Have you made a plan for when you'll go to vote, and how you'll get there?

@clickhere They finally ran a candidate in Louth (who got my first preference)
@clickhere Important to note the Soc Dems are only running in 25 of the 43 constituencies, they might be looking at averaging double digits in those constituencies. Could be looking at serious seat gains.
@clickhere SD's are up the amount SF are down. A lot of votes moved after SF's reaction to the anti-immigration protests. They lost a lot of the liberal left vote.
@Ronnierobins Oh yes! Good spot - and in opinion polls since earlier in the year (when SF really went all in on their dog whistling) their numbers dropped poll after poll, iirc.
