1) Comment the UK Party of this upcoming 2019 general election on 12th December you will back.
2) You can argue all kinds of feasibility and such but NO REFERENCE TO THEIR LIKELIHOOD TO WIN THE ELECTION IS ALLOWED this is about which party should win.
3) Don't think I will slip up.

Reason:

Con forfeited half of the debate, that's poor conduct.

All other points tied, the debate is largely incomplete due to cons forfeits.

Reason:

Con forfeited half of the debate, so win goes to Pro.

However, I feel like if Con hadn't fortified, Con would have won, so only one point to Pro.
