If youre not a supporter of the SNP in Scotland the options are pretty limited. Ill vote for whoever is going to be the main opposition to the SNP in my constituency. That might even mean voting Lib Dem which I dont want to do because of their policy on brexit , but a bigger issue up here is another impending independence referendum.
You don't like their policy? But the SNP keep telling us all Scots want to remain. Very confusing!
Yes the SNP like to pretend they speak for everyone up here. I cant stand Sturgeon and have to turn the tv or radio off every time I hear her extremely annoying voice. Sadly, there are so many up here that buy into the nationalists vision and I can see it all kicking off again if they have a good result from this election.
Anyways, not that the articles seems to be show how they'll increase the wages. But I guess you guys don't care. As long as it ain't Labour

I'm surprised anyone at all is thinking about voting for the cons.
I think that's probably the least surprising of all of it to be honest. The average joe will be voting on the biggest issue effecting the country, Brexit.
Conservatives are the only ones offering an actual leave. The others have all said either second referendum and remain or just flat out remain. So for this GE it'll be based on that.
I would have thought by the time the next GE swings around things will have gone back to 'normal'.

Polling shows that we are still in a two party system but Brexit has crippled Labour with Corbyn not sure how to go about things so he just hides from the issue and goe on about the NHS and food banks instead.
Boris has managed to actually unite his leave and remainers within the party. The Brexit he is offering is hard enough to satisfy most leavers apart from the purists who will vote for the Brexit Party and would not vote any other party anyway but because it is a deal and no no deal he can keep remainers on board with them drifting towards the Lib Dems.
He is the only party leader who has managed to do this while Corbyn's attempt has failed.

To be honest as far as campaigns go, I'm a little disappointed with all of them. Conservatives are mostly silent as they know they are going to scoop up the leave vote and don't need to do much work, Corbyn said his campaign was going to be 'radical' but as yet it just seems business as usual and the lib-dems I would have thought they would at least come forward with some huge announcement in an attempt to sweep up the youth vote (along the lines of legalising cannabis).
That said, perhaps they're all afraid of making any actual radical announcements as they're worried the conservatives will just copy them as they have done in the past with other policies.

Farage is standing back from Tory safe seats. He knows that he will kill Brexit if he lets Labour or the Lib Dems in so it is a wise choice. He needs to let Johnson have a chance as the idea of the Benn Act (surrender treaty) was not just to delay Brexit but to weaken Johnson's reputation so that had he gone into an election without Brexit being delivered the vote would be split with some Tory votes going towards the Brexit party and thus Corbyn can ride past with Labour as the largest party.
The idea of the act was to manipulate the public by splitting Tory votes. Divide and conquer, a Marxist tactic.
It seems however than since the election has been called the Brexit Party are dropping in opinion polls and the Tories are still ahead.
With TBP stepping back Labour and the remainers are having a meltdown. Their plot has failed and Johnson has an even easier chance to win.

What kind of reputation did Johnson have before being chosen? He's always been a lying sod, who'd say anything to get money
