The General Election 2017

The General Election has been a bit of a rollercoaster. At the start the Conservatives had a 24% lead in the polls over Labour. This looked like a landslide for the Conservatives. The polls were likely to tighten over the election campaign as the Labour tribe started to come behind Corbyn.

The Conservatives seemed to be running a "give them enough rope" election by staying pretty silent and letting Labour et al do the work for the Conservatives. The big problem came with their manifesto and the so-called "Dementia Tax". Yet the "Dementia Tax" is an option for the way forward in paying for "Social Care".

In South Cambridgeshire Heidi-Hi should win. I predict this will be with a reduced majority. The Liberal Democrats have been fighting a better campaign carrying on from the Mayoral Election where the Liberal Democrats came first under some calculations. If you want to give Heidi-Hi the old Heave-Ho then vote Liberal Democrat.

Who am I voting for. I will be voting Liberal Democrat. For one reason. I want my MP to have substantial roots in the community they serve. Heidi has a rented house in Steeple Morden paid out of parliamentary expenses whilst jointly owning a house in London and a house in St. Albans. Her business is in Welham Green. Whilst Heidi has a house in the constituency it is on the boundary and nearest in the constituency to her properties and business.

Terrorists for Jez.

After the Manchester bombing some of the Corbynistas thought the Conservative Government had done all this to give the Conservatives a boost in the polls. How about this for an alternative scenario. Jez has terrorist friends in Hamas, Hezbollah, IRA to name a few. Jez wants to get out of wars and conflicts and get rid of our armed forces. Jez doesn't want a "shoot to kill" policy. The terrorists may therefore think that Jez is their man. Get Jez in power and the UK becomes impudent. When Cameron wanted to bomb Syria because Assad was gassing his own people the UK parliament said no and then so did the US. Knock the UK out and other will follow.

I'm not saying Jeremy Corbyn or Labour is co-ordinating terrorists. What I am saying is the Islamic Terrorists, looking at this election, could see that Jez as PM would be a boon for them out in the rest of the world as the UK and the other nations retreat from intervening in foreign countries.

The General Election result.

The Conservatives will win. By how much is the question. It isn't beyond reason that Theresa would end up with a majority of 12. I predict the percentage numbers will be Conservatives on 45% and Labour on 31%. This will give the Conservatives a majority of @100.

South Cambs will be retained by the Conservatives.
Cambridge will be retained by Labour.
