I think the election playbook is quite simple.
We know that the Brexit question cuts across party lines and that both Labour and Con will loose votes to parties offering a clear leave/remain manifesto, probably in similar proportions.
So the question then is, who will hold the balance of power in terms of seats to offer an alliance? Brexit Party or Lib Dem/SNP/Green group?
My money is on Brexit who will then naturally align with Con. The devil in the detail would be then for BJ to get a Brexit "deal" that satisfies Farage. Or will Farage just lend his weight to simply get UK out and sort out the deal afterwards (surely the better option?).
Aye, that's was Donalds advice.
Boris and Nige join together to be an unstoppable force.
Good bloke is Donald. 😂🤣
This is the super-successful "do or die", "dead in a ditch" Boris who has had pretty much everything he's put through Parliment defeated? And Furridge, who has "left politics" so many times he himself has lost count. Kippers have had two whole MPs and now have none. The Brexit "Party" are at 7% in the polls.Boris and Nige join together to be an unstoppable force.
Sounds like a Recipe for Success!
With 5 million leave voters in the Labour heartlands up for grabs, I see Nige doing fair to middling.
The southerners will back Boris.
A couple of Scots will back Nige.
And only a fool would back Corbyn.
Greens, snp, dup and the rest will fight over scraps and Swinson will fade away.
Farage has proposed a so called "Leave Alliance" this morning and given Boris two weeks to respond before putting in his nominations. I think there is no chance of Boris going for that. It would require him to scrap the recent deal he negotiated with the EU, which he isn't going to do. If he did it would likely split open the Conservative Party all over again. It would also probably drive some potential Tory voters into the embrace of the Liberal Democrats.
So the Brexit Party is likely to field candidates in all constituencies in England, Scotland and Wales. This may split the Leave vote in marginal constituencies but on the other hand may take plenty of votes off Labour in the north. It is anybody's guess as to which factor will end up being the more decisive.
I so hope that is true, then they will split the brexit vote and we end up with a 100% remain paramilent leading to revoking article 50, happy days.
I definitely agree with you there. The other big potential problem of going into cahoots with the Brexit party is that the conservatives would definitely kiss good bye to the ‘remain corner’ of their voters. I know lots of long term conservative voters who are or were remainers that would still vote for Boris, even if a bit begrudgingly, but not for a Boris ~ Farage alliance

But then again just as likely is the Remain vote being split between Labour and LibDemsI so hope that is true, then they will split the brexit vote and we end up with a 100% remain paramilent leading to revoking article 50, happy days.
That's why it is so hard to call how this election is going to go.
