I'm genuinely in a pickle this election.
I detest the tories, am a kind of natural Labour (old Labour) voter, but believe passionately (and have done for 40 years) in the right of this country to be free and independent of the European Union.
The Labour Party I grew up voting for was of a similar position re the EU and I am certain that JC is a natural euro sceptic but he made a poor miscalculation last year in coming out for remain, in part I believe because he believed - wrongly as it turns out - that doing so would unify the party behind him.
If it was up to him I'm convinced he would be pro Brexit but as his party has been hijacked by right wing blairites over the last 2 decades or so I have little faith in the Labour Party seeing Brexit through if elected.
I can't and won't vote Tory. I see no point in the lib dems and ukip are hateful.
I was of the opinion that I should "vote Tory this time to guarantee Brexit and go back to labour next time after we have left" but I don't think I can do it. I look at them and other than a few of them I see privileged selfish oafs who care not one jot about me and mine.
On a side note did you see QT last night? I now have a fairly enormous crush on Angela Rayner. And that Patel woman is a waste of a gorgeous face in a hateful mind.
I'm conflicted.
If balaclava man was anti eu I'm sure he would have ignored the pleas of his MP's and campaigned true to his values. As we have been told he is a rare breed, an honest politician. I think we can put his change of heart on Europe, terrorists and voting against his own party down to a vision that visited him during the night just after he became leader. A coincidence maybe but the only credible answer.
That or he is just another **** of a politician like the rest of them when the sniff of power comes along, and his cult following have been deceived or just prefer to ignore the facts for their own deluded dreams.
