I think a hung parliament could end up seeing both leaders ousted and

more moderate leaders take their place which would not be a bad thing in my book.

I will be honest I see a labour majority as the worst outcome (for me and the country) but I think that's highly unlikely and I also don't have much enthusiasm for voting Johnson in as PM either. He's an idiot and frankly its a bit embarrassing that he and Corbyn are the best we have to chose from. I could live with a hung parliament if it got rid of both Johnson and Corbyn. I think all parties want the fixed term parliament act amended anyway so that would happen under a hung parliament.

The bit I'm less sure about is how I feel about the fact that would almost certainly result in a second referendum because I am pretty certain that whatever deal were put to the people in that referendum will make remain winning inevitable (as it will only be a softer Brexit deal if any deal is different from Johnson's) and I'm a bit nervous about whether that will just make the whole situation much worse in terms of the divisions we already have.
