Thanks for all of your replies by the way guys, my mind has been made up.
I mean Germany has BILD but not even them are so disgustingly biased as some in the UK media

I read somewhere that Murdoch's mother was still alive?
She must be 1000 years old

Let's not pretend that Trezza May will not get bored and go for another in a year
Corbyn's got the support of us in WrassleGAF, so he's certain to win.

She's dead. Lived to 103 though.
Gotta vote on leaving the EU without a deal

It's dead jim
They aren't taking Paisley. Feegie park tory councillor and all.
Mhari is a bit of a walloper imo, still voted her even though I liked Douglas Alexander. I knew him through the local labour party when I was a member, he helped me with some work problems I had in the MOJ. Good guy.
Let's hope the Curse of Menome doesn't strike.

Why do you think that? She's always got some great speeches and views on social issues.
You're probably right, I'm just very skittish of this truly being the election in Scotland where Labour voters sell their souls to go out and vote Tory in ridiculous numbers. There's probably even going to be some 2015 SNP voter backstabbing going on. As in, vote progressive in 2015 when it appears indyref is dead and buried, freak out and vote for the Union in 2017 when it's "under threat".
I think there will be some apathy leading to lower turnouts as well. Paisley jumped like 10% turnout from 2010 > 2015
I expect turnout drops across all (or most) constituencies in Scotland which will probably hurt the SNP, combined with the surge from Labour to the Tories.

He has my support, but tactically I have to vote Lib Dems in my constituency. Because our voting system is a hot mess.

Worst case scenario means Tories have less seats than they do today, and Labour can be encouraged that leaning left is still viable. They don't need to beg Blair for any help. I'm still crossing my fingers for a Corbyn victory though - it's about time we got a political shock in the right direction for a change.
My Facebook feed is getting absolutely ridiculous about this vote though:
Friend 1: "Remember tomorrow, VOTE BLUE!!!"
Friend 2: "You spelt red wrong mate, don't know why you are showing off pretending to be a Tory anyway."
Friend 1: "You can just fuck off"
Friend 2: "I guarantee if I cut you open you will bleed labour red"
0.o

Im shitting my pants for Conservative gains in Scotland. I just can't fathom anyone in this country voting Tory after what they've done in the past and what they will continue to do.

Me neither, after poll tax etc cannot believe folk will vote in large numbers. Then again the orange order have organised well, pretty sad really.
The one that I half overheard was due out at 11pm, but thought was YouGov, so maybe not.
If you have the right person to do it i'd guess yes. Look at Macron, created a party 1 year ago and now is president and his party is due for a massive voters share in the parliamentary election next week if you believe the polls.
Not sure who that person would be in the UK though.

Yeah, but - and not to rub salt in the wound because even if I'm from England I have Scottish ancestry... - no one could fathom the Tories getting an increased majority in 2015. Or people voting to leave an organization we helped to found in 2016. We are, a United Kingdom of political sadomasochists.

Analysing why will be interesting. I'm hedging it on Labour to Conservative converts, and stay at home 2015 SNP voters. The biggest shock to see will be as I said above, SNP votes in 2015 flipping Tory. I think there will be a few, but the biggest gains will be from Labour voters abandoning their party and opting for "Strong and Stable".
in Germany, this wouldnt even fly for satire magazines.
Media (especially satire media) can ridicule persons but not actively be rude. The sun and mail would loose their license.

Bah, I thought all the pollsters would want a final day one. Looks like they're averaging around 7-8% Tory lead.

Seems about right, means Labour wont be to far behind for next election.

It'd be either the next leader of the Lib Dems or the leader of a breakaway new party from Labour.
A genuinely new party in Britain has to win FPTP elections in 323 constituencies, from scratch, with no local knowledge or prior work done. It takes decades of work to win in Britain.

Live in Perthshire, there's plenty of 'em up here.
Anyway, I'll be doing my part and voting SNP in an effort to keep them out.

Survation at 11pm. If any poll will have labour in front it'd be that one given their weightings.
The old labour voting wholloper I work with told me yesterday he'd vote Tory over SNP because of the Indyref stuff.
That'll be the one. Time for a drink beforehand.
In somewhat related news, I've just completed my application form for a job with the NHS...
Maybe I should have held off for a day or two before submitting it. Oh well.
