I dont think that will change her arrogant attitude to the electorate (especially Scotland), but it takes from her, her claim to speak for all in Brexit negotiations, but a bad deal (which appears certain), will be hers, and her Tory party, alone.<br />I have always thought she was out of her depth, but that was OK if she had competent Ministers around her; but the opposite is the case.gavinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-73236172735818845442017-05-27T07:58:53.172+01:002017-05-27T07:58:53.172+01:00How the hell do you expect to attract Labour voter...How the hell do you expect to attract Labour voters if you talk about shooting them?

They had Tories up 1.5 two weeks out. So pretty accurate. What they do is piggyback these questions onto other surveys. So you may get called and promised $5.00 for answering twenty questions about banking, insurances and whether you find flossing easy. Do you own a car? Take the tram? Oh, by the way, are voting?

It doesn't make any difference to the conservative majority if every MP in Scotland is SNP or Labour.<br /> It makes a difference as to how Scotland is treated. Which is why every labour voter in this election should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Or shot before they can vote.

Labour need to be hitting 39% or more to pull off a win in some way. At these high levels of voter polarisation, the Lib Dem and UKIP votes are almost meaningless until they hit 15-20% - something I'm not sensing is likely.<br /><br />Does that sound right or am I missing something?<br /><br />DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
