This is what social media does for you. Forces everyone into tribes where opinions are echoed, reinforced and presented as self-evident via trite memes.

I don’t much like any of the party leaders ... my view of Jo Swinson is almost ambivalent but dragged down by her defence of the indefensible, namely her party’s lunatic policy of calling off Brexit without even a fresh referendum. Nonetheless if I lived only a short distance from where I do, she’d be my constituency MP and I’d vote for her to ensure a plurality of views is heard in Parliament, but mostly to keep the Nats out.

Keeping the Nat out is one of the reasons for my choice of candidate tomorrow. But mostly, I voted Leave, I believe our country’s best future is outside the restrictions of the EU and I’m voting for the only party with a credible proposition for bringing that about.

I’m not voting for Boris, I’m voting for a local businessman who is aligned with the Conservative party and who will vote for the sorts of measures I want to see implemented.
