    That strategy has worked spectacularly well for the thus far.

    Also it's weird seeing half a conversation. I can probably guess who the [to me] muted side of it is. Which leads me to -

    'No-one listens to us any more' bleat the tories 'not one engages in debate'...

    That's because you've spent the last 14 years spouting demonstrable and verifiable bollocks. No one will listen or engage because you've demonstrated that you are not worth listening to or engaging with. You are just spouters of irritating noise.

    My local reform “candidate” just got outed as a former BNP member.

    Looks like the best and brightest, scraped from the bottom of the barrel to fill the all those voting slips for Reform.

    The Lib Dems are the party most likely to keep the Tory out here so, I will be voting with the recommendation, although my decision was already made before I looked at that site. This site is useful https://stopthetories.vote/

    This should cheer you up then - the other side of the family is from the Island, so the eldest has kept the flame burning with a commitment to Duolingo.

    Separately amusing was the fact that the missus couldn't spell her own village name but I could (mainly because I practised it a lot in order to get one of the locals to go on a date with me. Obviously that didn't work but it did leave me with a useful skill. And a missus).

    re-did the survey using the "full" options; and got this:

    Interesting that its evolved from a 3-way split for Green, Lib Dem and Labour to a much more nuanced look. Made me realise that some policy areas i understand more than others!

    I chose the person whose address is in the same general area as me, via postal vote. Their party happen to be 1 out of 2 that lines up with result of my policy survey, which looks extremely similar to the above post.

    Will be voting tactically using online guidance. That candidate came to my house the other week and I was interested to talk to him. We could be in for an unheard change of colour in a True Blue Blue Rinse town!

    Same, most polls where i am still show its one of the few areas that the Tories might hold, so any vote that isnt for Labour, is just another vote for the Tories

    Same here too. The Labour candidate is within 2 points of a the Tory, in a seat that's been blue sicne it's inception, as well as blue for over a century in it's previous boundaries. 2 points here is 1500 people, dare I dream?

    This was the most likely possibility in my list of options, however;

    https://www.getvoting.org/constituency/E14001579
    https://stopthetories.vote/parl/west-worcestershire
    Between the 2 resources which appear on this thread no main party is bothering with targeting our constituency and it's a crap shoot

    For the lulz I went back and answered all areas...

    Yeah, still no surprise, and I'm still not gonna vote for any of them :grin:

    My Labour MP seems to have an outright allergic reaction to the Welsh language or further transfer of power to the Senedd. However… when the patient is bleeding to death, the best course of action is to stop the bleeding before you try and fix their broken arm.

    The Tories need to go; I’ll worry about Welsh politics in the next round of Senedd elections.

    This is basically where i am, where some polls show the gap as being LESS than 100 votes, a couple do show labour winning by a few votes, a few show conservatives winning by a few, so the way i see it is that any vote that isnt Labour is just helping the Tories cling to power like a turd that just wont flush

    id love to vote Greens, even the Lib Dems have some good points, but they are not in a position realistically to win my local seat, and i also view their manifestos with a pinch of salt because everyone knows they are not going to have to deliver on their promises, so they can promise well above what they will be able to Achieve

    I’ve got some more succinct ways to sum him up, they only need a single word. But they wouldn’t get past the family friendly filters.

    Proof that private schools provide an expensive education, not [always] a good one.

    Out of interest (and I'm showing my lack of knowledge here as always), is there some rule somewhere that says "If you promise this in your election run up and don't deliver when you win, then you're culpable"?

    Other than everyone going "Well, that's not cricket," and voting for the next party next time. Again.
