General Discussion
I've got two strong arms...
We all want to change the world, Indy Scot. But going for the man instead of the ball (and in the interests of gender equality, elsewhere on this site, for the woman) will achieve nothing except to further the cause of the right-wing Conservatives. Still that seems to be the mantra of the idealogues of Labour and the left: Conservatives out - but first let's get rid of those pesky Lib Dems.
With ominous storm clouds building up by the day Burneside, it won't be just those many people who want a socially and economically acceptable deal that will be disappointed.
You will get Brexit even if you vote for Labour.

And while there were much closer calls both ways for the Conservatives and the Lib Dems today, the figures for the incumbent in Dawlish was considerably flattered by the collapse in the UKIP vote (from 1094 > 300). Looks like those who support UKIP have found a new home for their vote in the ...
