Well it's the big day tomorrow! I bet you all can't wait. ^_^ It's your chance to legitimize Johnson';s seizure of power and he'll tear up the EU Rule Book! :sm What will happen after that? Well, who cares. All that matters is Freedom. It doesn't matter if the government you vote in is a bunch of idiotic, blustering Colonel Blimps who believe that the only thing that matters is being Free ! No, wait, they do have a policy other than Tearing up the EU Rule Book don't they. They'll pour More Money into the NHS than Ever Before! :rolleyes:

I believe that's one of the possible outcomes...

I honestly cannot guess with any confidence what's going to happen

all I know is how I'm going to vote, which is Conservative because I am backing up the Referendum
Result and if there is a Lab / LibDem / SNP coalition Brexit is lost... although if the Boris deal keeps
us too close to Europe while losing influence in the EU decision making (such as it is)... it's still not
really satisfactory... I would have liked to have voted for the Brexit Party and ''''changing politics
for good''''.... but as this election is tactical I don't have a BP candidate .... 

The Remain Camp have nearly managed to wreck the democratic decision to Leave....
But they have to have Corbyn as PM to do it and they're not too happy about that (I'm estimating
the majority are not happy about that....)

Around half my friends will vote Con and half will vote Lab....
But where I live I'm pretty sure that the Con Candidate will win...

Every Brexiteer in the land needs to get out and vote tomorrow.

We need a majority of at least 50.

I dont think all the lying about the NHS being up for sale has had any impact on the polls because only people that want it to be true think it is.

But I think the terrorist attack, the anti-Semitism, and the patients sleeping on the floor of hospitals might have had and impact.

Nothing surprises anymore about UK politics and more so, just how fickle the voters can be. People are indecisive when they're not sure on what to do. Both camps haven't any clue as far as I'm concerned and the electorate has picked up on it and any reasonable outcome is possible at this stage. 

All in all i don't think either side will be celebrating a new direction for Britain as much as a closing of a confusing and messy chapter. There's no guarantee of the narrative improving anyones life or that of the nation.

If we dont get at least a 50 seat majority I`m concerned we might have to settle for the Boris deal.

I want the Hard-Brexit.

I don't think you understand what's going on.  Boris will push his 'pretending to leave' deal no matter how big a majority he gets.

Thankfully that's just hypothetical.

Just to put my prediction out there to see if I'm right tomorrow, I'm going with either a very small Tory majority or a very small labour coalition.

Has anybody seen the disgusting YouTube Advert yet.

It starts off going on about how Boris has won a landslide majority, then Brexit gets implemented, then it starts to turn with Trump wanting to buy the NHS and ends with we can all vote for progressive parties tomorrow to block Brexit.

If someone could explain to me please why Brexit is the only thing that matters, and explain to me how after Brexit everything will be so much happier? It sees that everyone's so fanatical about Brexit that they really don't care about what plans or policies the Government may have, beyond vague shouting from the rival Party Leaders that they'll pour more billions into the NHS than the other lot.

why? What do you look forward to Johnson delivering, apart from Brexit, and saying that he'll pour more millions than ever before into the NHS? I really would like some concrete answers as to why a Conservative government will bring about a happier tomorrow. Mere propaganda about Jeremy "Jezzer" Corbyn being a Communist and/or a terrorist sympathizer and/or wanting to eradicate the Jew isn't enough I'm afraid; I want persuasive arguments as to why the conservatives will make Britain great again.

As an outsider you might not get the feeling behind Brexit.

For us its about the future of our country. The majority of the UK public has wanted out of the EU for 30 years and we only recently got a referendum over it. This is our chance, our chance to wriggle out of it.

And the first step in turning back the clock to make Britain great again.

I am still thinking a majority somewhere between 15 and 30 will be in the ball park. I dare say if Boris was offered that today he would bank it ;) Having said that I think there is more room for an improvement on that result than less seats. 

This looks like the last individual poll before election day. -

11 Dec - Opinium - Con 45%, Lab 33%, LD 12%, BRX 2% 

 

And new poll of polls from Electoral Calculus, which has hardly changed from the last one.

 

Current Prediction: Conservative majority 46

Party 2017 Votes 2017 Seats Pred Votes Low Seats Pred Seats High Seats
CON 43.5% 318 43.4% 304 348 396
LAB 41.0% 262 34.3% 180 227 266
LIB 7.6% 12 12.1% 13 13 29
Brexit 0.0% 0 3.1% 0 0 1
Green 1.7% 1 2.3% 0 1 1
SNP 3.1% 35 3.5% 27 41 43
