Yes, granted. But the Brexit Party WTO dal isn't relevant to anyone because they aren't going to win a majority. :shrug:

Best scenario for Leicester is 3 points and Unai still in a job...
No 4 or 5 nil win here
More like a feisty 2-2 with Vardy scoring a late pen for 3-2
Unless you live in a marginal with a majority of one, every vote is wasted.
Also, every spoilt ballot paper has to be shown to every single candidate to see if they disagree. So if you write rude things on it, you can abuse them from the ballot box.
One ballot paper last time just had cünt written next to every name, except the Lab candidate's which had not a cünt written next to it.
Fair play to the Tories and other parties, all agreed that this should count as a vote for the Lab candidate and this was obviously what the voter wished to convey, even if he'd somehow misunderstood the 'put your cross in just one box' bit.
Except of course that the "other policies" that the Tories are campaigning on include massive increases in public spending (popular with traditional Labour voters) while Labour are pledging to not only reverse Brexit but to keep freedom of movement (massively unpopular with traditional Labour voters).
So your assumption that former Labour and now Brexit Party voters would sooner return to Labour than vote Tory is not necessarily correct. For many of these people, the Tories now better represent them than the metropolitan liberal elite-dominated Labour.
