I hope this is a joke! Where exactly are they going to find the extra 100 seats? They'll pick up a few dozen Labour marginals but they'll haemorrhage a handful to the Lib Dems in the South West.

Blair came close to a supermajority in 1997, didn't he? And he only had like a 12 or 13 point lead in the popular vote over the Tories whereas I believe May currently has a 18 or 20 point lead over Comrade Corbyn. If that somehow magically held, wouldn't a supermajority be possible? I mean I very much doubt that such a thing will happen but it could, couldn't it?

I picked Tories.

I'd like to see the UKIP make some gains, no matter how modest.

They won't, fascist success is limited and short lived in Britain.

True, but I think that Britain is falling down the slippery slope to a two party state like the US. If a fringe party like the UKIP was to gain popularity, it would certainly make things more dynamic.

UKIP [...] fascist

I'm concerned about the state of the education system.
Seriously, this is something I'd expect a 14 year old antifa thug to blurt out.

UKIP fascist... goddamn...
