I think Greg's a good local MP. He's a bit of a bellend and does too many tweets about pies and Otley beer festival and not enough about the NHS but *shrug*
I've no idea who Alex Sobel is.
Farron is a good man.

But no chance of being in government. Every vote makes labour that little bit stronger whether in government, opposition, or coalition.
But they've been absolutely shit in opposition. Useless.
And Lib Dem....
They should never have gone into coalition

given so many of them will be roundly beaten they're not running but walking

I live in a safe Tory seat, created 2010. The anti-tory vote is split at a low level. He got over 50% of the vote and UKIP came the distant second.
However the Mayor, a local man, has thrown his hat into the ring. It's rumoured we might get a visit from May in support of our sitting member who's been complaining of fake news. :-(
So seems it might be worthwhile.

Nice to see you've totally ignored the largest party in Scotland and also Plaid Cymru, so no I won't be voting in this poll

if you vote for them, they've got a better chance.
mulholland's majority isn't THAT big - it only takes three thousand newly registered youngers and swingeable elders to get rid of him

So many particulars. So many questions.
You can vote when you are of NFA. You have to register homeless with the council and do a form but it is possible.
It's a bit late now. Surely this information should have been out there fr the thusands of homeless prior to/or leading p to the election.
Over looked and ignored as per usual.
You're going to be surprised on June 9th then

you're right - there's a lot of votes out there that certainly wouldn't be for tories.
there is info out there though - just look on Shelter's website

see also: why there is no vote for people in prison
that and nobody but nobody gets elected on a 'prisoners rights!' ticket do they.

well, at least you can vote when you leave prison, unlike many felons in many US states

A mate of mine (in Momentum but doing lots of stuff off her own back) rounded up a few people and went down the homeless centre in Leeds to help some people register, printed off the forms for them beforehand. Kind of a nice thing to do as it won't make any difference in Leeds Central (assuming they register at the shelter address).
Seriously, here's the 2015 Leeds NW result:
Lib Dem: 15,948
Labour: 13,041
Tory 8,083
It also has one of the biggest student populations in the country, most of whom are evidently nuts about Jeremy Corbyn
Labour are going to walk it

I don't know about walk it, but it's clearly going to be between LD and Lab
Depends on where the studes vote - Leeds or at home.
But yeah, it's very clearly a two horse race
Yeah I've spent the last month dealing with idiots wanting me to deliver voter registration packs to homeless people & services that turned out not to actually exist ("oh yeah we're going on holiday actually, here's a pdf to give to all the people you promised packs to" 
) and then chasing trying to get them sorted from the council and various other people. The information has definitely been there, I've seen loads of stuff online and on social media too. Guess it varies by area though and is less likely to reach people who're nfa but not accessing any homeless services.

I'm absolutely not voting for Woodcock, but Furness is going blue anywayz so it's not like I'm gonna cost Labour the election.

Not according to YouGov.
As for how I'm actually going to vote, I have considered holding my nose and voting Labour as a fuck you to all the idiots banging on about terrorists and communism but I'll probably spoil my ballot on the day. Not decided between a "none of the above" or swearwords or something more creative yet.
