Hahaha from a supporter of the conservative government led by Boris Johnson. Satirical post of the week for sure, nice one.
I’m not a supporter of the Conservative Party and never have been.

I knew you’d say that, your a slippery one I’ll give you that, so, LibDem then? Greens? Other? that’s it, Other.
I’m a life long labour voter who may well vote LibDem next time because Labour has been hijacked by wannabe something or otherists

Do you still also maintain that in a General Election the Brexit Party will not gain a single seat?
Yes, unless the Conservatives choose not to contest it.

Bercow to one side there are plenty of grand dames and dukes on the back benches who could play the disinterested caretaker for the short period involved, but no, Jeremy sees an opportunity for getting his ass in the big chair and literally nothing else.
Yes. Corbyn is a dick. If Labour fail to endorse a caretaker PM that will
pee off many moderate Labour supporters. Where do they go, though?
The next election will be a free-for-all. FPTP will ensure it's unpredictable.

Really ... does everything have to be explained so simply to you?

I was commenting on the fact that at 33-1 it looks like a reasonable bet.
I'm not taking evens!
If you're content with a 2.94% chance of winning, be my guest.

What odds would you suggest are fair?

Well, there's a difference between odds that fairly reflect John Bercow's chances of becoming Prime Minister and what I would consider reasonable in terms of what I would wager on. Odds of 33/1 against winning would be considered very long by most people. This is expressed in a low probability (0.0294).

Personally, I wouldn't wager anything more than a paltry sum on that outcome unless I had insider information.

I already offered even money, can't get fairer than that.

I’ll add “slippery” to the list of unpleasant adjectives thrown at me then. As I have said many times in this forum, I am a floating voter. I’ve voted Labour multiple times, LibDem once, Conservative multiple times and UKIP multiple times.
In future I will vote Brexit Party every single time until Brexit is done or the party dissolves.

Do you still adamantly maintain that in the next General Election the Brexit Party will not gain a single seat?
