Even if BXP eat into some of that, it won't split the Brexit vote enough to shift our tory MP and let the Labour candidate in. And the Lib Dems and Greens are roughly on par here with that silly b*llocks who runs for parliament with a bucket on his head. I might as well fold my ballot paper into an origami hat, spunk into it, and stick that in the ballot box for all the good it's going to do.
Exactly the same for me, lc.
If ever there was a one policy GE, it's this one.
Brexit will live or die by its outcome. Or linger on, interminably..
Sadly, I will not be taking part. When I say, not taking part, I only mean in the sense that my MP achieved a majority of nearly 40,000 (70%) in 2017 so if I vote for him or not, I will not be affecting the outcome of the GE in any way, whatsoever. I can't even vote tactically, if I wanted to. And therefore, I also can't have any say on what now happens, to Brexit.
It's so great to have a say..good old FPTP...
The only places worth voting in are the marginal seats.
The utter irony; it's very probable that far fewer than 17.4m people will 1) decide the GE & 2) decide what happens to Brexit.
Apparently, THAT'S democracy.
Now, where's my postal vote to spunk into..
