General Election June 8th

[CitizenTID]

Labour votes have gone up on here in last couple days. Tory votes stagnated.

Using this poll as a barometer for the nation. Don't think we have many fox hunting cnuts on here though.

Are you another spender of anyone else's money other than your own? Or are you a keen £80k+ earner eager to hand over more money?

I would love to pay more tax from my earnings.

Jesus mate, do you honestly think she's going to come out just after a terrorist crisis and state that the Met are under resourced?

Fair point, but she could have batted the question away with a "resourcing is always a challenge, but we are coping extremely well" or some such. She didn't do that: her response was bullish.

Fair enough. Suggest if the Tories get in then, you might want to up your charitable contributions instead. Everyone's a winner then.

I am sick of politicians of all parties coming out with these bullshit cliches.

TM-"Enough is Enough" - what does that actually mean. What are you actually going to do about it? People want answers not words.

Khan- "London is the safest global city in the world" is it really or is this just more bullshit."

It's time the politicians started to do something about this

May will continue with her successful policies she implemented and pursued as Home Secretary for 6 years and for a year as PM. Slashing Police numbers continuing with the flawed Prevent strategy which moved the onus on the public reporting suspicious activities t save Police time and money gathering their own intelligence - she has failed completely to keep the country and its citizens safe from harm

Plus in fairness to Khan - May has had a lot longer in post and in a more elevated post to enable changes than he has had.

Message to Mavis - instead of acting like a Vicar's daughter and talking about 'difficult and embarrassing' conversations, let us know what you've been doing ( or not doing) in the last seven years as Home Secretary ( PM) - borders,policing,homeland security all under your watch.

cutting costs and saving money of course.....................

Labour votes have gone up on here in last couple days. Tory votes stagnated.

As reflected in the national polls.

I don't think you will find a soul on here who suggests that the Tories have run a good campaign, nor that the polls have not narrowed.

But it's equally true that the Tories did have a huge lead, so Labour had a lot of catching up to do. Whether they have caught up enough to make a big difference is anybody's guess right now.

The one thing that does concern me is the high number of voter registrations, which might mean the young are thinking they may turn up for once. That would be very bad news for May indeed, since that demographic seems to have been well and truly bought off.

Why would one trivial think make people vote one way or the other ? There far more important issue in the world I would think.

 

[stonerblue]

Cressida Dick when asked this morning if she had adequate resource said, "Actually we have very good resources". Must be a Tory stooge eh? We can dismiss the views of anyone who doesn't tow the Labour "the whole country is shit" line.

Carry on Citizen, much more brainwashing work for you to do until Thursday.

That's one hell of a name. I wanna google it but am concerned about what results might pop up.

Fuck it, i did it anyway. And given her background, upbringing, mates and employment record there is noooooooo way she'd be a tory stooge..

Torys suspend campaigning whilst May blatantly electioneering on the issue that will determine a lot of votes.

Seems fair.

About as fair as telling everyone they will spend more on everything and hardly anyone will have to pay for it.

"Using <Bluemoon> as a barometer" is not exactly a methodology likely to be adopted by MORI any time soon, I might add. When you consider there was a big Labour majority on this thread before the campaigning even started. There's people on here would vote for Lenin if he were to stand.

This.

They seriously think that they can use Google and Facebook to halt extremism because it cheaper.

If they win we'll see internet crackdowns that'll make China look liberal. She'll probably block the porn too. All in the name of "Security"

I for one don't want to walk blindly into fascism "For our own protection"

You could always send additional cheques to HMRC

 

[MillionMilesAway]

I think that refers to other people rather than yourself but either way I will try to not let it keep me awake at night.

Electoral Commission in 2015 (source: Telegraph)
“A voter may volunteer information about who they voted for, provided no undue influence is exerted on them to do so.
“There is no explicit provision in law that prevents people from tweeting or re-tweeting that information. There is, however, provision to prevent exit polls to be published until polls have closed.”

66a is entitled: "Prohibition on publication of exit polls"
I doubt that one person saying how they voted is a 'poll'.

Good to see you not falling for the usual stereotypes, Stoner. "Clever woman, went to Oxford, must be a Tory." I'm glad you haven't fallen into that trap.

Clockwork. Too easy.

 

[remember arthur mann]

54.7% and rising !

You know what they say, there's only one poll that matters, the one on Bluemoon. We can ignore June 8th.

Very good resources but obviously not as adequate as before the Tory cuts. Seriously, how common is it for chief officers (fire service as well) to admit they're under-resourced when they get bonuses for managing being under-resourced (by cutting staff numbers)? "I didn't get where I was today by slagging off my bosses."
