    Feeding it back to who ?

    What your saying is just a load of anecdotal nonsense. A bunch of Chinese whispers.

    Are you knocking on doors or campaigning ? Cause if not your understanding of the term insight is about as flimsy as your understanding of evidence.

    Polls, because of the time lag, don't pick up a late trend in elections. Those on the doorsteps each evening do. One can see what Tories are doing, esp with Boris out this evening talking tripe. It may be making a slight inroad in that specific older demographic, who might otherwise have stayed at home.

    Are the LibDems even putting any resources into that many seats?

    Hahaha you cannot help but laugh that Sunak is so desperate he effectively sold his soul to the Devil and brought back Boris.

    What world is Sunak and the Tories on that they think the general public want anything to do with Boris, he's a large part of the reason of their hatred for the Tories

    If you told me Sunak had money on the Tories getting wiped out it would make this campaign make a lot more sense.

    It's sheer desperation though : Johnson is one of the main reasons the Conservatives are so hated right now. A lot of the former Tory votes are going to go to Reform.

    I see a couple of polls in the last few days have knocked the lead down from 20% to 15%. I know its only 2 polls but we are at the stage where people who dont follow politics like us nerds start looking for information. The Tories have given up trying to win and now those that are sent to the TV , and the Tory papers, are spinning the Socialist Super-majority / One-party-socialist-state narrative.

    Its the point in the campaign when you decide on a core message and keep hammering it out . I can certainly believe, after listening to vox-pops and interviews with regular voters, that these bullet points are cutting through, because they are being regurgitated.

    I find it amazing that people can base their opinions of a political party on what they are told by an opposing party, or the papers that support the opposing party.

    Maybe its just laziness , so they can have an opinion they can then proceed to pontificate on, down the pub.

    Not so sure. Boris might well attract some voters back from Reform, but overall I agree it will cost them votes.
