The voting system used to appear to favour Labour, now it favours Tories, & more so on new boundaries

On new boundaries, Tories need to be 2 points ahead in share of vote for Commons majority, Lab need to be 13½ pts ahead

So now it's biased in the other direction.  How hard can it be to get something that is reasonably fair?

Go to Richmond every day....and many more Lib Dem "house signs" than Zac. Homes have been bombarded with Lib Dem literature....no doubt they will flood the area tomorrow to help get the vote out.
 Interesting to see how many labour vote tactically.
Still think Zac will hold it, personal vote etc.....but wouldn't be taking the 4/11 on offer today.

What are the odds that Theresa May slips in a jibe about Corbyn praising Fidel Castro at PMQs today? Nailed on surely.

Surely Corbyn just bats it back with the tories gushing praise of Pinochet at the time?

Think that would only fly it it was something she did personally, no idea if she did or not....

May can pick on any one of a number of terrorist causes Corbyn has allied with as well. Very likely to in the run up to the next election, in fact, as powder has very much been kept dry to date.

Other than the Cameron six times asking him to denounce Hamas, but yes it does seem like they are keeping it in reserve for the next election. I think Ed Balls will be in charge by then anyway.
