Has the bolding of my key points made it clearer why your analysis that "No UKIP -> Tory boost" is naïve, at least in the context of a seat such as Skinner's?

Your bolding adds useful emphasis but given the data you have provided, my own research, and the result of this seat in the last election, I'm confident in maintaining that labour will benefit most from UKIP standing a candidate in Bolsover.

Random Integer posted:The SNP only get 4% of the total vote but they only stand in 9% of the total constituencies. Seems a pretty representative outcome to me. Its interesting how this only suddenly becomes an issue for many people when the SNP is involved. are you on crack? if you pull out subsets of constituencies with that logic you could easily pick and choose the best for each party and come out with more than 100% of MPs total Cerv fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jun 6, 2017 |

According to current polls, Tory net gains on UKIP vote only puts about 10 seats at risk. But my intuition would be that people who went Lab > UKIP are a little bit less likely to go Con than people who went Con > UKIP or DNV > UKIP and so we might see a smaller effect in Labour seats and a bigger effect in Tory seats. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Tories pipping 70% in places like Boston (despite the discoverer of DNA, Paul Nuttall, standing there).

Since everyone seems to be enjoying these (I use the word loosely):quote:Basically boys, the way it goes is this, the Educated understand that the Conservatives are the only party who can actually run a country, if you look back at all the most recent recessions they where directly during or after a Labour party government. The trouble is the uneducated forget this and vote labour because Corbyn says he'l give them 5 days more holiday and free university education. So you can't blame labour voters for following labour. They know no better, and haven't got the foresight to understand the cost to the economy and brexit if labour actually end up running the country.

All big businesses already tax evade as much as they can. The answer to that is not to throw your hands up and say, "Well, guess taxing rich people is too hard, cut all public services", the answer is to properly fund the agencies that crack down on tax evasion and legislate to close tax loopholes and prevent offshoring.

But if you do that they'll just leave and you'll have nothing as opposed to the little you get now. Clearly this'll never work. e: I'm fine with seizing the assets of people/companies who leave because of taxes. Tell me why this is a bad idea, UKMT.

No one loving believes you. You don't want Labour to win but you just can't bring yourself to admit that you're a Tory. It's laughable, especially when you spend such a significant proportion of you're life in this thread. Careful now. You need to read the rules regarding "Pissflaps and you" or else our Tankie mod will put you on probation. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Dennis Skinner just told everyone that the problem with Eastern Europeans and displaced people coming over here these days is that they are not joining unions, so they can't be helped by them to get fair treatment and wages, and that it's people like (Sports directs) Mike Ashley's fault that there is antagonism.
