This is going to depress me massively looking at the early indications.

Won't be back in here.

I'd say the wording of the poll is laced with bias.

Not biased enough, unfortunately.

Now let's analyse these two statements.

If things do not 'seldom' change then the implication is that they 'not seldom = often' change. But the first statement qualification was that only 'some' things seldom change, so if only 'some' things 'often' change then some things do 'not often = seldom' change.

I can't argue with this because self evidently both statements are true.

Why...is having sympathy with terrorists (if indeed he does) on par with committing terrorist acts?

Can/will Corbyn obtain for the UK the best deal for Brexit?
He doesn't convince me he has the back bone to negotiate just about anything! I suspect he would be content to agree to any deal just to make it all go away, paving the way to make a start on his fatuous self styled Red Revolution.

Irrelevant, really, because May is almost certainly going to win with a much increased majority. There's simply no remotely-viable opposition party in the UK any more.

Won't be surprised, really, if Labour vanish into the pit of political history and the future is a choice between the Tories and UKIP.

How many people in Canada would have said the same about the liberals in Canada after 2011? Then look what happened.

The pendulum will swing. It will take a while because it's still on the upswing but when it does it'll come crashing down with a purpose. That much is inevitable, the difficulty is identifying the group that'll benefit. There'll be at least two general elections and any number of by-elections before that happens so there's a little time for cream to rise to the top, but will it be that pure cream that licks the lips or the sour stuff we've been used to that sticks in your throat? Time will tell.
