Just having a first look at some election data, first surprising thing that jumps out at me is the 30 highest majorities are ALL labour held seats

Very much true but the underlying reasons behind why people voted for that party still remain...

Expecting a similar result to last time but with the brexit party hoovering up some votes from the big 2.
Something like this
Con 35
Lab 35
Lib 11
Brx 12
SNP 4
Grn+others 3

Labour 35% looks way out - Lib dems will get a lot of the young voters from labour and brexit party will get a lot of the older ones

It's Green Party policy to ban greyhound racing and have a "review" into the future of horse racing. :shock:

Far more important stuff for them to focus on though.

Also, any party looking to ban / review the sports would come up against some serious opposition. Look at the amount of money horse racing contributes to the economy.

I have seen first hand what the Green Party have done to Brighton.

Shocking.

I believe it's certain Labour MPs that have the racing/betting industry firmly in their sights.
