screaming "STRONG AND STABLE!" as deep rumblings drew closer, distant sirens ramped up, and her head wobbled back and forth violently on a springy neck. Then everything exploded in nuclear fire and endless screaming. The video went viral on the last day before the election, Corbyn won by a landslide. Then at the steps of number 10 he turned into a robot and started firing death lasers out of his eyes because people voted him in over a loving internet meme. I think 2017 is really starting to get to me.

I suspect that 'beloved leader of an empire of corpses and ash' is her more likely endgame, whether she reaslises it or not. The Tories are trying to turn us into a martyrdom culture, and are having an impressive amount of success.
