I am expecting a low turn out, that in itself could throw up all sorts of election surprises in marginal seats! Postal vote doesn't take any time
Who you voting for?

Conservatives- A majority would see them get us out with a pretty mediocre deal but would see them have the UK on strong footing for the next election in 2025. But they won't get a majority as the anti-Boris smear campaign is already working.
Labour- A sensible plan in theory, a fresh deal and vote. In practice it makes no sense at all when they wouldn't even back their own deal vs. remain and there would still not be a majority for anything. If the Lib-dems get all the student votes which Corbyn 'bought' with the promise of abolishing tuition fees last time, they could get annihilated.
Lib-dems- I've been waiting all my life for 2 main political events. A Lib-dem government and for the UK to leave the EU. I need to be a glass-half-full kinda person.
Brexit party- There existence could well stop us leaving. Quite a conundrum for anyone wishing to see us leave.
SNP- A party of such vitriol and racism would be banned and / or deplored anywhere else.
DUP- It will be interesting to see how they are judged to have played the strongest hand they will probably ever be dealt.
Independents- I don't like the party political system as it makes it virtually impossible for an independent to get elected. Unless of course they are a 'celebrity' which should not generally be encouraged. I bet Eddie Izzard gets elected. He is an amazing, clever, and strong individual for whom I have great admiration but he will make the most fecking useless MP.
Plaid Cymru- I think they'd get my vote if I was Welsh.
Green Party- Due to the apparent 'climate emergency', do they become one of the main parties in the future or do they become obsolete with everyone now needing to have a green agenda....
Obviously I'm yet to decide. I am sure/ disappointed I don't have the opportunity to not vote SNP.

I share this view. I feel the only real options are Labour or Conservative. In an ideal world, I would like to say to the EU, "So terribly sorry for all the trouble, can we just make up and stay together?". I feel like Labour are the only genuine option for this but I couldn't bare living in a Corbyn-led UK so I am willing to leave the EU under Boris.
If Corbyn gets in, I will emigrate - providing I can sell or rent my house!!

Not that I would condone it but I would not be too surprised to hear Corbyn had become the first assassinated British Prime Minister!
Its between conservative and libs down here with a con mp at the moment
Not keen on our mp but couldn't vote for a party that just ignores a vote cos it don't like it, will wait and see who the candidates are but most likely be con, disappointed with the libs to be honest

To be honest, I think someone bursting a crisp packet in his close vicinity would do.

I will vote conservatives. A majority for them is the only way Brexit will ever get done and ironically it is the Brexit party that could stop that by splitting the votes. Hopefully they will form a pact to avoid that as otherwise the coalition of the other parties that might take power would make the chaos we have at the moment look normal.

Unionist of some description, depends if there are unionist pacts etc. Though West Tyrone will be won by the political wing of the IRA.

Make that 8!
I was in the bank queue on Thursday waiting to pay in, and I noticed that the gentleman being served was an illustrious standing member for a local constituency.
He became briefly famous a few months ago for falling asleep in front of the cameras during a parliamentary debate, but this time the conversation went like this: "I'm here for my meeting with your advisor, We arranged it for 3pm! I have driven all the way into town, just for this"
'I'm terribly sorry sir, there seems to have been a mix up. We have no record of the appointment.'
"It was definitely 3pm. look, I have the letter!"
'Let's see sir......Well this letter is from Santander and we are the HSBC! I believe there is a branch along the High Street sir.'
"Ah, so it is! I might just make it in time!"
Exit said MP with a crowd of bemused onlookers.
Our future is safe in their hands

You didn't add 'None of the Above' !!
As much as the Conservatives think they are going to walk it.........deja vu............... the Brexit party may deflate their boat. We certainly don't want another hung parliament.

My choice is simple, DUP or no MP. I'll vote DUP.
