Tonight: Times/YouGov regular weekly poll shows 3pt Tory lead. (Poll different to YouGov model but Tory lead same)

It's like watching Offaly in the 94 hurling final

With Corbyn like Billy Dooley, bolloxed, but the ball falling at his feet to puck over the bar for easy points

As has been said before these polls are a bit misleading and in reality the Tories will safely have their majority but make no mistake they've taken a right kicking in this campaign Teresa May is experiencing the complete opposite of what she and the rest of the Tory's expected when calling the election!!

On Sinn Fein Saffrongael has hit the nail on the head. . . maybe some of you lads need to read a few books to understand the workings of democracy! If what you're saying is true then what's the point in voting for anything at all??!!

Arlene wants to go back to the demographics of the 50s

Foster said, for her, the most important issue at the forthcoming election "is not devolution but the union itself".
She called on all unionists to rise to the challenge from Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and put a border poll off the agenda for generations.
"Sinn Fein want to use this election as a precursor to a border poll," she said. "Gerry Adams has declared that this election will be a barometer on Irish Unity.
"Let us rise to that challenge and seek to ensure that unionism still returns a majority of unionist MPs to Westminster and puts the notion of a divisive and destabilising border poll off the agenda for generations to come."
This is exactly the issue I have with Unionism. Everything on their terms and the only legitimate culture and ideology in NI is a unionist one.

So the stoops are castigating the shinners for being absentionist. Better for a nationalist to swear allegiance to the Queen. They are a bit like the DUP in supposing that SF voters actually give a toss about the British parliament.

Well then what's the point in them standing for the election anyway it's a wasted vote??!! Sinn Fein need to go to Westminster and represent the people who put them there not sit on their hands!

They've moved on in a lot of ways but in this they are stuck in the 60's!!

What benefit would it be to SF or us in NI if they were to take their seats ... SNP have over 50 MPs and look how much notice is taken of them  ::)

The yapping by all the other parties (and disgracefully the SDLP) that SF dont "stand up for us" in parliament is ludicrous !!
They don't. SF could have voted against Article 50. They didn't

There was a majority of 45 MPs for it. How would have made a blind bit of difference?

Sure why did anyone vote against it then? Some strange ideas of democracy on this board

Hmm, nice point but totally irrelevant in this case ... Pointing out the fundamentals of democracy is all fine and well but we're talking about actually making a difference here .. i.e. Would SF votes have changed "anything" ... and the answer is a clear and concise "NO" ... they would not have matter one iota .. but please let me know if I am wrong here ?

What do you mean? ....... I doubt there's too many young people in the top 5% of earners ...

This is the problem with politics, when you get an "honest" man,  people either dont listen to what he says or they dont believe what he says .. which is it with you ?

Saffrongael

Lost a lot of respect for Corbyn when he did that "no seats" on train stunt, so showed how much of a man of the people he was by sitting on the floor between carriages.
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

The poor man is a puppet operated by Seumas Milne in cahoots with McDonnell.  This obviously a stunt enacted by Milne.
