Of course, "genuine Brexiteers" all loathe the single market...

The Daily Politics has given us a view and a snippet of statement by the main candidates today. Not impressed by any of them. I suppose the Conservatives have chosen a Hard Brexit candidate but she did not come across as very firm as her statement was colourless and passive. The UKIP candidate seems a very hardline to extent of abrasiveness which may not pay off? The Labour candidate was a low level sloganeer.
Have there been any polls at all in the constituency?

LDs make a pitch for the Remain vote. What do we think? UKIP snatch second? LDs a close 3rd? Labour fade? The Conservative did quite well with her in Scunthorpe in 2005 and she did not stand in 2010 when Scunthorpe was a poor Conservative result! |

Shock LD win with the Brexit vote split 3 ways I think that unlikely. I did note the Smiley. I shall await the LD vote with interest in a rather different constituency to RP. They might garner the strongly pro-Remain, but just how many Conservative Remainers will actually swop to LD? I do think they will improve and overhaul Labour with a reverse squeeze. Can they put the bite on the established Lincs Ind candidate? |

No forum poll?

A forum poll for 2nd would be the most interesting if we're going to do one.

Victoria Ayling is, unfortunately, a very poor candidate. Abrasive, and not particularly bright. She was a big fan of 'rancid' Raheem, and blocked all on twitter who took an opposing view. |

She has blocked here Twitter account again! Approved followers only! I agree with you that UKIP are likely to come second though, even though they only ever seem to have the same 3 people campaigning with Ayling in photos! (apart from when Farage arrived and the locals arrived for the circus...). I think the Tories have been quietly working this seat as they did not in RP and will win easily... Lib Dems have done nothing but leaflet here (50activists not 500 out on Saturday) and a doubling of their vote to 12 % would be a good result |

I will go for Con easily winning with Labour 2nd . No reason why the Labour vote should fall much from the GE and the UKIP campaign is bereft of money and activists . Modest improvement in Lib Dem support particularly in North Hykeham area but will be let down by being very weak in Sleaford .
Marianne Overton could be the surprise package .

I'm watching for the Liberal-UKIP polarization. I expect both to improve their vote. The question is by how much.
