The onanism of Gary Nuttall and of UKIP is actually bad news for Labour because it reduces the risk to the Tories that the pro-Brexit vote will be divided. The Conservative Party will be more attractive now as a home for rational and relatively liberal and centrist anti-EU ballots.

I think this election is fairly predictable after the electoral surprises of the last 2 years.
The Conservatives will win at least 50 more seats, perhaps up to 70/80 more depending on how many Tory/Labour marginals there are. Labour and UKIP will drop further back with Ukip being seen as having done its protest group job and Corbyn talking his way out of his... Labour will also suffer from Liberals going back to them after forgiving them for then broken promises of the coalition and a number of remainers going to them in the vain hope of a rematch over Brexit. Theresa May will have a clear path to the Brexit she wants-hopefully a hard one with Europe finally caving in because otherwise Germany will have to bear the brunt of the EU bill vacuum left by us...probably we'll have to continue some kind of subscription to the EU (at least half what we now pay) for access to the Euro markets without so much freedom of movement. Maybe then we'll have a health service and education service that can cope with the population and some jobs for the indigenous population rather than greedy entrepreneurs hiring Poles for less than the minimum wage and working 24/7. Who knew there were so many Poles over here? But that is non PC to say, a bit like suggesting the McCanns (both Drs) accidentally overdosed Madeline on sleeping pills....another can of worms... |

UKIP delivered the referendum, indirectly. But it can't deliver the actual exit from the EU that people are looking for. Furthermore Nuttall doesn't even have a hint of the charisma and appeal that Farage had, he already seems like damaged goods after that by-election he fought and this latest focus on muslim-bashing is just going to turn more people off, as you say. I'd considered jumping ship and joining UKIP at the time of the referendum (I'm a lifelong Conservative supporter and long-time member). I felt that Cameron had let me down by trying to sell that ridiculous 'deal' he'd got from the EU, and Theresa was after all a remainer. But I wouldn't dream of it now. |

By convention the Lords won't obstruct government measures that form part of their manifesto, if they have the electorate's rubber stamp on them. It may be that some shrewder remainers are thinking of voting Tory, because it might be that she needs a better working majority to get a softer Brexit past the Eurosceptics on the back benches. |

T. May called this snap general election in full knowledge that her party was/is streets ahead in the opinion polls and with an excellent chance of securing a huge majority. However, all the pro-Brexit rhetoric emanating from T. May is simply a façade. She is a pro-remainer, a globalist and a Freemason and she will do all she can to delay, obfuscate and water down Brexit to a 'Fudgexit'. I certainly do not trust T.May, but as with the recent US elections, her (and her party) are the least worst option.

I'm not quite so sure the result is such a foregone conclusion. I thik it partly depends on what "They" (N.W.O. etc.) want for Britain. Do they care one way or the other if we leave the EU? If not then the tories will prolly win, if they want us to stay in, then maybe a 'shock' result may be in order so that we end up staying in or the brexit is so soft we may as well havew stayed in.
So it would go "shock result" of referendum to make us think we are getting out and then "shock result" to show 'common sense prevails' and we never get another chance of leaving.
