I really fear a Tory Government especially under Johnson, but I feel all the leaders are shit and useless.
Swinson has ruled out a coalition with Labour but hasn't ruled out a coalition with the Tories and I expect if there is a hung parliament that she'll jump into bed with the Tories like Clegg did.
Scotland will go independent, it's only a matter of time. Scotland/Wales and Northern Ireland are like the poor relation who get treated badly especially by the Tories.
A recent YouGov opinion poll depicts that Humberside and Yorkshire will "turn blue" and the NW of England will also do the same. I can't believe that the Tories will be only one pt behind Labour in Wales????? Labour should be ahead by much more and Plaid Cymru should also be doing better!!!!?? Scotland will "turn yellow"/SNP with about 50+ seats and no surprise there! But the overall picture is as "dark as it can be" with the Tories reckoned to have a projected majority of 96 seats!! I can't believe that an English population could possibly vote in an arsehole and a criminal called Johnson to be a British PM esp when that population has a decent "remain" proportion that is now much higher than 50%. Is this another anomaly of this daft FPTP electoral system where the Tories core support of 30% somehow gets them through into govt AGAIN???????????????? It is still early days TBF and opinion polls should be treated with caution anyway with other factors to consider before this election is concluded on 12 December but this is extremely worrying and leads me to reflect back to a previous question why Corbyn ever called this election in the 1st place!! Was he so seriously deluded???? From what I can make out, Johnson's popularity rating has gone down in most regions but Corbyn's rating is down and worse than Johnson's FFS!!!????? Nicola Sturgeon called it right in saying they are both as bad as each other and should be nowhere near a PM's position - an absolute shambles!!
