I was going to vote Plaid but they're apparently guaranteed one from Wales so it's recommended I vote Lib Dem, so I will.Anyone heard of this? https://www.remainvoter.com/
Some sort of App designed to tell you how to tactically vote most successfully. Unsure how reliable it is. For the NW it recommends Labour voters to vote Green, since they're apparently polling just below the level needed to gain a seat (I guess the Lib Dems must be further away from gaining a second MEP). I was all set to vote LibDem, now I'm not so sure - would rather vote Green anyway.
And people keep telling me that social media isn’t a blight on society....That's "Based Amy", one of the more prominent of the "Yellow Vesters" in the UK. She makes a living off of paypal donations by live streaming herself going to demonstrations and being obnoxious/confrontational and provoking reactions. Got thrown out of the Houses of Parliament recently and routinely, comically falls over when "pushed" by Police. Pro Trump, pro Brexit, climate change denying.. she does it all.

Sadly, she's not quite right in the head. 50+ times she's thrown herself into the sea and been fished out.
Scotland one recommends Lib Dem, although seems to primarily be because the only undecided seat will either go Lib Dem or Labour, and Labour's non-committal stance is obviously concerning from a Remain POV.I was going to vote Plaid but they're apparently guaranteed one from Wales so it's recommended I vote Lib Dem, so I will.
And the Brexit Party will be I assume....good one. "Vote for us because we might not even be a party in two months".
I'm voting Green i think, this vote is basically an opinion poll so I'm going with the two issues that matter to me CC and a second ref.
I can't think of a good reason to vote Labour in my area (East). Corbyn will get needless stick for the results but that certainly isn't a reason to vote for them.
Then he'd want a third referendum of course, or a fourth or a fifth until the result came out they way he wanted... what a world we live in?What if a 2nd ref was for leaving?
It's telling me to vote chUK, so really not sure about that.Anyone heard of this? https://www.remainvoter.com/

Same. Want to see their working out really, if it's based on weeks old polling then it's worthless.It's telling me to vote chUK, so really not sure about that.
Did he say that though?Then he'd want a third referendum of course, or a fourth or a fifth until the result came out they way he wanted... what a world we live in?
For all you know it's fishy... Who runs the site and how does it work?Same. Want to see their working out really, if it's based on weeks old polling then it's worthless.

Good to see some level-headed cooperation and compromise eh.Tweet

By me they are just stealing 4% of the vote off of the other remain parties. Oh well.Change UK for me, I suppose I can give it a go and let's see
You do know that when it looked likely that remain would win that Farage vowed to continue campaigning for another referendum.What if a 2nd ref was for leaving?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36306681There could be unstoppable demand for a re-run of the EU referendum if Remain wins by a narrow margin on 23 June, UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said.
It's pretty simple, but I'm unconvinced by their analysis and i'm not sure how often they update their pages. Basically they take the "latest" poll for a given area (if a breakdown is available) then work out the number of seats that goes to each party via the D'Hondt method (the method used in Euro elections).For all you know it's fishy... Who runs the site and how does it work?
Cheers mate, nice breakdownIt's pretty simple, but I'm unconvinced by their analysis and i'm not sure how often they update their pages. Basically they take the "latest" poll for a given area (if a breakdown is available) then work out the number of seats that goes to each party via the D'Hondt method (the method used in Euro elections).
To run you through an example, here's a guess for the North West based on this survey (conducted between 8th and 17th May so a bit elderly). According to that and using the D'Hondt method the breakdown of seats would be as follows:
Brexit Party: 32%, 16%, 10.7%, 8% = 3 seats
Labour: 22%, 11%, 7.3% = 2 seats
Lib Dems: 17%, 8.5% = 1 seats
Cons: 9%, 4.5% = 1 seat
Green: 9%, 4.5% = 1 seat
For D'Hondt method, you divide party support by 1,2,3,4 etc, then find the x highest number of votes (where x=amount of seats available)and allocate seats accordingly.
In this case there are eight seats, so the eight highest vote proportions receive them.
My reading of that poll is that remainers are in a bit of a pickle because they need two things to happen: They want the Greens to stay ahead of the Tories and they want the Lib Dems to sneak the eighth seat at the Tories' expense. That's not the same as remainvoter.com's analysis though; their analysis claims Labour is already in possession of 3 seats and that more folk need to vote green in order to nab the final one off the Tories.
Fortunately you can go to the breakdown tabs of your latest, favourite opinion poll and work it out for your own area in less than 5 minutes all by yourself. The only problem being (for them and for you) that some polls don't delineate by exact election area.
He won't acknowledge your answer.You do know that when it looked likely than remain would win that Farage vowed to continue campaigning
for another referendum.

Did he say that though?
He said he wanted remain or second referendum, why would he want a second referendum only if he disagreed with the outcome of the first
Maybe because he wants to find out what the rest of the country think in 2019? He can speak for himself but it confuses me why some people jump to the assumption that those wanting a 2nd ref only want it if they get their preferred result.
I'm beginning to think this site isn't particularly legit and wish I hadn't brought it to anyone's attention. The two areas where it recommends you vote Change UK are the South East and London. In London CHuk are polling at 4% in the latest Yougov and the final seat on offer currently requires at least 8.5% of the vote. Using the electoral method that's actually going to be used the LibDem's are far more likely to get a third seat (they're on 8%) than CHuk are to get their first. In actual fact per the yougov CHuk are the least likely remain party to pick up a further seat.Change UK for me, I suppose I can give it a go and let's see
No but it's amazing that a second referendum suddenly became undemocratic when the first one end up as leave even though the leave campaign were gearing up to campaign for another referendum if the vote went for remain.He won't acknowledge your answer.

tbh, I had planned to vote Liberal, as a confirmed remain party, although I am no fan of the LibDems, so I should probably stick with what I started with.I'm beginning to think this site isn't particularly legit and wish I hadn't brought it to anyone's attention.

All this kinda shit does is gain support for him. Retards.

How does it gain him support? You think there are people that don't support him and his cause that are thinking "I don't like what he stands for but all these milkshake attacks are making me change my mind"?This, and also I imagine the ones who find it funny now will find it all a whole lot less funny when the politicians they like end up on the receiving end, or when the milkshakes morph into other substances.. bodily excretions, bleach etc.
From people in the centre, yes, I could see it gaining him support. All it takes in one nutter to go from milkshake to acid. The left are moving further left, the right are moving further right. It's all a giant mess, a bit like Farage's suit.How does it gain him support?

I suggest anyone of that mindset right now in mid 2019, didn't need much to change their mind....
