General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Ban-jani]

Farage has said on that London radio station they aren’t getting a penny back.

Day light robbery.

 

[mcfc1632]

Onanist!

I will leave you to whatever gives you most satisfaction

 

[mcfc1632]

"Get Brexit done" is equally as nauseous and it won't be done.

Whataboutism?

 

[Chippy_boy]

3000 people paid £100 each to be considered as candidates.
All trousered by the Brexit Company.

Be reasonable, Farage has got his Bentley to pay for.

 

[mcfc1632]

Laughable the attempts to suggest we are voting for an American healthcare system if we dont vote Labour it really is.

Same with the greens saying the end of the world is nigh if we dont vote for them.

You guys really do have to do much better than peddle scare stories.

It appears all they have got

Thought that’s what the issue was , so those comparing it with other parties candidates deposits are talking about something different to the Farage con trick.

 

[Ban-jani]

On a serious note i dont think many of us actually appreciate the financial cost to candidates of running?

We don’t but despite these candidates supporting a total cretin and positioning themselves on a single policy of destroying the UK economy, I can’t help but feel sorry for them being totally ripped off.

They obviously believe in the turd but he doesn’t have the right to fuck them over.

I was talking generally and about ALL candidates for all parties.

Between £30-£40k they estimate on a campaign.

Oh, OK.

Candidates don’t put that up though, surely not?

 

[blueinsa]

Oh, OK.

Candidates don’t put that up though, surely not?

They do, yes.

 

[Ban-jani]

They do, yes.

Sheesh.

What if you have no chance ?

I can’t imagine the Labour candidate who gets less than 10% in my constituency puts that money up.

 

[jay_mcfc]

Is it true the Tories are not going to release their manifesto until two weeks before Dec 12th? If so it just proves that they’ve learnt nothing from the last campaign and they’re still so arrogant that they believe they can fool the public. They’re in big, big trouble.

 

[blueinsa]

They’re in big, big trouble.

They're not.

Could be if Corbyn and McDonnell where nowhere near the leadership of the opposition but sadly, they are.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Yes

indeed

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Oh, OK.

candidates have to put up £500 which they get back if they get over 5% of the vote.

 

[jay_mcfc]

They're not.

Remember when the remain campaign was criticized for going on and on about the negative aspects of leaving the EU without offering a comprehensive argument in favor of staying? This is what’s happening with the Tories. There’s only so many times they can campaign on ‘Jeremy Corbyn’ before it starts to fall on deaf ears. A big part of Labour doing well last time was that their manifesto and campaign was full of hope whilst the Tories was torrid. They are, stupidly, going down the same road and making the same mistakes.

Whats wrong with this campaign is that we have adopted American attack style politics right across the board.

No one willing to stand by their own policies but would rather trash the oppositions and dish the dirt.

They are all at it, all as guilty.

Its falling on more and more deaf ears.

Labour advocates trashing Tories, bizzarely enough doesn't make me want to vote Labour.

It makes them look petty, frightened and weak.

You can't compare the Tories and Labour on this? Labour have released and campaigned on loads of policies. The only Tory policies I know are 456 new hospitals and a 9.6billion quid a year income tax cuts for those on 50-80k a year.
