Labour have moved to a largely Remain stance now so pro-No Deal voters were already lost.

Never ever Tory.
Lib Dems still unclean from the coalition.
Labour the only choice.
Bear in mind that in 2017, the RailUK poll leaned more towards Labour and the Lib Dems than the actual result
Party / RailUK / National result
Cons - 21% / 42%
Labour - 50% / 40%
Lib Dems - 17% / 7%
SNP - 3% / 3%
Nearly a year off voting age!
Surprised there is no votes on spoiled ballot, given the current state of UK politics...
and yet Corbyn is such a great guy with absolutely no skeletons in his closet!
I guess at this current time, it's about voting for the least worst party (which can vary from person to person).If my current MP (who I like) was standing again I'd vote Labour, but as he's standing down, I'm planning to spoil my ballot paper.
I don't really feel enthusiastic voting Labour at the moment and there's no other party (except maybe the Green Party) I'd even consider voting for.
I think the fundamental problem with a Corbyn government will be the same as with the present shower i.e. the most vital decisions will be made by the shadowy unelected 'powers behind the throne' and the Cabinet will overwhelmingly be filled with 'loyalists' who'll do and say anything that keeps them in a job. The best that could be hoped for would be that John McDonnell might be permitted to oust Corbyn, because he's an intelligent guy with a good command of economics (which is partly why he and Cuddly Ken Livingstone fell out so dramatically during Labour's GLC days) and, by-the-by, would probably be decisive about the anti-semites, with whom he has no truck as far as I can tell.I did and i'm in complete agreement, this is the General Discussion area after all. It's a strange concept that you don't want people to expand an opinion on a discussion forum because it isn't about trains.
He will be a disaster because everything he ever proposes is completely unrealistic and will inevitably drag us further down.

I'm not criticising your choice of party here (although I don't recall ever voting Conservative) but I am always intrigued when someone says they 'Always will' vote for a particular political party. 'Generally will', I can understand and even 'Have always' but the absolute nature of voting for a political party feels somehow a waste.Said many times before I’d never vote Labour as long as I’ve air in my lungs & blood flowing through my veins.
Always voted conservative.
Always will.
Couldn’t stand Blair, still makes my guts turn when I see him.
Ditto Gordon Brown.
As for Corbyn, I’m not saying what I think of him as I’ll be banned & or locked up!!!
There is talk of a pact so that only one of LibDem, Green and TIG stands in each constituency as a "unite for remain" candidate. Unfortunately Labour seems unwilling to join to make it a true anti-Tory pact and the others are probably unwilling to trust them. I hope the remain parties won't put up even a nominal candidate in seats where the Labour candidate has the best chance of beating the Tory and is strongly pro-remain.I would be surprised if Change UK/TIG hold any of their seats and even more surprised if they get anyone out to campaign for them.

Still technically "potential" : he said he's tabling a motion as per the Fixed Term Parliaments Act, so he needs two thirds of the house to vote for it.No longer potential - the government lost tonight's vote and Johnson has tabled a motion calling for a snap General Election.

Why do you think a Remain Alliance would be successful?I voted Labour in 2017, however personally I now prioritise stopping Brexit over the reformative policies Corbyn is offering. If Corbyn stood on a full second referendum and remain platform I would support him. It's the Lib Dems or Greens now for me, depending on who is likely to get a higher vote in my constituency. I would only vote Labour as part of a full Remain Alliance.
Three (or was it four?) opposition party leaders said in reply that they wanted to pass their EU bill first, then have an election. So they'll probably vote down tomorrow's motion.True, but are they likely to oppose it?
