Title: Help Tactical voting steer required
Post by: Pragmatist on December 03, 2019, 12: PM
Like many people I am desperate to ensure Corbyn does not get into power.
In order to vote tactically to deny him a seat in Hartlepool can anyone shed light on the current polling in the town.
Who is really most likely to unseat Hill, do we know how close either Tory or Brexit candidate are to Labour in the town ?

Reckon the Brexit Party has the better chance of toppling Hill.

Brexit Party appear to be the only one making an effort and I say that as somebody not keen on the party, so no favouritism.

Brexit Party = Hugh Grant with extra slick hair dressing
Labour Party = Forest Gump without the chocolates
SLP = Kim Jong-un from behind
Conservative - AWOL then again I don't frequent West Park
Independent = non runner with a broken leg in in 3:30 at Sedgefield

Hartlepool has to choose the least worst again ...lucky us.

I'll cut the numbers down for you, there are only 2 real horses in The Race and they are Mike Hill Labour Party and Richard Tice Brexit Party.

How you Vote depends on what you personally want from your MP.

If you want a member of parliament that follows the party line, even if that line is contrary to the majority of the electorates opinion then Mike Hill is your man.

If you want a member of parliament who is prepared to carry out the wishes of the people who voted to put him into office Richard Tice is your man.
Title: Re: Help Tactical voting steer required
Post by: Inspector Knacker on December 03, 2019, 04: PM
In normal circumstances, Mike Hill would come second if he stood unopposed, but.... it's Tice or Hickory.
Cue Lib Dem claiming he has a chance, but no he doesn't.

I never mentioned fishing fleets...... I merely pointed out the fact that if voters wanted a candidate to act on the will of the 69% of the people of Hartlepool, it would be Richard Tice.
Title: Re: Help Tactical voting steer required
Post by: diSme on December 03, 2019, 07: PM
I'll be surprised if Tice doesn't win the majority vote.
People are annoyed about Brexit not happening, and labour voters are very much put off by the idea of a second referendum. I really don't see it going labour's way in Hartlepool.

Tice did.
You say he will carry out 'the wishes of the people who vote for him' and given he said he would bring back the fishing boats
then people will have voted for him expecting him to do just that.
I do not believe he can deliver. I doubt anyone who knows about the subject believe he can do it so my question is what is the point of voting for a Politician who can not/will not  deliver on his promises? 
By all means say that 'someone else deserves a chance' instead of introducing  reasons to make it seem like the voting decision was based on realistic  policy expectations.
Besides  it is blindingly obvious 90%  of the support for Tice is all about one single issue.

The will of 69% of the 66% who voted. Which is the will of 46% of the people of Hartlepool. All done in my head and thus not  absolutely accurate.

Remainers are noted for their creative accounting when it comes to elections. Even if you use your mathematical slight of hand, the remain vote will be even less because you arrogantly assume anyone who isn't for Brexit is against it. You can't have it both ways but even both ways your side lost big time again.
Your maths like your politics are painfully selective.

Yep you got it 69% of the 66% that voted......I can't see how even you can include the 34% who didn't bother to get their a***'s out to vote.

69% voted leave....31% voted remain......34% didn't bother to vote.

In rounded numbers so not 100% accurate:

21% voted stay
34% did not vote.

Thats maths for you.


Title: Re: Help Tactical voting steer required

No, that's manipulative maths from you and your remain friends. You know the system is based on those who vote and to try this con is a sign of desperation. Doubtless if the figures were reversed 2016 you'd look like the cat who got the cream with every justification...But you didn't you lost. The cat who got the mouses tail and it's still stuck in your craw.
Title: Re: Help Tactical voting steer required
Post by: fred c on December 04, 2019, 12: PM
46% voted Leave.
21% voted stay
34% did not vote.

So 46% voted to leave......21% voted to remain......Ok so we can count the 67% of the electorate that bothered to vote.

So 34% couldn't be bothered to vote, so why do we need to incorporate the 34% of non participating individuals into any equation about a decision that requires a vote to come to a conclusion on how to formulate a policy

One has to wonder why the long-established (and politically neutral) rules of arithmetic are under attack. I guess if you are convinced  you are part of a mythical  'overwhelming majority'  evidence to the contrary is always going to come as a bit of a shock.

