I'm genuinely hopeful that Labour can get a result on Thursday. I think it's close. If nothing else JC has given hope to a lot of people who were never interested in politics before. Even if Labour don't win I think it's the beginning of the end for May & the Tories.

Common sense, money tree, socialist utopia, live within our means, mortgage the future, economically illiterate, tighten our belt, nanny state, pie in the sky, bottomless pit....blah, blah, blah.

Or to paraphrase "I have a closed mind and am not interested in thinking".

Sums up your attitude on the entire thread if not the forum. It's a total waste of anyone's time seeking to debate with you. A waste of time.

We'd be better off arguing with a billboard. At least we wouldn't have to put up with the smartarse replies.

The Labour Lobbyists are out in force on the thread today I see. The backhander from Putin must be a good one.

Again, not fully factual this, is it?

its just my opinion, but the conservatives will win with an increased majority. i can't see it being the end of may either, they arent going to change leaders with brexit negotiations coming up.

Not quite as small as you think. The needle concerned was probably a small night gate into a big City. Jerusalem had them for example. A camel would have to be unloaded to get it though the small night gate.

We will see. I think the signs are there that May is on her way even if the Tories win the election. I'm not a betting man, but I don't think she will be PM this time next year. I think the election will be closer than some people think.
 
Your job description please

People want truth in politics and yet there are millions who are going to vote Labour on the basis of a whole load of promises all of which simply won't be deliverable - of course these people are hopeful. The Tories are trying to tell it how it is and the people get apoplectic.

£10 minimum wage, no student tuition fees, free childcare, no tax rises (other than for those who already pay the most and business) more wages for teachers, nurses, etc, more money for the NHS, schools, public services more generally.

Wow, it sounds bloody brilliant if you don't have the mental capacity to understand how it will all be funded. Of course their f'kin hopeful!

Like chippy there's a morbid part of me that wants Labour to get elected just to nail this socialist utopia once and for all, but then common sense kicks in when I think of the long term damage this would do and the fact that my little boy will have to pick up the tab Labour leave behind in the future.

Another fine example of the type of people Tory politicians are. Getting censorship of a guy's speech exposing her husbands vested interests and her own conflicts of interest.

This is the power of the net that THEY want to squeeze and WE have to resist. In the past these people got away with this sort of dealing but there is so much out there we all need to find and use to expose these shysters from all parties who are lining their own pockets at the expense of public office

So, how is it opposed if say the Tories win?

I genuinely fear for the open Internet and freedom of info, this is why I wanna vote for the Tony Benn clone.
But I feel we'd be better off economically with the Tories in power... I just don't want all this Internet censorship shit brought in.

I think Internet censorship as you call it is coming whoever gets in the people will demand it after the attacks as will the security forces. The tories will sell it better , labour will agonise and look weak and then, have the baying hounds of the press calling for corbyns knackers. Is my guess.
 
Two polls tonight that are miles apart. ICM/Guardian has an 11% (ELEVEN%) Tory lead and Suvation a 01% (ONE%) Tory Lead.
Interesting to note that the Guardian hasn't even published information about it's own poll. Leaving yesterdays Observer poll visible (6% Tory lead).

All predictions in terms of seats seem to range from May retaining her current majority or a bit above down to a hung Parliament.

Any of those results and May won't be in charge of the Brexit negotiations
