I would have agreed with you six weeks ago.

I think you'll find that six weeks ago you were more sensible.

I'm calling it - a hung Parliament. You reckon a landslide? Let's see who is closest.

Kermie - Labour need to recover lost ground in Scotland before they can even approach the numbers required for a hung Parliament. Both they and the SNP are losing ground to the Tories north of the border and they're going to have to gain there as well as overturn some pretty large majorities south of it.

It's a rout.

I can't see a Hung Parliament. Corbyn campaigning and giving speeches in already Labour dominated areas like Gateshead (Which voted 60% for Labour in 2015) won't help his cause. He needed to focus on previous Labour/Lib Dem areas that the Tories took in 2015. Parts of Scotland, Wales and the SW. SNP for example look weaker this election than they did in 2015.

I amn predicting a small increase in Majority for the Tories, 20/30 seat majority. Ashcroft I think has it 60 seats?

They've not really thought that one through, have they?

Response is reasonable but a bit daft to do it in the first place given current sensibilities

“What we are doing with that symbol – it’s an earring – is a reference to Theresa May’s Government’s relationship with Israel.

“It is a critique of her foreign policy, rather than against religion.

“I’m definitely not an antisemite”, Mr Masterson continued.

“I have Jewish friends, and my half brother and sister are Jewish.

“This is about foreign policy.”

I think if labour cut the conservative majority its been a good day at the office, or 7 full weeks, as theresa thought she would put them to the sword and increase her maj, and if they make sizeable inroads into the majority it will be good for democracy, and wild animals!

I dunno. Lots of Labour posters in peoples windows here in a seat usually dominated by Tories/Libs. More than the last election that's for sure. They won't win here but if that is an indication of 'fvcked off with the present lot' and replicated in marginals across the land...well, you never know.

The some of My friends are Jewish defence doesn't sound good.

The issue Labour have is of course that over the past two years there has been a constant narrative form a minority's but very vocal groupie sub members

Criticism of Israel/anti-Jewish sentiment...well, they are arguably very separate topics but they have been welded together recently by some who stand to gain from it.

One is racist talk and one is not.

But the Star of David as a Jewish totem has been in existence for far longer than the modern state of Israel which has been objected to. Which is another characteristic that the left and islamist terrorists share.

May is going to walk it. Clear majority that will be called a Landslide, but won't resemble the landslide of 1998. They'll more or less do as well as the last time Cameron stood.

UKIP will be slaughtered, but claim victory with the Brexit result. Cue infighting and a return to being a side line show.

Greens - 2 MPs.

Lib Dems modest improvement.

Labour will surprise many by not being humiliated, but they will call it a humiliation none the less. They'll have a leadership election, and Corbyn will still win it.

I hope not, I think the Greens, and particularly Caroline Lucas, are even madder than Corbyn's Labour and the Liberals.

Probable.

Election night is worth watching if for nothing other than seeing what shade of this comes out.

Y Ddraig Goch Flag In The Crowd 06 Jun 17 7.50pm

If May does get an increased majority, I actually think she will be more centrist than some people think.

I think she is trying to readdress some imbalances eg triple lock,but is making a right horlicks of it.

If she does win, hopefully the likes of Hunt will disappear

Yuk...what a choice!

How about Palace win the Premiership and I get to shag all the Crystals?

Yeah, that one sounds a lot better.
