One reason that the Brexit vote succeeded was because the advance polls were showing that "Remain" would win and too many eedjits either sat at home and didn't vote or stupidly voted to "Leave" as a protest vote against their party leaders rotten policies. They obviously did not make the connection that however POed they are/were with their party leaders, forfeiting EU membership is a dreadful consequence.

We must ensure that NO complacency exists in Nov so that our own best interests are not sabotaged. We must also ensure that everyone who wants to vote is properly registered and GOTV everywhere.

Don the Con would be a dreadful and unthinkable consequence of our complacency or personal snits.

So the short take is that neither would win right now? floriduck Jul 2016 #1
