NigelFargate   10 #2 Posted May 17, 2017 I predict that the labour party will win all of these seats, apart from Hallam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
panzer1 Â Â 10 #3 Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Liberal manifesto has some really daft ideas but the one that takes the biscuit is banning all new diesel cars and vans, people have the choice already so why interfere.

1978 Â Â 14 #5 Posted May 17, 2017 I predict that the labour party will win all of these seats, apart from Hallam. Â Hallam was close to going Labour in 2015 but until 1997 it was consistently Tory, last represented by Irvine Patnick and ousted by LibDem Richard Allan. (From 1959-1983 John Osborn got about 50-60% of the poll.) Â Clegg should win again, but it will be interesting to see if Tory Ian Walker can make up much ground. With only 13.6% in 2015 it seems unlikely he will be winning in what so recently was their most fertile corner of South Yorkshire. Â Oliver Coppard put up a really strong fight for Labour last time round but recently got a new job and is sitting this election out.

panzer1 Â Â 10 #6 Posted May 18, 2017 3 voters in my house covered by penistone and Stockbridge. We are switching from UKIP to Tory, not a thing appeals to us about labour. With a majority of around 6000 and 10000 ukip voters last time and 12000 Tory votes, if enough change over then they may do it .

Waco Kid   10 #7 Posted May 18, 2017 Interesting to note that the Sheffield constituencies above represent five out of the six constituencies nationwide that the rump SDP is contesting.  According to Wikipedia it's a successor to the party founded by the Gang of Four in the 80s but somehow it's drifted to a hard anti-Europe stance!

Saves me looking them up. Am trying to decide who to waste my vote on. I might have been tempted by the Yorkshire Party, but they're not standing in my area.  ---------- Post added 18-05-2017 at 12:16 ----------  I understand that the Tories sent a letter to all those voters they deemed likely to vote Tory and told them to vote Lib Dem which they're unlikely to do this time around.

max   13 #11 Posted May 18, 2017 Very odd thing to do.  When you look at the result you can understand why the Tories were worried that Labour would take the seat rather than their coalition friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hairyloon   10 #12 Posted May 18, 2017 When you look at the result you can understand why the Tories were worried that Labour would take the seat rather than their coalition friend.  But that was before the Labour Party imploded: they surely don't have much chance there now.
