Managed to convince someone to go lib dem to labour :)

Sure it's a Tory/Lib dem marginal, but I made it clear that lib dems are just smiling Tories

Realistically speaking, what are the chances of Corbyn winning? I don’t want to follow results as I don’t want to stress myself out into oblivion and my heart can’t take that.

If by winning you mean a hung parliament then the odds are at least 30%.

Genuinely I don’t think labour is going to win, at best, there will be a hung parliament and Johnson will become a laughing stock for pissing away a 15 pt lead, and a few key tories will lose their seats due to tactical voting.

Yeah if you have low canvassing turnouts or high turnover in the constituency the information on the sheets is next to worthless

Apparently someone photoshopped a photo of her to make her look like she was wearing two odd shoes. Which clearly means you're unfit to be minister for shoes. Which is her brief, of course.

Right wingers are loving obsessed with Diane Abbott to the point that wondering why she is wearing two different shoes takes a wierd turn as they try and figure out if her leg is prosthetic due to gangrene or her toes are amputated due to being fat and black and suffering from diabetes

+1 for Labour in a true blue constituency here. Futile probably but at least I persuaded one workmate gammon to spoil his ballot paper and deny some ERG Tory oval office a vote. That took the best part of a year of deconstructing every gammony argument he had to the point that he could no longer justify voting Tory. Even then, despite pointing out that actually his policy views aligned very closely with Corbyn, he couldn't bring himself to vote for Labour. I swear gammonism is like a loving cult, it's extremely stressful and difficult to deprogram these people.

Every other gammon I gave up on and resorted to shaming them by pointing out if they'd given to the workplace homeless charity drive and then voted Tory they might has well have punched the charity workers in the face and stolen the money for themselves. Probably not going to win any more votes for Labour but I hope they feel like poo poo.

Alternatively just look up the most extreme left wing position you can find and just state it as fact with a smug expression.
Do this.

They might have all the Sun Sez talking points about Corbyn, but if you can confidently sound off about how all the land in this country was stolen by Geo. III and should be returned to the parishes and how food should be a municipal service then chances are they won't have as much of a counter other than that neeps are antisemitic.

So my cousin who lives in a rural ish uk town that's traditionally Tory (and not particularly marginal) just posted that he doesn't know much about politics and doesn't trust Boris Johnson or Jeremy Corbyn but voted green, so not a terrible result requiring immediate banishment from the family at least.
