fridge corn posted:Where do I find out how my constituency is polling? I live in a marginal seat as far as I know, there's no constituency - level polls. Some betting websites let you bet at the constituency level, so you can have a look on the odds there, but that is at best a expression of where people are putting their money not anything based on polls.

People sometimes pretend door to door canvassing figures are 'polling' but those people are idiots.

pointsofdata posted:Tbh a proper inheritance tax would be more than that, but yes. Agreed, albeit with a higher minimum as you said. This 'll be outrageously punishing on families who are unlucky enough to be both working class and in need of social care. Putting a percentage on it rather than leaving it open ended makes it seem much more easier to grasp how bad it is.

Coohoolin posted:If SNP MPs would vote for a Corbyn government in parliament, than isn't a vote for the SNP a vote for Corbyn, especially when certain Scottish Labour candidates are explicitly anti-Corbyn? The SNP has a symbiotic relationship with the Conservatives because they both love banging on about independence. So gently caress them.

I know they it is not the same thing as a poll, but if you have good canvassing you can use it to predict the outcome of an election extremely accurately.

Welp. That's poo poo. Labour could've sung 'dementia tax' all the way to a small majority Conservative win. Now is going to be 'May will listen to the people!' Seriously, the Tories have been flip-flopping on tons of things for the past 7 years, and while the media get all in a frenzy about it, I don't know that most people care beyond the fact that something slightly less poo poo is going to happen to them as a result. If anyone has evidence to the contrary that would be good.

Zalakwe posted:Steve GIlbert's old constituency, that is a really interesting one. I think the LDs will likely come second at least Could be. Certainly when canvassing for Labour our biggest obstacle is the belief that only LDs can beat the Tories. On the other hand, people remember what Stephen Gilbert actually did.

I think this 'climbdown' is another miscalculation. They look weak due to the u-turn but haven't actually changed the policy enough to defuse the damage it's doing. It's still a dementia tax and it now hits that crucial middle class demographic hardest.

MikeCrotch posted:Because, as has been pointed out before in this thread, Labour is pairing the cap with increased taxation on wealthier families. So everyone gets the benefit of the cap but if you're richer you will pay more, its just not explicitly stated via means testing. You only benefit from the cap if your parents estate was greater than estate value floor + contribution cap. Inheritance tax is indeed better, but the cap still make the pay for care bit worse.

Pissflaps posted:Jeremy desperately trying to take attention away from May's horror show This is just stupidity. I mean, if you support a unified Ireland and believe that the UK did terrible things in Ulster absolutely fair enough...but you can still say the IRA were a terrorist group. I mean, they literally were. And likewise, you can condemn the IRA without endless prevarication and whataboutery. Considering the handwringing in this thread over a bloody cup (a cup that promoted a policy far more liberal/open than Corbyn's policy on immigration), I'm surprised people are so sanguine about this. It's giving the Tories a route back to controlling the narrative every time it looks like they're on the back foot.

Can we get a full transcript? It still isn't an improvement, if that prevarication was the answer to a question on whether the IRA were a terrorist organisation.
