You really think the tories could gain seats?

I feel like a very large part of the country is so p**sed off with them over the whole Brexit shambles that they would be made to pay at any election although I suppose its possible that a bright, new leader appointed before an election could make a difference.

The same people who would have to desert them would have to vote for Corbyn and I don;t see that happening either.

Who knows. It would be like having to chose which unpleasant illness to catch!
