I reckon it will be closer than expected, close enough that the Tories will portray it as a first step in getting the deal over the line.
I also reckon that at some point tonight John McDonnell will be interviewed and my blood pressure will close in on 210/140.
Thing is, the only way that can happen is by destroying the Tory party - and very possibly the Labour Party.
All in all, a GE would be my favoured outcome. Imagine an election contested by two parties who can’t summon up a coherent or meaningful manifesto on the main question we’re voting on?
The death of party politics!
Effectively electing individuals rather than parties!
Actual democracy!
Wouldn’t that be marvellous?
