General Election June 8th

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I thought that when the election was announced

However, given the Tories arrogance, their austerity record, May's general contempt for debating and, to top it all 'change Human Rights legislation'. What the fuck!

She spoke about the 'Brexit Election', yet no one is really any clearer on what to expect (I voted leave). She also seems to have a aversion to criticising Trump e.g climate change and Sadik Khan Tweets

Then, on top of all that, I thought about 5 more years of the Conservative Party in government......

they can't give a definitive answer on brexit though, because we've still got negotiations. however she has said we are aiming to leave the single market and basically have a hard brexit. thats more then enough for me. i voted leave and i dont trust that under labour we will fully leave.

Im a bit like you. I like some of labours policies. if we could get a mix of the two parties that would be great ...

I can honestly say I hate & despise the tories more than Man United. Aneurin Bevin was bang on back in 1940 something or other when he described them as lower than vermin.

I feel exactly the same about Corbyn and his crowd.

Then is VAT a regressive or a progressive tax and why might an incoming Labour government want to decrease one and increase the other?

Keep going, you're looking increasing stupid after i've answered you 4 times, or is it 5.

But please go again...

@Chippy_boy and @The perfect fumble - take it to PMs please lads. It's getting a bit tedious reading the constant bickering.

Four times as many people chose to watch Britain's got Talent, instead of the first TV debate with Paxman, Corbyn and May. Says it all really.

Indeed it does.

Aside from the bickering - what are the polls currently saying?

If I could just interject for a moment please.
This thread has been a brilliant read and now sadly with the end in sight must come to it's final fruition.
All good things and that.

I have learned lots and what I could not glean I simply asked Jeeves and so my political knowledge base has grown immensly.
Enough for me to now make an educated vote tommorow instead of just saying I work int mill own a ferret and am voting Labour.
Or I like shrubberies and hate greenhouse gas so shall vote Green.
Or I vote Conservative as May is for stability personal responsibility hard graft morals and the importance of family life home ownership and our national security.

I have also learned lots of new sweary words and debating nuanaces.
So what is it going to be tommorow lads.
Is it red or blue for you ?
Will Fumble and Boy agree to disagree or end up making the Perfect Chip
An incredible 800 plus posts.

I think from all the contingencies on here the conservative lads have edged the debate.
But the labour lads have shown a passion to be poud of and maybe just maybe with Diane having to stand down through ill health they may make it past that winners post.This is politics and all is possible as Brexit has shown.Nothing cast in stone so do venture out and draw of your cross.

Here are two music tracks for both main parties.
If not appropriate moderation then please move to our Juke Box.
Well done one and all and have a nice cup of tea taking time of course to compose yourselves.
Cometh the morrow cometh the man.

For labour..



For Conservatives.
