Conservative is my choice at this stage unless it looks like the Brexit candidate has a better chance of ousting the Labour MP.

We have had 101 years of Labour here, even tough the gap has been closing there's little hope of getting rid of the Labour MP in my lifetime. Every election they vote for Labour because their father, grandfather and great grandfather voted Labour, then they spend the next 4-5 years complaining about Labour!

We have very strong left wing Momentum support here who keep reminding the uneducated that the Conservatives closed all the mines. I engaged one on social media about mines in the Rhondda, his reply was "We all know the Conservatives closed most of the mines". He provided a Wiki link, it took me all of 10 minutes to work out that since WW2 the scores for mine closures were 7 for the Conservatives and 12 for Labour. The left wing extremists hate facts and just get brave hurling abuse from their keyboards.
