General Election 2019

Never heard "überraschungsecht" before...and I am German too...

Not doubting its existence haha, don’t get me wrong

You don't sound very überraschungsecht. :)

voter registration numbers gone pretty loopy tonight

Dammit has mobilised his downstairs staff.

You promised not to call it that again.

Mighty staff, please.

This is starting to make me feel slightly optimistic.

Still waiting for my postal vote to turn up

Campaigner attacked

Did you get your polling card? Mine says should be out by 29th Nov.

Stat on the 2.6million newly registered voters, 1.86m are under 35 and that was PRE spike @6pm.

Fuck off the tories

The Stormzy effect?

Was the Brexit party political broadcast on all channels at tea time tonight....

Two attacks have been reported:

I think so. 50,000 in the hour following his Instagram post apparently.

It's bringing into focus the need for knockers for the election day - mobilising the vote on the day is a huge part of canvassing. Even if you can't do anything else, consider doing this.

So many stories about candidates, it seems (no idea if really more than normal).

Amazingscenes at the hutchings in Raab's constituency, he got an absolute mauling.

Looks like the Stormzy post translated into registrations. Around 350k! Mostly under 35s.

Good old Stormzy.

If I Spotify his music, will I need to hammer dildoes into my ears?

Highlights the failings of the left/ remain though. He'll retain his seat.

Locked out Harry Dunn's family also, I see. Fucking sniveling coward.

Shit like this: "Tory MP candidate caught getting friend to pose as anti-Labour swing voter, as party's disinformation campaign continues" (Independent)

How the fuck is this a thing you can legally do.

I'm voting in his constituency (assuming they send me the bloody papers on time) and although I doubt my vote will have much impact, I live in hope.

Have there ever been many 25000 majorities overturned?
Even the heady days of the SDP saw many 'heroic' defeats.
