Poll percentage does not relate to seats won.
SNP on about 4% of total UK vote but look like returning 45 seats.
It is still going to be close about 10 seats either way IMVHO.

If the Tories get 45% and Labour only get 28%, Boris will have a 100+ seat majority. It may still be close of course as it's only an opinion poll, no guarantee that's what the vote will be, but my point was if that IS the way the nation votes on the 12th Dec, it will NOT be close, it will be a Boris landslide.

Brexit party will take votes from the Tories in marginals.
Anti Tory alliance of the other parties should make it close.
I also expect Labour to close substantially on the Tories

It is free at the point of use which means that people who are ill and cannot afford treatment get the same treatment as people who are extremely rich and could afford to pay for the treatment they receive but choose not to.
Seems reasonable to me or do you think the rich folk are being unreasonable and we should just let the poor folk die.

Two reasons your post is wrong.

Extremely rich people dont tend to use the NHS for medical treatment although they pay for it.

The highest earning 1% in the UK pay 28% of all income tax.

Feel free to make whatever predictions you like, I'll stick to tracking the opinion polls for the time being and post about what they're showing when I think they are of interest.

Not expecting you to, you have set your stall out.
Problem is you just regurgitate the Tory rags .. without consideration and then think it’s unreasonable to have some point out that your man is not a first choice.
Not read a compelling argument or point worth noting on this matter from you, just your attempt at winding and fire starting.

I dont think you'd ever accept "my stall" if I set it out.

NHS is gonna cost £139 Billion next year. Hardly free is it?... I know folk North of the border are keen on freebies but these things do actually cost real money.

So Boris is guilty until proven Innocent- very Christian 😣

Johnson is guilty of what? (Met) Police Examine Farage claims of Tory bribes - according to my ST. No mention of Johnson being involved - none at all, nothing to do with him.

Johnson is guilty of plenty, but as you are concerned about how Christians might view him - well they would forgive him - though their forgiveness does not absolve him of his guilt. Since you asked.

Develi's Advocate post. Tory supporting rags post lies and, shock, so do the Labour supporting rags. Thank God for The Guardian...;)

Is there any media outlet without bias? Oh, I forgot about LBC...:ROFLMAO:

Not what I have read so far no, but in the end I don’t really care for your opinion. It saddens me that my grandparents gave their lives to stop this form of politics.

Quite possibly the most pretentious and pompous post I have ever read, and trust me there has been some competition.

If you truly think that any of the views expressed on here have anything in common with the practices and policies of extreme regimes led by the likes of Hitler and Stalin then you have problems.

True ... but how many Tory rags are there and how many are owned by the same person?
