I considered to but can't until i leave labour / membership ends, I've canned my direct debit but i have to phone someone to cancel and i really don't like talking to people in the phoenix so I'm holding off until the 6 month auto cancel for not paying.

I don't know what Sean O'Grady is smoking but it's damned strong stuff,

The truth is that if you want a soft Brexit, you need to vote for Theresa May
It’s not the rest of the country who May wants control over, but the strident backbenchers who want a super-hard Brexit and would destroy her government if they had the chance. She obviously can’t tell us the truth about that, so she has to go on about mandates and negotiations

I don't believe though because may is an evil hateful heartless banana split.

That's the thing, I'll bet there is going to be some proper evil gooseberry fool in the Tory manifesto that will be ignored during election because of Brexit hogging the debate.

And the Tory Manifesto isn't coming for another fortnight, leaving barely 3-4 weeks for it to be analysed/digested before the country goes to the polls.

77% Labour
67% Lib Dem

It'll take a hell of a lot of work from Labour and Corbyn this campaign for me to go along with that.

Mine:

70% Labour
68% Liberal Democrats
55% SNP
55% Green
48% Plaid Cymru
42% Conservatives
37% UKIP
36% Sinn Fein
24% DUP
21% BNP

"Your political beliefs would be considered moderately Left-Wing on an ideological scale, meaning you tend to support policies that promote social and economic equality."

Makes sense to me. I vote Alliance here in Northern Ireland (no Labour or Liberal Democrats candidates), but they have a lot in common with the Lib Dems. The two most popular Northern Irish parties are in my bottom 3 with the BNP, typical :P

Folk see the EP president has said we can stop Brexit whenever if we want to? Hopefully our poll here is replicated nationwide, fat chance
