I should really go to bed before the Sun front page for tomorrow is released. Last years was rage inducing (https://imgur.com/a/xCrpLxs for reference) and I know this year will be just as bad and if I see it it's at least an extra 20 minutes of needing to calm the gently caress down before I can sleep.

I desperately want Corbyn to be PM but I'll feel a bit sorry for him if he makes it.

Now that a lot of pollsters have released their final calls, I thought I'd compare the Tory leads to the final calls before 2017. Not that polls mean anything.

Yougov 9 (7 in 2017)
ICM 6 (12)
Opinium 12 (7)
BMG 9 (13)
Panelbase 9 (8)
Comres 5 (10)

So 3 major pollsters think the Tories have a bigger lead than in 2017, and 3 think they have a smaller lead. The average Tory lead from these six pollsters was 9.5 in 2017. It's now 8.3.

Deltapoll just came out with Labour gaining +3% like the final Comres poll, for a total of 35%. They have a high 45% figure for the Tories with a gap of 10pts.

That headline just reminded me that my Dad has started calling Corbyn "Corbinladen" because he's a comedic genius apparently. Anyway, just threw another £13 at Labour, it's not much but I hope it helps :unsmith:

Well that was fun: a post on our candidate page on FB (to which I have editor rights) about tactical voting. Someone wrote a real obnoxious comment telling her to suck cock and calling her a twat. In my own persona I replied there was no need to be rude. The response was very rude back and it was tough if I didn't like it.. so I switched into page mode and deleted his whole comments.
Mwahahaha power crazed.

I hate to say it but I think you might be better off voting lib dem in that one.

I know they're poo poo but I really can't imagine tens of thousands of libs and tories voting labour, and the way swinson nosedived the lib campaign they might conceivably lose it to the tories.

Zionist is one of those words where if someone's like "I'm a zionist" or "are you a zionist" I have to be all like "what do you mean by zionist?"

Is just thinking "Israel should exist" zionism, or is placing the condition "but Israel claims territory it has no right to and should not have" very not zionist?

I had a million answers to this, but I was so floored by the accusation I kept shtum. Was I the monster? If so, my apology will be fulsome and sincere. It made me feel terrible for something that was not my intent. I'm a gay man, if I wanted to throw shade, I know how.
wtf. FWIW, I'm a woman, I'm sure I've both said and heard that sort of thing myself and thinking of it as misogynistic would not even be something that'd cross my mind. Don't get bullied into apologising.

I went to work! Now I'm back and stocked up on energy drinks and ready to pound the pavement tomorrow even if I'm dead by the evening 'cause BoJo's been allowed to treat this country as his own for too long. Can sort the finances out later.

Questions as a first time volunteer: I don't have to be signed up to join in, do I? Will it be fine if I just show up at the meeting point at 7:00? Also, anything to bring? (It's for a canvassing event at one of the marginals.)

Yea I watched it last evening. When it first happened all I felt was shock that such a thing could ever happen. Now on reliving it, it was just a nice hot rage at the injustice of the whole thing.

Vote Labour. I despise tactical voting to prop up parties you don't actually like, but as a rationale for people who are more flexible I'd mention this year UKIP is standing unlike in 2017 which won't impact the yellow Tories at all but will take a couple of thousand votes away from the Blue Tories.

There's a small number of ultra Orthodox Third Temple Jews who are against any end to the diaspora, and especially the establishment of a political Jewish state in the Levant, until the Temple has been rebuilt in Jerusalem and sacrifices have resumed. I'm not quite sure who's supposed to rebuild it in the absence of that state but it's probably the Messiah and not the Knesset.

They're a minority among the Orthodox community though, and the vast majority support the idea of a Jewish homeland outside of Europe, and to some degree or other the State of Israel.

They'll probably be glad of the help as long as you don't seem like a tory, which given you're not likely to be fondling yourself while saying yeaarrsss a lot isn't hard.

Wrap up warm, even if you don't feel cold it gets right into your bones after a while especially if you're out for hours. I don't think we're allowed to actually campaign during polling hours so it should mostly be reminding people to vote but it'll probably be similar to normal canvassing without the selling part which is part of why I'm gonna try and do as much as possible cos I'm poo poo at selling.

Otherwise you just need to be able to knock a door and talk to folk. It helps if you remember the house number for your board runner cos if they're managing a lot of people they'll forget.
