Are there any candidates who live In Sheffield or indeed from here ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

*_ash_* 88 #975 Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) 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. https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/british-politics 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?

Pettytom 1 #978 Posted December 10, 2019 6 minutes ago, CaptainSwing said: 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Flanker7 20 #981 Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) 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”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/11/wednesday-briefing-scramble-to-finish-line-in-final-day-of-campaign https://www.thepaperboy.com/uk/front-pages.cfm Edited December 11, 2019 by Flanker7 Tidying up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So my vote as useless as always. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
