Will the upcoming Clause V meeting drop the commitment to ending freedom of movement?

+ many obvious briefings that 2019 will be similar to 2017

- it will make Credible Leave Option a hard sell. CON is still the main opponent, not LDEM (too far behind) or SNP (too far ahead). Insofar as the tactical ambiguity is still being won very, very hard at this point, one might as well go all the way.

Easy punt is for the manifesto just not say anything about it.

Conference suggests the platform should be global freedom of movement, which the shits aren't going to include so I'd suggest they will talk it up in a EU context rather than the full motion. It's going to be disappointing.

63 is the number of groats in a guinea in British pre-decimal currency, which might become important again if the Brexit Party win big.

Over that 20 week period the Tories went up about 3% and Labour up about 12%

If the same happens this time it'll be painfully even again. We really need either a quicker boost than 2017 or a Tory drop.

Hoping for a BXP surge :hotpickle:
This is about how I feel as well, the big thing why the 2017 election was so even was because it was basically a two horse race between Lab and Tory where both had ridiculous high shares of the overall vote each.

Frankly, we need the BXP to gently caress over the Tories and it makes me want to be sick just saying that :smith:

It's not just Islington the Lib Dem's are bullshitting about, I've been bombarded with letters/leaflets the last 4 days all saying Labour can't win in Finchley & Golders Green, where 'What party am I in this week numbskull' Luciana Berger's running for them.
Labour were ~1600 votes shy of the Tories in 2017, Lib Dems were nowhere. Is this poo poo even legal? The only source they say id some Survation poll from October, but not what question was asked of the people surveyed.
While we're on that subject, has anyone here ever been surveyed for any of these polls? I've been asking everyone I know recently and no-one ever has.

Genuinely thought the JRM comments were a parody. For some reason I thought 'the poors died at Grenfell because they were too stupid to save themselves' would be a bridge too far even for a Tory. More fool me.

I've been polled for some of the national Survation ones because I signed up on the website in the hopes of getting £50 in about four years time.

The local ones seem to be phone polls though.

What does the thread think about canvassing and poppies? I wouldn't ordinarily wear one, but at the same time I don't want its absence to be a lightning rod for arguments.

I don't mind the poppy per se, but it's become such a symbol of right wing aggression and part of the fetishisation of the military that has flourished since the 1980s. If you don't wear a poppy you hate Britane and are boyz etc etc.
There are arguments over white poppies everywhere, some people get deeply offended by them.

I found a poppy last year and have carefully preserved it for reuse.

Yeah, I’m in the same constituency and have had three or four mailshots from the libdems in the past week (their survey, which seemed to be what they’re using to get their idiotic graphs from, was returned with ‘gently caress off piss-tories’ scrawled on it, everything else went in the bin). Kind of hoping really that I get some of their canvassers visiting so I can tell them just what I think.

Incidentally had labour canvassers in force out on our estate today, and I heard quite a few other households declare either for labour or that they hadn’t decided yet; this place has historically been full of turkeys-for-Christmas working class tories, so I’m hoping it’s a good sign.

This is one of the few nights a year I wish I lived in a tower block. We always used to go to my mate's brother's flat on the 19th floor and could see a hundred displays in one night, and people would only occasionally deliberately aim rockets at us.

Also I'm keeping up my 100% record of having weird pets - my dog, for the 11th year running, is refusing to give two shits about the fireworks and is in fact snoring loudly enough to drown them out. My cat, meanwhile, is desperate to go out so he can see what all the noise is about.
