I find that hard to imagine, but that is clearly what is being forecast. Let's see. The silent majority will have their say. Remainers can march around London and post on Facebook as much as they want. Leavers will silently judge them and then make their voice heard at the polling stations as they did in 2016.

Their policy is incoherent. The shadow cabinet is an embarrassment. McDonnell and Abbott and Thornberry ? What a sheeitshow. If Johnson gets a massive majority then Parliament will follow him. Simple as that. Regsrdless of the majority, if Boris breaks the central tenet of his campaign Parliament will not follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They promised to leave to try and hoover up the leave vote. Then voted against it in HOC. But it doesn't matter now. Their mask has slipped and the Brexit party will stand against the Labour MP's in leave seats. They're gonna get mullered. Well the ones that dont bottle it and resign beforehand anyway.
