General Election - December 12th, 2019

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

When you actually look at how few people participate in some of these polls it's no wonder they all give wildly different results

Another gem. Carry on please, so absolutely no-one will take you seriously. Not that there are many left.

To quote a modern parlance " I am now living rent free inside your head " ?? TBF there is a hell of a lot of room !!

You think i'd debate anything like that rationally on here, given the current toxic environment?

Stating who you are likely to vote for, as an anonymous user on an Internet forum that is specified around football, whilst the majority of others on here have stated the same, isn’t putting you at risk mate.

My position is that if the Tories appointed Rory Stewart then in this climate they’d have secured my vote, as it stands they’ve gone for the populist lying toad that is Johnson... therefore I am going to vote to stop them and that option in my constituency is only possible via a LibDem vote, despite the fact I don’t particularly like them.

See easy.

Rent free should be banned as a phrase in online discussion

How are you measuring the economy as 6th biggest?

Educated guess based on the last time I checked at GDP tables. Feel free to mark it up or down :)

Possibly because the rhetoric started that right wing views are responsible for every evil on the planet, as the left also has it's fair share of horrors. It happened. Own it.

Or BOTH sides could just avoid this sort of lazy narrative that plagues these discussions and debate the policies each party is promising to deliver without resorting to using emotive language?

Own what? I'm not a hundred years old and from parts of Asia or Eastern Europe.

I'll talk about the politics of my own country in the time I've been alive and since we're talking about death by politics let's start with 130,000 of them caused by this current Tory government in the last decade. It somehow feels a bit more... relevant?

We're 7th now, slipping down the table post brexit quicker than the rags

What do you mean "profess"? Do you think everyone on a low wage is of some sort of hive-mind?

When you've got nothing you tend not to get attached to stuff lest it's taken from you. There is literally nothing else Parliament can take from me.

All I keep hearing is "the NHS needs more money". But the public doesn't have any money, and any attempts to take money from those who do have money, will see them leave the country anyway. If this allows the NHS to have more money it keeps claiming it needs, why is a sudden cash boost not to be welcomed?

You're potless and you want the nhs privatised? How will you pay your insurance premiums?

The Tories have directly murdered 130,000 people?

I assume you can back that up.

You say tis, yet since I went into the world of work, i've not noticed anything different in that regard.
Under Labour or the Tories, the stream of income has been the same. So neither have done a "bang up job" have they.

I mean I will hold you accountable if Labour get in and I find myself in the same situation. I expect to be swimming in other peoples cash, given to me by Corbyn and his pals by spring.

Well clearly someone isn’t doing a bang up job if your income stream is unchanged.

And yes I expect you will find someone else to blame if things don’t improve for you. I’ve noticed that ‘personal responsibility’ is not a feature of those on the Conservative right.
