The Spanish Curse:
"This will be the third time in four years that the country will hold a general election.
British voters have had their say in some sort of election every single year for the past five years:
-May 2019: European Parliament election (some parts of the UK also held local council elections)
-May 2018: Local council elections in England
-June 2017: General election
-June 2016: Brexit referendum
-May 2015: General election
-September 2014: Scottish independence referendum"

A real conundrum or opportunity this time around for the LibDems.
Though they've sat off the beaten track in a demilitarized zone since the Paddy Ashdown glory years, they have a chance this December to stomp into Parliament with a bigger foot by mobilizing true-blue Remainers.
The conundrum is that we've heard all this hubbub before, in the run-up to the election of 2017. The result that year: the LibDem's vote share dropped even further - to a mortifying 7.4%.
Perhaps Jo Swinson's leadership (and Corbyn's lack of) will make a difference this time.

Seems like this election will be fought exclusively on Brexit. A defacto referendum.
Cons - Leave YES, Give Boris a Mandate to Leave with a good deal
Lib Dems - Leave NO, we are the only party that will keep Britain in Europe
Brexit Party - Leave YES, and you can't trust the Tories to follow through
SNP - Leave NO, Protect Scottish Interests or Scotlands place in Europe
and
Labour - Leave YES, well sorta, and the Tories can't be trusted to put together a good deal, and the people should vote on the deal, and some of us don't agree with Leaving. <- Confusing, and a problem.

The official Labour Party Position on Brexit is REMAIN. During the EU elections they advocated a permanent Customs union with the EU as it looked like Brexit was imminent. But now that there's a chance to not do it, they advocate for the Lib Dems Idea of a Second Referendum.

If no party receives a majority, is it likely that Labor, Lib Dems, and SNP form a coalition for the purpose of preventing a Brexit?

So politically Lib Dems are closer to Conservatives than Labor on many issues?

Lib Dems are Center to Center-Left in regards to ideology. They might be slightly closer to Labour's Democratic Socialist Ideology but try to push themselves as the enlightened centrists and will be hesitent to join. (If Blair was still head of Labour, maybe...)

Hey E Pluribus Unum,
Once you close out the existing races by changing the Term End date to December 12, 2019 at 12:00PM, a new race can be created. I've closed out the Northern Ireland races and have created a race for East Antrim that can be used as a template: https://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=888162 . I put the Term Start date for the 13th at 12AM.
If you're adding candidates, it would be helpful to add the parties of major candidates to those races so we can track and better manage which races are still missing candidates prior to the filing deadline.
Thanks for any help! If you have any questions, feel free to post.
P.S. Since the UK is made up of four countries, you may have to find a candidate by clicking "View Out of Country". All depends on whether that candidate is listed as being from the UK or being from England/Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland.

The gaps are pretty remarkable on those last three.
Corbyn is in touch with ordinary people, but he's not likeable or Prime Ministerial.
or if you prefer...
Johnson is not trustworthy, but is likeable and Prime Ministerial.
Anyway looks like this race is quickly settling back to a Labour vs. Tory race. The hope for the Lib Dems to over take either of the other two or the new Brexit party of making a smash seem to be fading.

Jeremy Corbyn is the most unpopular leader of a major party heading into an election since the data was first recorded in the 1983. (-44%) Michael Foote was (-39%) in 1983 versus Thatcher.
If Boris Johnson wins, he'll win with the 2nd worst popularity ratings on record. (-20%). Blair won a majority in 2005 with (-25%) versus Michael Howard.

“The Conservatives could have a majority of 368 seats in the House of Commons, according to an exit poll of the 2019 general election.
Labour would get 191 seats, the SNP 55 and the Liberal Democrats 13, suggests the joint poll from BBC News, ITV News and Sky News.”
