Undecided?
You are not alone!

I want to hear what the two main parties have to say, not avoid it. That is most likely to be in the evening. I just avoid all the commentaries - I still have a few functional brain cells.

Leaving the country to get on with it is the best thing you can do. I've been abroad for two weeks now, with three more to go. Bliss!
Although I do follow the GN polls thread daily!

I will, of course, be voting in the election, and will be prepared to look at the various ideas laid out - using my own brain to choose between lists of 1. sensible suggestion 2. total carrot for election purpose only 3. unbelievable 4. con etc etc. But I also have my own after 9 pm , or I think in my case probably after 7 pm deadline when it comes to tv or radio, where the off button and the mute button will come into play, as I do not want to go to bed seething or furious. I have already practised this whenever I have see that lunatic in the USA Trump talking rubbish. It is fine when you are able to discuss in person with others whatever you wish , and good to hear other points of view , but when you are alone it is no good shouting at the tv! I am a rugby fan and do not follow football at all. I used to have a friend who came round to get away from a house full of football. I might offer a politic free zone for a break as the election gets nearer!! Think it might be quite popular.

What a sensible woman you are👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m with you on that GG13! We’re returning from a week in Morocco the day before voting - can’t imagine I’ll hear much about our election over there….bliss🙂

My strategy is leaving the Country for a chunk of time pre-election.

Still undecided on where my X will go, but definitely not Lib Dem’s who in my opinion are neither liberal or democratic.
