Tories are fielding Hannah Westropp as thier candidate in my constituency of Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough, she doesn't live in Sheffield and rides the Belvoir Hunt, which says everything I need to know, not to vote for her.

 

keep this real beast out of Parliament, and those like her.

 

anyone who is intending to vote for her, please think twice,.

 

 

 

Are there any candidates who live In Sheffield or indeed from here ?.

No need really.

In fact looking at the odds page (wish I hadn't now)

 

but posted anyway as it's absolutely nailed my apathy (and avoidance) of this election, and voting in general.

These main bets are just regular odds that you expect, but if you starting clicking there are odds for everything!

 

Look how safe these seats are!

 

I could put £200 on Labour winning my seat (Hills&Br), and win £201.

Sheff Central - bet365 have at 1/300 ! (all the rest are same as above 1/200)

 

Hallam: LibDem 1/3 Labour 9/4 and Tory 18/1

 

Can any one here, see why my vote is useless?

I think they just put a token person in because they have to.

Labour are odds 1/200 to win this seat. So my vote as useless as always.

 

your vote is only useless if you fail to cast it

Wow, those are very generous odds!  It's an absolute certainty that Hallam will vote for the proverbial donkey in an orange rosette this time.

You are probably right, but Olivia Blake has run an impressive campaign.

 

I think she might get close.

That's why my vote is useless.

So Angel asked why people were quiet on a matter about labour, could ask why Angels quiet about the following

 

 

[Flanker7 20]

The headlines,   5-3 to the Conservatives with 2 score draws.

It was difficult today as many of the tops could be taken either way depending on your position. I balanced the 'i' with the 'The Times' as they were either side of the same coin. The Independant not on the Guardian list again.

 

The i goes with “Corbyn closes on Johnson as race tightens”

The Independant - "Child left waiting 57 hours for a bed in A&E. "

 The Mirror: “Johnson saw my son’s death not as a tragedy but as an opportunity”.

 

The Guardian – “Our collective humanity is being put on trial” “most important election in a generation”  

The FT says Boris Johnson is “ready to shake up overseas aid” if the Conservatives win.

 

The Telegraph declares Johnson would “get tough on serious criminals”.

The Times -  “Tory lead narrows ahead of final election rallies”

The Mail really pours it on: “Britain’s future down to the wire”.

The Express - Labour shadow minister said he “can’t stand” Jeremy Corbyn.

The Sun officially endorses the PM: “Boris ticks all the boxes”.

You're right I believe Ash.  Even if the Conservative candidate in this seat was squeaky clean, they wouldn't get in.   Apart from the huge traditional Labour vote, Brexit and Ukip are fielding candidates wich will split pro Brexit voters.

Free Internet has kind of swung it for me

 

If free beer was on the maifesto I'd definitely vote Labour 

 

But swaying towards labour

A vote is never useless, not voting is.