The 'long established and politically neutral rules of mathematics' are being twisted by YOU to suit your own agenda.
Doubtless you think it's clever but only you think it.
I note your reference to the 'overwhelming' majority, your contempt bubbles as you imagine yourself as some enlightened Don Quixote figure tilting at the Windmill of the the great unwashed. I doubt but you'd ever be part of any overwhelming majority, you appear to believe you are above that sort of thing..

You don't get out much do you?
Most of the politicians in Hartlepool are of limited intellect. The SCAB Cabal  barely reach double-digit IQ as a group and the UKIP councillors were hilariously thick. Politics has become so tribal that blind loyalty to a single issue/party/ movement is the only thing that matters and if that means you have to do and say obviously  stupid things for your cause then stupid things will be done and defended to the death no matter how blatant the stupidity.

Title: Re: Help Tactical voting steer required
Post by: Pragmatist on December 04, 2019, 07: PM
Anyway back to my question
Can anybody get some data on current polling so us tactical voters can work out how best to remove Hill.
Btw Labour canvassers our today acknowledge Tice as main threat ( and that Corbyn is a complete liability on doorstep)
Any data??
Title: Re: Help Tactical voting steer required
Post by: akarjl2 on December 04, 2019, 08: PM
Just my gut reaction but i think any candidate that spends some time in last few days in Hartlepool who can string a sentence together and is pro brexit will probably first over the line. Which probably means Tice if he makes the effort.

lib demo remain
cranny- retarded
conservatives- never seen sight nor sound
labour gutless

IF and it is a big if Hill grows some and claims he will support Bonrises deal he may swing it.

if the i have always voted labour mentality prevails the the town deserves everything it gets- nothing.
Title: Re: Help Tactical voting steer required
Post by: Lucy Lass-Tick on December 04, 2019, 08: PM
Hard to come up with statistics, as the likes of the Electoral Calculus use data from previous elections in their predictions - and the Brexit party didn't exist in 2017. Still, I agree with Akarjl2 that Hill's main oppo is Tice.

https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1210217/general-election-news-brexit-party-richard-tice-hartlepool-leave-vote-labour-party

a parliamentary procedure expert, has predicted that by running in the Leave area, Mr Tice is actually ensuring Labour will retain the seat. He also hit out at Nigel Farage for not "bowing out with grace" and risking a Tory majority by standing Brexit Party candidates in battleground seats...............


The chairman of Hartlepool's Conservative party hit out at Mr Farage for effectively handing the seat to Labour.

Ray Martin-Wells said the two pro-Brexit parties would "take each other out" and relinquish a once in a generation chance to remove Labour MPs in the north-east heartland.

The former councillor said he was "surprised and disappointed that [Mr Farage] will effectively hand seats to Labour who clearly don't want to support Brexit".

He added: "I think if we had a clear run at it we'd have a strong chance – Boris is a straight-talker which goes down very well in Hartlepool – but if the Brexit Party stand we will just take each other out."

I agree that there will always be a relatively healthy labour vote in the town, unfortunately. However it is far from being infallible.

Apparently you are not the only one who doubts the 'experts'.  I was at the ramp today and near the alky seat there was a table set up with some people with bright blue hats bothering shoppers.  I listened in on the conversations and a member of the public (who made the fatal mistake of pausing when approached) was told not to take any notice of the opinion polls as they had secret info that 'their' share of the vote was being massively undercounted and they were going to win big time in many seats. Another person was informed that 'Tice' was going to bring 'massive' investment to the town (going to invest his  tax-evasion money  back into the town?) and many firms were just waiting for his election to  flood the town with  well paid  jobs. In the end I could not work out who was more addled. The  bickering drunks and addicts on my  left   or the delusional blue-hat propagandists to my right!

You'll be talking in an echo chamber. No one gives a toss, you'll rewrite history to suit your own agenda anyway. Just soooo1984.

