Guess you'll be jumping for joy at COB on the telly then.

Corby 13.19 I thought the same .

"The less I see (and hear) of Farage, the happier I will be."

nobody forces you to read or see anything...

[youngmafbog]

To be fair to Gromit if you are interested in the debates and someone is on there you dislike but want to hear the rest it is a little difficult.

[gulliver1]

Agree with Gromit 13.21.

Not a Corbyn fan. I predict Labour will finish second and then Corbyn can be booted out, and hopefully Labour might elect someone better like Keir Starmer (not holding my breath).

[youngmafbog]

I know your not Gromit, I was being a bit devilish :-)

Personally I also want a strong opposition, whoever it is. One that does not just oppose for the sake of it but holds the Government of the day to account.

Sadly this has been lacking for some time(from both the major parties).

[Gromit]

I find Swinson very irritating too, the more I see of her the more likely I am of not voting LibDem.

// Brexit party will not contest 317 Tory-won seats //

The obvious flaw in that plan is that the majority of Conservative MPs elected in 2017 are Remainers.

[Spicerack]

Er, gromit. The Special Needs Party only contest 10% of the seats in Parliament and they're never off Question Time.

[Gromit]

SNP have a place on QT due to their 35 MPs.
They are the biggest party in Scotland and QT is a UK wide broadcast show.

[ToraToraTora]

sensible, after all, he want's brexit but also, will not want a CDI government so he's done the right thing.

[Mozz71]

And now, if the Tories win, Nige will insist it was because of his intervention, regardless of the truth. The man's cunning, that has to be said.

[gulliver1]

Farage and Johnson have a lot in common they are both two faced, Liars,Slimy, and very used to U turns

[Gromit]

The Brexit Party have just announced they will not be contesting the Brecon and Radnorshire seat held by the pro Remain LibDems.

Brecon is the only seat that the Brexit Party have fielded a candidate. They got a pathetic 3,331 votes in the recent by-election.

That’s another £500 deposit saved !!!

[Khandro]

Gromit; You sound a bit like you're whistling in the dark to keep up your spirits.

[Jackdaw33]

Brecon was the catalyst. Had the BP not stood the Tories would have won. Lessons have been learnt.

[Gromit]

// Brecon was the catalyst. Had the BP not stood the Tories would have won. Lessons have been learnt. //

The lesson hadn’t been learnt last week when Farage said he would contest 600 seats. Since then, Johnson called his bluff and Farage caved in.

//They are the biggest party in Scotland and QT is a UK wide broadcast show.//

Yes. But when QT is broadcast from Scotland the panellists are nearly always exclusively Scots. A similar situation when it is broadcast from Northern Ireland or Wales. When it is broadcast from England all manner of Scots, Welsh and Irish are invited.
