If it had been someone else on the lefts turn as the token candidate in 2015, where do we think Corbyn would have been in the shadow cabinet? If Diane Abbott were Leader, or John McDonnell, for example. I couldn't see him at Shadow Chancellor. Home Secretary maybe.

had abbot or mcdonnell been on the ballot they'd almost certainly have lost - abbot actually had the previous election campaign.

I'm not sure, they'd have still benefitted from the OMOV rule change and the general mood for socialism in the membership. I don't think Corbyn was uniquely capable of taking advantage of those factors. He might have done better since winning in 2015 than the other possibilities, though. Who else was even in that group? Skinner?

The "Vote For Policies" thing is back again, I got a red/green split with one Lib Dem policy area in there too *spits*

Busy reminding people to vote tacticoolly to get/keep the Tories out in their area. Vote with smarts as well as hearts.

Is that why they burn the moors in yorkshire then? I wasn't sure if it'd take trees up there cos it's very rocky, you can see it on the ascent, the old stone worn out by the rivers and glaciers to make the tees valley.

I know they burn them in patches but I thought it was cos otherwise it all loving goes up at once whenever there's a fire.

Trees don't especially mind growing on rocks. Some trees, anyway. Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean is an amazing example.

So.

If we get a hung parliament but the Tories are still the largest party, do they get a go at passing a Queen's Speech as a minority government, even if there's a viable Labour/SNP thing oven ready to put in the microwave?

Niice. And he's one of the only named donors to the Labour Party in the era of Corbyn so if you see him do give him a pat on the back from me.

He's a good (vegan) egg (replacement). Got into trouble with the fuzz for hanging big banners saying "for a green government, vote Labour" outside the ecotricity offices in the middle of town. Still not taken them down.

Hopefully the weather won’t put people off, it is not looking great on Thursday.

That's why getting out the vote is crucial. If you can find a spare couple of hours on Thursday evening, hook up with your local party and go knocking. People will forget or say they'll wait for the rain to stop (bring a spare umbrella!) or want a lift. Check back again later to make sure.

There are seats around the country where every single vote counts. Go hard for three more days and we can win this.

Make the offer. People turning up whenever will be pointed in the right direction and made useful. In 2017 I just rocked up at the constotuency office with no clue and asked what I could do, any warning more than that will be great for them!

Put a tenner on Labour Minority an hour ago at 7/1 - odds have shortened in that time to 9/2.

I've got money on LAB 35-39.99% so am fully expecting us to smash over the 40% and leave me happy but poor.

Also Lib Dems 5-9.99% which I'm still feeling good about.
