Hung Parliament

[hereIam]

Just heard on the news on my radio that BJ thinks we may have a hung Parliament - NO!!!! I may have to rethink my views and vote now. Can't stand the thought of Corbyn being anywhere near the helm. Is it fast becoming a disaster now ??

[dannyk13]

Did he actually say that, or did he warn that people should vote Tory to prevent one?

[ToraToraTora]

like i said last week, when you run the team, complacency is as bigger opponent as the opposition. Bojo is making sure that's all, so get out and vote Tory, the last thing we want is Agent Cob and his black shirts strutting about.

[Bobbisox1]

Me either, that’s being catapulted back to The Cameron and Clegg fiasco, hands tied and not being able to implement the promises made for a Brexit departure etc

[hereIam]

I can't remember his exact words danny, but he seemed concerned that there could be a hung Parliament. I can't do links, but on Mail Online it say Labour is now in the lead - arghhhhh !!

when I was captain of a rugby team I was always pleased and worried in equal measure when we scored first. As we ran back for the restart I always used to shout "right forget that, it's 0-0 as far as I'm concerned" , I think Boris is doing the same. Fear not, It'll be a Tory majority. I'll take a wager for £20 to charity with anyone, asked gromit twice but he's ignored me.

[dannyk13]

hereiam, just checked the Mail on line and what it says is that Bojo's lead is cut to 28 seats, not that Corbyn is in the lead.

[ToraToraTora]

no way Labour are in the lead:

HereIam, how to do links, left click the address bar, it will highlight then right click and select "copy". Then go to the window and hit CTRL+V

I must be panicking ..

[Hopkirk]

The national percentages may mislead. There are so many unusual factors in many constituencies that anything could happen.

Anyone not voting because they assume it is unnecessary could feel very foolish afterwards.

[ToraToraTora]

just get out and vote me old china, that's all you can do.

[Ken4155]

He said that not voting Tory 'could' lead to another hung parliament. That, apparently, is the message he is concentrating on during his whistle-stop tour of marginal seats on this last day of campaigning.

[ToraToraTora]

have you had a bet on the election ken?

[naomi24]

Just vote, hereIam. I told my friend, a life-long Labour supporter who can't bring herself to vote for Corbyn, but can't bring herself to put an 'X' next to a Conservative name either, the same. Just grit your teeth and hold your nose if you must ...and do it. Keeping Corbyn out is crucial. He and his cronies spell nothing but disaster for this country.

[Old_Geezer]

He wants to rethink that message. Must be plenty happy to see them all hung after the last stagnation fiasco.

[Ken4155]

Like most sensible folk, TTT, i can only see one outcome - a Tory win. They are 1/33! I have the 33, i don't need the one:-) Even if i could hazard a guess on how many seats they would win (pollsters are no help there) the prices are still too skinny to entice me to dip a hand in my pocket; 300 - 349 seats @ 8/11, 350 - 399 @ 6/5. 4/1 and upwards for the rest.

[ToraToraTora]

yeah not much value there ken, maybe some value in the smaller parties.

[Gromit]

Seems like a good place to post my final prediction:

Conservative - 317
Labour - 252
LibDem - 18
SNP - 41
Plaid 3
DUP 7
Sinn Fein - 7
Alliance - 3
Independent - 1
Green - 1
Brexit Party - 0
UKIP - 0
Change UK - 0

[diddlydo]

Hereiam - don't have a re-think and don't vote. Simple.

[ToraToraTora]

still don't want a wager then gromit?

[naomi24]

hereIam, you wont vote Labour and diddly is encouraging you not to vote at all. That speaks volumes.
