General Election June 8th

[Tim of the Oak]

How about a Bluemoon poll at the top of this thread @Ric ?
BM was spot on with the Brexit vote. It will be interesting to see if the BM membership reflects the population again.

That's because the average aged Blue is now over 60.

I think there's enough disillusionment with Corbyn on here to make it interesting.

Lib dem's could make a massive come back, and if Labour take a "reverse Brexit" stance things could get interesting.

I've been voting since 1974. Never have I felt so disinclined to vote for any of the parties. Looks like being a "None of the above" vote for me.

I am a left wing Tory, if there is such a thing and I have always been a conservative voter until the last election

I cannot bring myself to vote for the Conservative MP in my constituency so I will be voting Labour hoping he will be removed, but overall I want the Conservatives in power as they really are the only party that can deal with the enormous issue that is Brexit

Thank fuck!!!!

Tories will win with an increased majority...crafty move by May

If they had a credible leader I'd agree but Tim Farron comes across as too wet be be convincing.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Excellent, it will be a chance for us to get rid of Corbyn. That guy, as much as conservatives, is ruining this countries future.

Maybe our question should be "Who do you want to win the election" rather than "Who will you vote for"?

Because he's a selfish little shit who wants to be the prime minister, he actually believes he has a shot.

I don't think he does though. As Leader of the Opposition he can make all sorts of statements and talk about policies he knows he'll never have to worry about implementing and paying for.

There is that, but they have said for a while now they would stand in reversing Brexit, A lot of discruntled Europhiles may well just take him up on it.

Unless Labour come out in the next few days with the same stance.

The more I think about this game election, the more I think Theresa May has been taken lessons from Erdoğan

 

[TCIB]

Lib Dems ( feel the name is now ironic after their brexit nonsense) might nick a couple of seats in the south from Conservatives, maybe. I don't see them doing anything more than that.

2 reasons, as it is the next election would come at the most crucial stage of negotiations for brexit, secondly lords and others are making a nuisance of themselves trying to block the process in some cases, to their shame i should add. So this will give May the iron fist she needs to deal with them whining so and so's and generally give her the mandate she needs to have a strong hand at the brexit table.

Oh dear TCIB, you are obviously unaware that leaving the EU comes before the next election and the House of Lords has no power to block or make life difficult as the Commons can just overrule them as they did recently with the amendments to the leaving bill.

 

[jimharri]

Anyway; where the fuck is Kay Burley? We should be told.

 

[The Northern Baptist]

This GE will be a fairly simple process for me. I'll turn up at the polling booth, ask the name of the Conservative candidate and vote for them.

 

[Chris in London]

Anyone else suspect the SNP will treat the outcome (assuming they remain Scotland's biggest party) as their mandate for indyref2?

They have the power to make a nuisance of themselves. May getting full mandate helps her slap them down, anyone can see this. The next general election would have been an issue with brexit to ignore that is folly.

Good shout. @Ric

Where is the Honourable Member James Hacker MP, when you need him???

 

[mancityvstoke]

Corbyn is clueless
