And this is the issue with politics in this country. People entrenched in their voting habits.
You're basically saying you'd never ever vote Tory, no matter your personal situation.

I live in John Glens constituency. There is not a cat in hells chance he will lose. So what's the fucking point in me voting. (I will be voting btw)

I haven't always voted Labour. Even at this stage I might not vote for them tomorrow-it will come down to a gut feeling at the ballot box. But the Tories would have to change substantially from an ideology that has been busted each time it has been fully implemented. They do not give a rat's arse about places like Nuneaton that send them majorities.

Most people could say the same. Lets face it unless you live in one of a handful of marginals you might as well not bother voting.

Exactly how I'm feeling. Gut feeling at the box. However like I say, and like Dave points out. Whatever I vote won't make a farts worth of difference where I live.

Genuine question before anyone gets the hump.

Does anyone know why the Coventry South Conservative candidate has done little to no canvassing? There was talk of it being a seat they could win but she seems to have only turned up for photo ops with Boris Johnson and Nicky Morgan.

Looking on social media the Conservative candidate for Coventry North East seems to have spent more time canvassing in Coventry South than the actual candidate!

I live in a 2% marginal. Saying that I also lived in a 2 vote marginal, never mind 2%

I'm sure I've asked you this before, but do you ever not argue? Hand on heart.

Nearly every single post you ever make on any thread involves an argument with someone.

On ANY thread. You can't come out with that tosh. Nowt to do with politics. You are the same on every thread, be it politics, football, Coventry city centre, Coventry City of Culture, anything and everything. Doesn't matter what the thread is, you argue about it

That's fair enough but surely then she'd be out with the Coventry South candidate. If she was going to be the only one out campaigning why didn't they just put her up in the winnable seat and put the candidate who can't be bothered in the no hope seat.

They can't afford to buy a house, their children are having to take on £50,000 plus of debt to go to university, they care about the environment and they haven't had all the optimism of youth knocked out of them yet.

Anyway, might as well draw the thread to a close (as this will be over bar any Electoral Commission investigation into the Tories) after tomorrow.

Vote Labour.

Just saw Corbyn smugly declaring that he'll win on the BBC news. Does he know something we don't?

Hope anyone who is placing value on the polls is firmly of the belief that the 'will of the people' is now to remain

He has no chance of a majority and would be a puppet in a minority government told what to do by the National socialist Sturgeon and Swinson

What a great prospect that is

Better than Johnson doing his level best to alienate Scotland and Northern Ireland from the union with even Wales not far behind.
