General Election June 8th

[Blue Hefner]

Why don't we just call this thread the Tory appreciation thread and be done with it?

Seems any views that don't involve hanging out of May's arse are not welcome.

It's a fair point I make. She needs to debate. If she doesn't she will be seen as scared.

For clarity, I have never voted Tory - I am 34

May has everything to lose and very little to gain. If you were her would you go on a platform and essentially validate parties such as the SNP and Lib Dems when all they will bang on about is independence and overturning the Brexit vote, respectively?

Also, there is a potential argument to say that debates are logistically difficult. 3 debates in 6 weeks. Where they have to prepare, rehearse, debrief as well as other election commitments

How are the SNP doing in Scotland? in terms of actually running the country, I genuinely have no idea other than what I hear through the right wing media' and PMQs

That looks like a child's Christmas list - is there any substance or means of paying for all that?

She wont be PM then, I'm no fan of tv debates but she wants a mandate to negotiate brexit surely for that the voters need to know what sort of brexit she wants to negotiate and like it or not most voters now get their information from these debates.
How can I give a mandate to somebody that wont tell me what she stands for, or give me a vision of the future, apart from keep saying brexit means brexit the last I really heard her expand on brexit was when she was telling me it was bad for Britain, just like a few months ago she told me an election was too.

Bang on the money.

Bang on the money.

Until you think it through.

If she refuses to meet Sturgeon in debate she will be a coward and all her hype will come crashing around her shitey arse.

Why the fuck would May bother with meeting Sturgeon in a debate?

For a start, what would Sturgeon have to debate about? 1. Independence. 2. Err, independence.

Secondly, Sturgeon is a complete nobody. She can't even have an independence referendum without May's say so :-D

Finally, I do believe this is a General Election for the UK Parliament. What the fuck does Sturgeon have to do with a UK Parliamentary election?

Tbf most of that just seems ethically correct in a decent society. The inheritance tax thing could be divisive, but there seems to be an effort to help small business rather than pander to the corporate monsters which is good.
I'm sure it will all be ridiculed as uncosted - probably by the same people who for some reason won't feel the need to look at public borrowing since labour were last in power. Poor Jezza. His policies are like the highway code or the ten commandments. Clearly a good thing, but us humans don't work like that.

All sounds legit. There should be a landslide.

Until you think it through.

She'll be PM without a shadow of a doubt but a TV debate is the one forum where you get to see party leaders together and, while they're armed with soundbites, also have to think on their feet. Sturgeon and Clegg both hugely enhanced their political careers by their performances in televised debates.

Its frustrating that interviewers always take sturgeon on on her own terms ( independence and brexit) instead if challenging her about the shit job the SNP is doing running Scotland. I'd laugh, but it'll be our taxes used to bail their public services out of the mire.
