What the parties should do, IMO - the Libs, Labour, the Greens, the SNP, even the Brexit party - they should get together under a coalition of electoral reform. Basically they do that, and that alone, keeping everything else as effectively the status quo, then they call an election. Then they can campaign for what they actually want.

Originally posted by Asura View PostThere's no point, though. While I don't want the Tories in, a government can't stand on just being against another party.
Now, I know it can't actually happen because they could never organise it.

Find out who’s ahead in the polls on the campaign’s final day. Over the last few weeks, Labour and the Tories have crept up at the expense of the Lib Dems and the Brexit party. But there is still enough variation in the polls that some are predicting a comfortable Conservative majority while others are pointing to a possible hung parliament
As we approach the 2 weeks marker, Labour could be starting to finally make some small in roads
With Opinium poll showing his lead narrowing, academics warn PM could need support of minority parties for Brexit deal
A new report says that if opposition parties can at least drag the Tories down enough before polling day to end up as a minority government then Johnson will likely have only one option left - call a Second Referendum

If there were two candidates, the best you could hope for is a hung parliament due to the way first past the post works with the consituency boundaries. There are more safe Tory seats than there are Labour.
Polls have narrowed a bit over the w/e, but the Tories still hold a fair margin but I'd imagine they're getting a bit worried that it's shrinking.

When you live in a world where the news headline is 'Boris Johnson ignore's families plea not to exploit victims deaths'...
He denies it yet today they've launched a new ad showing Johnson under the header Tough on Terrorists and Corbyn under Soft on Terrorists
Listened to LBC yesterday to hear the presenter all out dive in on the Tories saying they've been in power for 9 years and that that deaths on London Bridge rest at the Conservatives feet. The Tories issued a review of methods to better deal with terrorism and attacks in the UK which returned 69 recommendations, the Tories acknowledged 68 of them and to this day, years later, have implemented a grand total of zero. Basically, he said that they were playing a very dangerous electoral game in party politics by trying to exploit the attack to impress voters.