I can't begin to guess what mk1 will post about after Brexit is all over, whichever way it turns out.
Fred, mikeyboy's condition as being a fully diagnosed BDS sufferer, although incurable, is actually substitutable in that once Brexit inevitably becomes a reality, he will just switch his myopic, ad nauseum, virtue signalling, narrow minded views over to any other anally focused pursuits. Maybe it will involve his inexhaustible expertise on Toy-town traffic management, maybe he'll get a gig as Marketing Director for out of date YouTube clips. Or hopefully (Oh please G, please!!) he'll just retire and crawl back to his vegan-themed allotment in greatham. We can only hope!
(mikeyboy.....do you wake up in a cold sweat now and again, and tremble when you imagine that over in the corner inside that big mysterious wardrobe, all those slavvering, bong-eyed loonies might one night escape and break through your garlic protection shield?)

COME ON TICE!
60 years of tossers and nowt to show for it.
Time for a change.
Time for the least worst!

So, go for Tice. What do you lose?
I can almost sense you are just about there akarjl2.
Go on. Just do it! You'll feel better, and tell your many friends to do the same. We are on countdown now and no time to lose.
"7 Days To Save Hartlepool"

(Oh by the way, can't fully agree with your idea of being so cheesed-off with our politicos that you'd either not vote at all or even maybe spoil your ballot. Our democratic principles were hard fought for and it's what makes us better than all those sh****le countries we know and recognise. No vote is a wasted vote. Even if sometimes it's given to the 'least worst'. I'm sure you'll do the right thing for Hartlepool)

People that keep voting Labour in this town (because they don't like the opposition) remind me of children that don't like broccoli, even though they have never tasted it!

We have had 60 years of Labour in Hartlepool.  >:(   >:(
Wake up, smell the coffee, it hasn't worked for this town, possibly because some of the Cllrs have been in it for themselves and not for the townsfolk.  >:(

A perfect example is the lying, conniving Labour Cllr that (finally) ended up in prison. How long did that take? How many times were warnings given to the council top brass and other Cllrs?

The outcry was ignored, excuses given, Labour Cllrs commented that all was well, as she kept embezzling money from OUR coffers. 
That is what Labour has done for this town, screwed us.  >:(

For crying out loud, keep voting for the same thing and, ergo, you get the same thing!

Have a taste of the broccoli folks...it won't poison you, it may even make you feel good about the town again.  :)

Vote for change...vote for a fresh face...vote Brexit, for the good of the town, our children and grand-children.  :)   :)

A council that was run as a Lab/Tory Pact in which Tory councillors were given complete control of all planning in the town. Some people got very rich because of that gerrymander. By all means call out the corrupt but do not try and portray it as a problem confined to just one party.

[/quote] When you've been in the grip of Labour for 60 years, what other Party was there running the town? I think you should tell us.
That said, you have become rather Labour protective of late. Damascus conversion?

He's like the North Korean Ministry of Political Education and Propaganda, devoid of imagination. Without YouTube he would be unable to make contact with us and like all true propagandists is selective and humourless, working on the principle of perpetually banging out the same old crap, claiming the moral high ground and waiting for us all to come round to his view or disappear from his world(the board ::))
A disruptor.

Hear Farage here threatening Boris saying that if he (Boris) does not do what Nigel demands then The Brexit Party will run in every UK seat in the GE.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZSf3GCu9mU

And this brilliant negotiator can be seen here holding up the white flag after Boris called his bluff and Farage realising his plunging poll numbers would wipe out his party, made pathetic excuses to explain his humiliation.

I was convinced it was hyperbole but decided to check it out before trying to correct. Turns  out it was spot on. I was wrong and he was right. Buses are indeed rammed with 'retards' (sic).

That is how Shane came here. He was Ray Well's gopher and he spent all his energy defending every action of his master. He was called 'The Shadow' back then and his admiration for Ray knew no bounds. 'Bromance' did not even come close. It all went pear-shaped when 'The Shadow' got a bit above himself and thought he deserved some say on forming  Tory Policy. That did not go down well with Ray who had stuffed the Local Party with his relatives and so had in effect made the Party his own private Property. The Shadow became the Saddo and deprived of a path to higher office he left and became a UKIP Loony. Personally I think that he would have been better off under Ray than having to deal with the UKIP Councillors because they were very dim-witted people indeed. A good move career-wise because in the world of the blind the one-eyed man is King. Lots of indians milling about looking for a Chief.
