OwlFancier posted:I am beginning to feel like putting May on television talking to someone might be the worst thing you could do for her. It obviously stresses her out when she has to deal with questions that she hasn't prepared for, and considering there is nothing but bad news in the press she's going to have any spare time between now and the TV slow taken up by strategy meetings. I still think the polls have weighted too far against the younger age groups so the real numbers up until now might have been better, but what worries me about that is I think the low youth turnout in 2015 and Brexit were caused by the polls immediately before suggesting a hung parliament and a Remain win. So if the gap closes they might not bother after all (and yes I know the youth turnout for Brexit wasn't as bad as Sky initially suggested, but it was still lower than expected).

Flatscan posted:I think they blew their load way too early, the only smears they can print now are rehashes of the same poo poo they've been printing since the first Labour leadership election. The IRA sympathiser bollocks isn't gaining any traction this time round and I can't really think of anything else they could trot out that would even cause a stir, everyone's desensitised at this point. Maybe they'll remind everyone that he used to shag Diane Abbot thirty years ago. Well trodden smears can work at the moment of reckoning though.

By the way, for those who like betting on politics, you can actually get pretty decent odds on Labour voteshare. I'm currently set to make £16 if Labour gets 30%-35%, and £47 if they get 35%-40%, on a £25 stake. So, if you are confident Labour won't drop below 30%, you can get some good returns.

The way the media pantomime serves to shut down debate is a crime. Well it serves the parties as well, which is why slick PR man Davey Pie was so effective. I don't know if I'm giving her too much credit here, but I definitely remember some of Corbyn's questions being met with her leaning forward and going 'no, you see, what we're actually trying to do is...' It was pretty memorable just for the tone but obviously it didn't last long

Brexit had around 60% youth turnout iirc, which is much better than the 43% average. However, the olds had a ridiculous 90% turnout or something, so young people still lost out on average.

Local turn out is always poo poo, doubly so this year as people seem to only think of generals as the ones that mean anything.

So apparently they just finished filming the May/Neil interview for this evening, do we know why these aren't being done live? Seems odd given that they're supposed to be debate replacement.
