The question is now what kind of Brexit. In my opinion Labour are far more likely to get the sort of deal the majority of us (both 'soft' Leavers and Remainers) want by engaging with the EU and getting a sensible agreement that answers most of the important issues, than either the Tories will by confrontation or the Lib Dems would even if they had the courage to try to reverse Article 50.
I also think Corbyn is seen as at most only a grudging Remainer, and I know many don't believe that he actually did vote Remain personally - he was certainly in the anti-EU Tony Benn faction originally. Whereas ironically May - who I think was a closet Leaver all along - is perceived as having U-turned on that as well.

And this.
Plus the fact that the European governments are all much more the moderate social democrats that Labour broadly wants to emulate than they are the no-worker-rights America-Lite corporate tax haven that the Tories want to make us.

There was a similar situation in Spain, deadlock for quite a while, but then the PP got back in after a re-election. I think.
My feedback thread is here.
Sun, Mail, Evening Standard, Telegraph, Times, Star, Express, FT - Tory
Metro - neutral-ish?
Mirror, i, Guardian - Labour
And given how the Labour leaning papers ciculation numbers are really low compared to the Tory leaning ones (they don't even beat the Mail combined), I wouldn't be sutprised if this GE was strongly Tory, despite what some of the polls are saying
It will boil down to whether Labour can get people out to vote ... the Tories voters always turn out come hell or high water.

A Liberal Democrat election stunt has dramatically backfired after it emerged the party's spoof 'May and Co estate' agency already exists and its owner revealed he will no longer vote for them following the mix-up. The mock estate agent was designed to make a scathing attack on Theresa May's so called dementia tax.
However, the real May and Co has been operating in Chelsea since 1920 and its owner John Yianni was quick to notify the party of their mistake. He said he was dismayed after members of the public called his office to ask why he was suggesting they should sell their homes to pay for social care.
A mock placard attached to the Lib Dem's press release featured a photograph of Theresa May and the words: “May and Co: selling your home to fund your care”.
The fake company was described as "Westminster's finest estate agents - dealing exclusively in selling vulnerable elderly people's homes to pay for the care they desperately need".
Mr Yianni told the inewspaper that he only learnt about the spoof agency after he received aggressive phone calls from some “very weird people”.
He said that he had been intending to vote for the Lib Dems in next week's election, but “definitely wasn’t” going to now.
“It’s actually been a terrible experience, and really quite upsetting. I’ve never had so much trouble in the 15 years I’ve been here", he said.

the lazier labour voters might leave it for others to vote
has anyone looked at the figures, the polls are still averaging a very large lead for the tories,
last time they said it was neck-and-neck, and the tories got 6.5% more at the polls
typical projections are a 68% chance of a tory majority:

Clegg could lose his seat they think
Sure. A calculated strategy would be better than the fucking awful one she's had so far.
Corbyn would probably be well-advised to do this too
Edit. Sorry. That's cheap and unnecessary. I apologise to you, Mr TC.
