Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Just listened to the Guardian podcast and the concesnsus view is that this is an odd election cos usually the winning party wins across the board. this time they believe that the Tories will win massively amongst the old and lose catastrophically with the young.

But the old vote and the young don't.

Also, there's a view that Labour are building up massive leads in certain constituencies but, across many that matter, they're not doing much of anything at all. So, the polls may be correct (but the tory lead is probably a lot larger amongst real voting intentions), but the geographical spread of the vote isn't helping Labour

Unless the young vote (Brexit) and the old don't (May and care stuff, etc). Wonder how enthusiastic the old are to get out and vote Tory this time?

well, it's just a few days away. We'll find out soon enough. I suspect that Corbyn is going on TV tonight cos he's done rather well of late and knows he need another heave.

Meanwhile the tabloids seem to be co-ordinating their attacks, probably changing subject each day to find which mud sticks.
