Its worth bearing in mind you can get these types of protest votes , what voters do in By Elections , Council , Regionals , Mayor , Brexit elections can be very different in an General Elections , Liberals have been here before ...

I'm sure during the Blair run up Labour were very much far ahead of the Tories around this time of the election cycle ??

What each party lacks is an election campaigner like Johnson , lover or hate him he does have that knack for some reason he appeals and turns head either in anger or support , if he was walking down your high street for some bizarre reason folk would come out point , shout , cheer , have a selfie , can't see many doing that for Ed Davey or Kier ?? ...
Johnson was booed in public a few weeks ago, as he walked in to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee ceremony.

I can't see him getting cheered in the high street at the moment, if he can't even make 10 seconds there.
