So lets bang in a poll and see how split we are!! Tactical voting is going to be huge this time IMHO.
Given the yellows forum is clearly the intellectual elite of the UK, maybe they'll use the results of this poll as the as the official outcome and not bother with the election.
Only if my side doesn't win. Otherwise it's not fair. ?Do we get the chance to have another vote if my side doesn't win?
I know your comment was tongue in cheek, but I suspect it is rather white, male dominated to be a “realistic barometer”.Surprisingly it often provides a very realistic barometer of the UK as it attracts such an eclectic mix of folk united by one thing.... if I was a pollster I would just look on here myself.

The problem with this election is that it is going to be a de facto referendum on Brexit, but with even LESS clarity than there was first time around!
If you vote for the Tories, are you voting for the deal Johnson has 'negotiated' or for the no-deal he seems to want? If you want a no-deal should you be voting for the Brexit party? If you think the country needs a change from the Eton old boy network, should you be voting for Labour - even if they are themselves an absolute mess with a leader with as much get up and go as last months left-overs? If you vote for Labour - are they pro or anti Brexit? Or do you think the whole Brexit thing was a stupid mistake, vote for the LibDems/Greens and hope that enough other people do the same in this first past the post partial democracy to make that a meaningful rather than wasted vote? Or do you just hide until the whole sorry mess has gone away?
And which party actually wants to be in charge during this complete clusterf**k and it's following effects?
Personally I'll be voting for Plaid Cymru - I just hope they put up a condidate in leafy North Bedfordshire!
Isn't that an argument for making sure that the NHS become more 'business savvy' and efficient rather than just letting US companies take advantage of their incompetence?@BristolOx the NHS has zero business accumen, that is the core problem. It would swallow all the money that is thrown at it.

So you agree that the NHS is a success in it's drug sourcing? After all (same link) "one of Trump’s closest allies, Republican congressman Mark Meadows who says that drug pricing has to be on the table in any trade deal with the UK. “It needs to be part of the negotiations …my aim is to have pharmaceutical negotiations being part of any international negotiation. Why should an American patient have to pay a thousand dollars for a drug when other countries can buy the same drugs at a fraction of the cost?” "
By the way I'm talking about pricing and the ability of the NHS to buy what drugs it likes from whom it likes in order to manage the prices it pays. Whether that partly exists because of it's research and assistance it provides is beside the point when it's cost-effective. Pretty unimpressive effort to change the subject with the blood tests, though - systems normal at your end.
Do we get the chance to have another vote if my side doesn't win?
You might want to look into who thought it would be a good idea to cover blocks of flats in cladding and at the same time removed the need for the fire brigade to complete an annual fire inspection of the same buildings. Just saying.Sharing this (below) which is doing the rounds on social media following Grenfell tower disaster chief Fire officers impending retirement ( and the fire officers being 'blamed' by some for the Grenfell disaster!!!) .....
JUST REMEMBER WHEN YOU VOTE.
In 2013 Boris Johnson was the Mayor of London he was responsible for closing 10 London fire stations, axeing 14 fire engines and removing 550 firefighter jobs including vital fire safety inspectors. His response to being accused by members of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority of lying over the consequences of the cuts was “oh get stuffed”. On the 14th June 2017 a fire engulfed Grenfell Tower and 72 people died, and now the Tories are blaming the fire fighters!

ah yes thatll be the Kensigton and Chelsea borough tory councilYou might want to look into who thought it would be a good idea to cover blocks of flats in cladding and at the same time removed the need for the fire brigade to complete an annual fire inspection of the same buildings. Just saying.
Having searched, I cannot find anything that corroborates this in the inquiry.Sharing this (below) which is doing the rounds on social media following Grenfell tower disaster chief Fire officers impending retirement ( and the fire officers being 'blamed' by some for the Grenfell disaster!!!) .....

The second part of the inquiry is yet to be finished and will, no doubt, apportion blame for the fire on the cladding used. The fire service had no experience or relative training to deal with this scenario. That is a failing but, not evidence that the Tories are to blame.
However, no doubt some will wish to use this as a political whip, unfairly and very cynical in motive.
With a little bit of help from a tory with a red tie....ah yes thatll be the Kensigton and Chelsea borough tory council![]()
Blimey! , Is Blair standing in the forthcoming election now i thought he was swerving his responsibililities of involvement in war crimes?With a little bit of help from a tory with a red tie....

Grenfell Tower fire: was Tory austerity to blame or do problems date back to Blair?
Jeremy Corbyn has linked tragedy to Conservative spending cuts but PM says matter has arisen after decades of neglectwww.theguardian.com
I wonder who would be more unpopular, Blair or Corbyn? I think Blair is made of teflon so should be okay. Much as i think Boris is a f*****g idiot I think there are many others in front of him in the queue of blame for Grenfell, its a long queue though.Blimey! , Is Blair standing in the forthcoming election now i thought he was swerving his responsibililities of involvement in war crimes?....the former mayor of london is however, as PM, bidding to increase his minority governments seats in the forthcoming election
Snapshot at 13.00 on Wednesday 30th. Forum poll; Tories (both sub-groups together) 31%, Labour 16%, LibDems 41%. External polling suggests Tories to win a 58 seat majority though.
