Uxbridge is not designer metro liberal right-on territory. Strong element of white working and middle class.
BORIS is safe. CON did very well in recent Hillingdon Borough elections.
I know there are quite a lot of fans of the Crown on here. Just wondering from the bits I've seen - there doesn't seem much focus on the Queen Mother. Strange since we're always told how important she was.

Next! How’s Mogg doing?
I sense MarkyMark is absolutely right, Tories have south west sown up no Lib Dem revival. No Wells. No Yeovil.. no Taunton. In fact in that part of the world labour are staying labour and not helping Lib Dem’s, so the labour shares will be high as 2017 not tactical.
The longer this campaign has gone on, the less inclined I am to vote for any of the three main parties:-
1. Corbyn: no. Lots of reasons - mainly dragging his party into a Far Leftist illiberal anti-Semitic gutter. And the WASPI bribe has really annoyed me.
2. Boris: no. A total charlatan. Has made a Faustian pact with the Hard Brexiteers for the sake of his ambition thereby trashing the main things which made traditional Conservatism worthwhile.
3. Swinson: strategically inept and talking dangerous rubbish over the Gender Recognition Act. Apparently expecting people with gender dysphoria to undergo medical tests is too too ghastly to contemplate but women are expected to put up with having men invade their private spaces and the risk of some of them abusing that. In Lib Dem La-La-land, rape is not as ghastly as being asked questions by a doctor.
In my constituency that leaves the Brexit Party (as if!) or the Greens.
Or the Meeks option - abstaining in person.
What a choice.
Case of spot the PM.
Look at the seats the Tories are projected to just miss - and the 7-8-9% Brexit Party vote in those seats.

Quite the contrary. I would like them both to lose. And disappear from the political stage, never to be heard of again.
As I have a Labour MP with a very large majority, my vote is largely pointless.
Bribe wise, how about an extra week's paid holiday a year guaranteed by law?
Draw a cock and balls against the Brexit Party candidate. Really lavish some attention on it.
"I'm protesting against my protest vote..."
The problem with abstaining is that someone will still be elected. There will be a government. None of the above is not an outcome. Abstention is acceptance.
Pick the least worst.
Then elect a leader who can win and you can deal with these pressing issues.
Perhaps I won't need to, what could possibly go wrong with Bozo as PM, Patel as Home Sec and Raab as Foreign Sec?
- Nine polls fieldwork ending 25-29 Nov: Lab was at 34% in four of these nine polls
- Six polls fieldwork ending after 29 Nov: Lab only at 34% (*) in one of these six polls
(*) Actually got 35%, but below 34% in all others
Far too early to be confident of anything - but it's a sign Lab has at least flatlined and may have just started to turn down.
The other choice is Corbyn
If only people had not enabled him in 2017
Well, not enough of them to suit labour anyway.
There will be costs for employers and that means less jobs
Remember every single Lib Dem MP made a personal pledge with all the razzmatazz that went with it, Clegg go into coalition where he could deliver his promise & then tripled fees.
Depressing turnout of the anti Tory vote is a clear, obvious goal of the Conservative campaign. Why reward them and do what they want you to do?
Surely they would have been happy to clear that up if those reports were wrong

Personally I think you're mistaken in letting the party leaders determine your choice. We don't have a presidential system, and while Boris's purge may have neutered his backbenchers, none of the leaders can totally rely on their parties.
A big loss is the only hope of the Labour Party coming to its senses.
One pledge on tuition fees pales into insignificance compared to the lies that Johnson comes out with on a weekly basis. Without entirely excusing what they did, the Lib Dems were a very junior party in the coalition and were in no position to honour their manifesto pledges.
Breaking the first was inevitable, for the reason you state. Breaking the second was very bad manners. Doing so to chase the dream of electoral reform - a dream they didn't even bother to put in their manifesto - was unforgivable.
Getting the name wrong was unintentional, wish I could go with that being ironic lol . . .
This is as famous as I've ever been.
The Simpsons managed to ask Nick Clegg how he can sleep at night:

Absolute nonsense about not being able to honour the pledge, the Lib Dems could easily have made it one of their red lines.

If you want to elect a Lib Dem MP you don't need to change the electoral system. You just need more of your neighbours in your constituency to also vote Lib Dem than Tory or anyone else.
The first step to changing anything is to realise your own problems. The problem is not the electoral system the problem is people don't want to vote for your party.
