sorry if this is a dumb question but wouldn't being all out NDB ultimately still split the vote in favour of LibDems? I don't see how he gets a stonking majority (quoting that twat from guido) from this

xps to Fizzles - UKIP stood aside for Leave Tories in 2017 using the same logic
― gyac, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:17 (six years ago)
My worry is the melts splitting the anti-Tory vote, prospect of Johnson with a functional majority is pretty fucking terrifying however much Cummings will bring the horrible lulz
― Joe Proroguin' (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:18 (six years ago)
The Brexit Party is going to be very dicey indeed for Johnson. I don't see how he could possibly commit to no deal in an election, having spent so much time pretending he's trying for a deal. We're heading for another hung parliament I'd say, if govt is defeated today
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:20 (six years ago)
Yeah I don't think he'll commit to no deal, Farage is transparently trying to game him and I think he won't bite
― Joe Proroguin' (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:22 (six years ago)
Yeah, this is the rub - their coalition is fucked. Having a Brexit-party manifesto will be a total gift to resurgent LibDems. And the converse would be true too.
Second ref in the Lab manifesto should help a bit w/the melts, I think. And Scotland will help too. xxp
― stet, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:24 (six years ago)
Boris has not promised to leave the EU without a deal - even if we all know that's what the plain is - so I assume the Brexit Party will be standing against Conservative candidates in any forthcoming election.

Of course this is Farage and Johnson we're talking about, lying shitbags the pair o' them.

Have just spent a week with brexiteering in-laws in Dorset, who say they would still vote Farage in an election. If Johnson can't win over the retired brexiteer southern England constituency, he's in trouble

Based on nothing much more than my own ill informed theory. I think the current polling flatters the Brexit party somewhat and election conditions will concentrate minds and votes elsewhere and the tories will be the main beneficiaries. I think Farage is overplaying his hand and team boris know it.

and yes i agree with all the votes breaking to lib dems etc. otoh theresa may had a gangrenously bad election campaign last time and to an extent Jemmy Corybim was an unknown, and there hadn’t been the lib dem resurgence (which admittedly swinson is working hard to piss up the wall).

Fascinating titbit of what happened as 'rebel alliance' of MPs were sitting outside PM's office as they waited for meeting.I'm told several of them were 'hectored for an extended period of time' by Dominic Cummings. He then apparently told them "I don't know who any of you are!"— Paul Waugh (@paulwaugh) September 3, 2019
― Fizzles, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 14:52 (six years ago)
Someone just punch that IT clown already.
Just a reminder that Lib Dems can realistically take around 10 seats from the Tories and 2 or 3 at best from Labour bar some serious SNP '15 level swings.
