Game changer move by Farage although I suspect more forced upon him than a positive choice. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

Not a 'game changer' forgotten in a day or two. There was no brexit party in 2017 when Corbyn ran the tories close. Farage looks defeated. Probably money, not enough of other peoples.

I'm pretty sure that the Tories will land with their 320 seats and Farage will mop up around 20. That's easily enough for them steam roller through whatever they want. No-one is going to stop them

Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger Nige needs to batter Labour in the marginals. Let's hope he succeeds. He'll need to make sure he doesn't split the vote in Labour marginals. I predicted this at the start of the election. I think they will focus on Labour strong holds. If Lib-dem/PC campaign for remain in Wales they are unlikely to take many votes from Labour. The Brexit party could do well here. Similarly, it could happen in the north of England in places wherenl the Tories dont stand a chance. This is all assuming that Brexit will be the main issue on voters minds come polling day.

Originally posted by chris123 You can get 14/1 on Labour now - so the market looks certain, I'm taking nothing for granted. The manifestos have not been published, the campaign is only in it's infancy with over 4 weeks until Polling Day. Could be a great deal of volatility with tactical voting, the splitting of the leave and remain votes etc etc so I don't see the result as a foregone conclusion at this stage.
