    It will be a low turn out election. So honest.y do not under estimate the tories ability to pull a rabbit out. Low turn out is to their advantage.

    Just remember under FPTP refusing to vote for the lesser of two evils. Is a vote for the greater.

    Also watch local polling. This election changes many tory safe seats. But also seems to be predicting changes in the most likely party to win against tories. So keep an eye on the numbers in your constituency. So you can choose the lesser evil most likely to lose a tory a seat.

      I’m in NI specifically Lagan Valley which will probably put dup in again also I can’t even fucking vote labour here. My vote will count for fuck all. I wish people in mainland UK would remember that the scots and norn Irish don’t fucking vote Tory.

          No one. Dup has a stronghold in lagan valley. Plus no matter who is elected as an mp from Northern Ireland usually makes fuck all of a difference to parliamentary arithmetic. Also we don’t have many questions on pmqs and I support a united Ireland so I disagree with sending people to London anyway. If I was voting for a representative in the Dail then that would be different.

        Lack of enthusiasm. To many voters not inspired by any party.

        Oh and polling is predicting it.

          Yeah, good points. I think it will be a differential turnout and it will be low overall… but only because the right wing voters stay at home, while the centre and left come out in force to administer a kicking to the Tories. I.e., even a higher turnout won’t save the Tories, because it’s not the left that have the enthusiasm problem. It’s just negative enthusiasm.

            Left wing voters with no one representing there views. Can get pissed of as well.

            Fptp is far from a motivating system. Some of voters really do not think starmer will be any better.

            I personally tend to be anything but the tories. But many in the UK are less political and do not see starmer as anything but another living politician.
