Snap election - could TM have seriously miscalculated?

Yes, that's what I thought, GracesGran.
I hope their students take notice.

Interesting list of signatures Jen.

Brilliant timing.

Didn't say you did the polls Jen,n I never bother checking them, I did object to you comparing a country with a city and suggested you compare two cities

Someone got it right.

The polls are all over the place, ranging from 12 point to 1 point lead for the Conservatives. In the end, it depends on seats and the number of tactical votes. The number of 18-24 year olds who actually vote could also make a difference.

Interesting polls about number of seats by yougov.
Tories will not have majority, but with Northern Ireland or SNP could form a government.
I wonder what will happen then.

Some people could start an argument in an empty room.

One person's view of the situation in Wales:

www.newstatesman.com/long-reads

Disappoint me? Good grief why would I disappointed over anything which is of no interest to me .jen.?

I didn't do the polls, Annie. I am sure you can find what you want if you look.

But not England and Wales, and why not Cardiff and London? Both are capital cities

Oh, and some of my family were born in Wales and have really Welsh names. Sorry about that. I know it will disappoint you.

Did I compare Wales and London?
Thought not.
I was just saying that LABOUR ARE GOING TO WIN IN BOTH LONDON AND WALES.

That, to me, is a reason to rejoice. You do whatever you like, Annie. Sackcloth and ashes?

And Jen, perhaps you need to speak to your family who have moved to Wales, they may help you understand there is a difference between a country and just one English city

Ourkid I'm afraid it's not looking at all good for the Lib Dems.

That will be Brighton then?

My Tory candidate believes in the power of prayer to cure the LGBT community.

Unlike you .jen who know all, I have no idea what every Welsh voter will vote firm I do know Carwyn launched the election campaign, I do read his emails and am in contact with both labour MP's and Assembly members , best you Google voxpox for an answer

Haven't seen any election flyers for Tories here. The Labour ones have the woman who is standing. The Libdem one has the candidate, too. Haven't seen any others other than the newspaper wraparound which only mentions May.
I wouldn't know if the Tory is male or female.

Is every Labour supporter in Wales going to vote for Carwyn Jones?
Are those elected going to decide to stay away from Westminster in protest at Corbyn being the leader?
Or are they going to sit in a corner and sulk and not vote to support Corbyn on anything?
Is that the sort of childish behaviour you think will be good for democracy, Annie?

I can't recall not having respect for Wales. Some of my family live there and vote there. Perhaps you need a bit more respect for the UK voters.

I canvass for the LibDems and the feeling from voters is increasingly that the Tories are getting far too confident of winning for their own good. Arrogance is not a good trait in a politician and that is beginning to be realised. I think (hope) Theresa May may be in for a shock. I think she will still win, but with a greatly reduced majority and, hopefully, increased LibDem representation in Parliament. I am sick of this two-way political system we have and the tit-for-tat arguing which we see on television.

Wales is a country, London a city and please , even though you are English do fund respect for other countries in the UK. In Wales it is Welsh Labour who are fighting this election ,

The election fliers - Tory's have May , Welsh Labour have Carwyn

I've noticed that polls in Wales state that 46% are going to vote Labour, compared with 35% Tory.
I do hope so.

London it's 50% Labour - 33% Con.

daph I think that shows the success of the opposition to run the agenda.

She assumed incorrectly that she could manage the whole thing.

She isn't much good at it.

For anyone concerned about housing affordability for their children and grandchildren, or even them having somewhere to live, here is a comparison of housing policy in the manifestos.
