Lets try and spell this one out for you.
During May's tenure as Home Sec and PM there have been cuts of 20,000 police officers, cuts in surveillance (as this has been moved to cyber surveillance) which has saved the government money and cuts in border security too.
We continue to supply the Saudi's with the weaponary which has already ended up in the hands of radical groups including ISIS.

That final sentence is the one that hurts most. Our government is involved in the links that creates the likes of Manchester and London and i honestly cant believe nobody talks about it.

Do you think we would be any less safe than we already are?

Not during Mays tenure but since the election of the Conservative party under Cameron......

Its starting to turn into a can of worms this....people were waiting two hours for ambulances on saturday night .......two fuckin hours whilst they lay on the pavement bleeding.

May summed it up .......enough is enough and by that I mean the cuts.

Oh and to top it off ..... the current government sell weapons to the Saudis so that they can wage war on the Yemenis and then (the hypocrisy of it) donates ~£80 million of taxpayers money for relief in Yemen

Its difficult to see how Labour can win enough seats off of the tories for the tories to lose the election. Most marginal tory seats had a significant UKIP vote in 2015 that should act as a buffer for them. Labour certainly havent targeted UKIP voters. Labour seem to have been targeting its own safe seats rather than tory marginals eg they've been chasing the student vote, most of whom live in safe labour seats. Their campaigning seems to have been focused on safe labour seats. The polls are predicting that the tories will increase their share of the vote, albeit by less than labour. But increased vote share doesnt usually lead to lost seats. And the tories are predicted to pick up a few seats in Scotland.

I expect Labour will significantly increase its share of the vote, significantly increase its majorities in the seats it holds, but not win many new seats.

This assessment is how I see the election panning out, apparently, on the doorsteps, Labour activists are not experiencing
this massive swing to Labour we're seeing everywhere. It looks like the Labour vote could dramatically increase in Labour
held territory, but let's see on June 9, we could both be wrong.

I really don't think they will. Many people still think (rightly so imo) that Labour will never be able to raise enough money to pay for all their pledges, no matter what it says in their manifesto.
 
I don't know what to do. I thought I did but I don't. I fucking hate the tories but do they have a more solid strategy when dealing with terrorists ? Is Corbyn too lax on this issue ? Yes he might help working class families which is good but what about defending our nation


I'm so torn.

Of course Labour can raise the money with a combination of tax increases and borrowing.

The world is awash with money and borrowing has never been cheaper.

You think they are less likely to do it under labour ? I want to know what actions he will take to prevent this happening ?

i hope not. imagine a coalition with labour, snp and the lib dems. brexit negotiations with 2 parties that want to stay in europe. that would be awful. i dont think we are anyway, the polls are all over the place. labour arent going to get anywhere in scotland, ukips vote will go to the tories. i think labour will win the same seats they always do.
