People who are firm Brexiteers, have no option but to vote Conservative, even though they may, or may not, approve of some of their other policies.
Traditional Labour has been hijacked by the left wing and we would end up with Brexit so soft, it would be almost liquid.
With the Liberals we would end up still in the EU! UKIP could not form a majority government, and my gut feeling, (with no evidence) wonders whether their are racist tendencies in some members of the party; Nigel Farage not being included in that.

If you look at my post PB the key is in the as Brexit is happening end of .... but that does not mean one should give whoever is the government of the day a blank cheque to do whatever they want willy nilly as if to be perfectly frank if they peel back the glossy veneer one often sees none of them are frankly up to much cop as for most its about picking one from a very bad bunch of leaders.

1 the tally ho fox hunting pension bashing Tory's
2 lay down your arms and disappear into the 70's with £ billions of new debt labour
3 the gay hating anti abortion weed growing not so liberal undemocrats
4 the we want petrol at £20 per gallon and all heavy goods transferred to bicycle's tree hugging loony green party

Corbyn asked several times on Sky News Sophie Ridge on Sunday, do you Condemn the IRA?
Every time he was asked he skirted around the question, did not say yes. Said 'Look, bombing is wrong, of course bombing is wrong.'
Sophie Ridge interrupts and says, "You condemn the bombing, but can you condemn the IRA without equating it to... " Corbyn interrupts Sophie, he says..."No, I think what you have to say is, all bombing has to be condemned."
I actually like Ruth and I think she is the reason Conservatives are winning again in Scotland when it wasn't even thought possible only a year or so ago.
I like Ruth Davidson as well. Wish she was in Westminster but then the SNP have done so well in part because all the good politicians from other parties head south.

This put a smile on my face when I saw this a while ago...

I'd say Theresa May is on a par with New Labour and a lot to the left of Thatcher!
I was being sarcastic. Obviously much too subtly

We have two ways of looking at this election.
1) By opionon polls Labour is gaining in votes. And it could be that people will start to think of voting for Labour.
The Momentum Party, will have a big say in this election. With votes swinging for Corbyn.
2) The way things are going Miss May is going to sting everyone, and be like Thatcher. She will cut everything going to save money.
All this talk about putting money into Social Care and NHS. I doubt will happen.
At the moment money is pouring into the Tories bank from well off rich people. Whereas not for Labour.
I have still not decided who l will vote for - even though l have voted Labour all my life. But this time, l am not sure
He found that there was a positive association between mean IQ and voting Conservative, and a negative association between mean IQ and voting Labour. So the higher the mean, the more likely the constituency was to return a Tory MP in 2015, and the lower the mean, the more likely it was to return a Labour one. Carl also found that the highest association between mean IQ and vote share was with the Lib Dems. All of which is consistent with the findings of Deary and his team. However, Carl also looked at the link between mean IQ and voting Ukip, and while that association was also negative, it wasn’t as negative as it was in Labour’s case. In other words, low intelligence was more strongly correlated with voting Labour in 2015 than it was with voting Ukip. Of the four main parties, Labour definitely attracted the least intelligent voters that year.
