General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Ancient Citizen]

Tactics didn’t work? Happy Independence Day... oh!

Meanwhile normal people can see what’s happening. Female moderates leaving two by two on a daily basis. This is Boris’ party now. ERG in the cabinet, women not welcome and deals with the BXP.

If you’re a traditional Labour voter and you vote for this Tory government then good luck to you. You will need it.

Female remainers mate, and male remainers, if you're objective, you'll know why.

I would suggest the answer to that is probably Brexit.

Some might change their minds when they see the manifestos but I bet the vast majority of the population never actually read them anyway.

Yeah it’s obviously Brexit but I just can’t get my head around people not reading manifestos before voting. At least with other parties though, you have a history and knowledge of what said party’s position has been on defence, education, health etc. etc. The Brexit Party have never blurted a single word out other than ‘no deal Brexit’.

What’s people predictions?

I think loads of seast will change hands, but most likely we’ll be roughly where we are now, overall, with the only conceivable majority being for the Tories, which wouldn’t shock me - unless it was a large one. Labour haven’t got a chance imo.

I reckon a lot of people are underestimating the potential impact of the youth vote. If they can be arsed voting!

The worst possible outcome can be relied on, a Tory/Farage axis with a sufficient majority to engineer a crash out Brexit FTA plus the Labour Party disembowelled and replaced by Libdem spacewasters.

I struggle to think how people can be sure without seeing a manifesto and even more so the fact that 6 people have ticked the Brexit Party at the top of this page where they only know what one policy is.

How in the hell can you decide to vote for a party that you only know one policy for?

same as the Lib Dems?

Empathy with fascists? No, not really.

have you ever met a fascist though, in the flesh I mean rather than in your cranial pathways?

There are others offering an outright remain though and that will appeal to some remainers more than a 2nd ref.

Not if they’ve got a brain cell between them. There is absolutely zero chance of Lib Dems getting anywhere near enough seats to influence a revoke. If Jo Swinson gets her head out of her arse she should pull candidates out of Labour contested areas so that Labour get the power to offer a second ref. If we end up leaving on Boris’s deal because of her it will kill the Lib Dems.

 

[Ban-jani]

there are plenty of people who know who they are voting for already and won’t even pick up a manifesto and won’t need to.

you know the type, my dad voted labour all his life , so have I . I Will always vote labour.

insert tory to above sentence as appropriate.

I reckon over half the electorate are already in that place, nothing will change their mind.

Yeah it’s sad but I get that. As I’ve said above though, at least you know what you’re getting pretty much, without a manifesto, with Labour and the Tories. There’s zero history and zero suggestion of what the Brexit Party’s policies will be to taxes, the NHS, defence, education, law and order etc.

I appreciate Brexit is a big point for people but Jesus Christ, at least have some knowledge about what you’re voting in.

She’s not going to because in her own words ‘Jeremy Corbyn isn’t fit to be Prime Minister’.

It's bizarre that she's so passionate about stopping Brexit yet her position will almost certainly guarantee it happens.

 

[Ban-jani]

same as the Lib Dems?

How is it the same as the LibDems in anyway shape or form?

Terrible point that George.

The LibDems have had manifestos every year and have policies in place if they were elected.

They also have them listed on their website.

Can you name a single Brexit Party policy other than No Deal?
