While we do not get many polls outside of Northern Ireland very often, the most recent polling that I can find has the Alliance Party making gains while the other parties are remaining stagnant. That may put Belfast East and Belfast North in play. Also, while I wouldn't bet on it, can the UUP or SDLP steal a constituency away from the DUP or SF respectively? An SDLP MP would raise the threshold for a majority while a UUP MP would be a bit of a wildcard on how they would vote when it comes to Brexit.

If there is a 2nd referendum and Remain wins 52-48 I wonder if the Remainers will say there should be another referendum on that because the vote was too close.

No Remainer has called for there to be another referendum on the basis that the last one was too close, & disingenuousness aside, I think you know that.

If Remain wisn a 2nd referendum , Brexiters will have all the rights in the world to expect a third one.


In 2016 I was a Remainer(though not solidly just leaned towards it) , now I am a complete and total Brexiter  . So my rankings for the parties for this election would be


1. Tories
2. Brexit(In districts where they have a better chance of winning than the Tories)
3. Lib Dems
4. Labour

You know that Labour has maintained the position that they will follow the referendum result (albeit with a final deal put to the people) while Lib Dems have been full-on anti-Brexit, right?


I know but Jermey Corbyn cannot be PM under any circumstances.

I know that Boris Johnson returning to No. 10 may very well lead to the dissolution of the United Kingdom so I would argue that Johnson should not remain as PM under any circumstances.

I am no fan of Jeremy Corbyn and I despise the SNP, but if I were a British voter, the integrity of the union should be the first priority. A hard Brexit (something that the public certainly did not vote for) would threaten the very existence of the United Kingdom—if we have to stomach Corbyn in No. 10 with the support of the SNP to remain or get a soft Brexit, then so be it. The union would then be (somewhat) safe. It's deliciously ironic that the SNP joining the government or giving confidence to a Labour-led government may very well end up preserving the union that they so foolishly hate.
