General Election June 8th

[Prestwich_Blue]

Well just over 12 hrs till the polls open is there any real incling if you constituency will change hands.


Heard today Ivan Lewis could lose his seat in bury south, but bury north could swing from blue to red.
Here in gorton the libs seem to have given up and are putting everything behind winning withington instead.

Speaking to a Bury South Labour Party member & good friend of Ivan's and he was convinced that they're going to lose the seat. The main problem is probably Corbyn's weakness on dealing with anti-semitism in the party. Shame really. He's a nice enough lad but not the most dynamic of personalities. I'm not in Bury South anymore but if I'd been him, I'd have campaigned on the basis that regardless of how people might feel about Corbyn, a Jewish MP is a necessity to speak on matters affecting Jewish people.

Well time is here, I urge all to vote labour, some won't and that's there choice, but our country needs better than may, boris, fallon, hammond etc, they have failed and don't deserve the rigth to be in government again

It's pissing down that never bodes well for a turnout, bit that 12million that didn't vote last time, get off your lazy arses and do it, and if you don't like any party spoil the ballot, but at least participate.

As Shelly once wrote

Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many they are few.

Vote Labour

The UK deserves better than the politicians we have across the board. Our country is stuffed full with clever, good, principled people. Why do so few of them go into politics?

If Labour don't win, is Jeremy Corbyn toast? hard to imagine him leading a campaign in 5 long years when the guy is very old right now..

Probably go back to been a backbencher Canary.

Sir Keir Starmer is the man on everyone's lips right now. Very popular figure.

I'm not voting, they are all lying cûnts.

The student union movement is hilarious.. they are literally going crazy for Corbyn.. god knows why ! never seen anything like it before.. social media is very pro-Labour too

most hilarious tweet was a Conversative saying that anyone voting Labour is giving money to lazy benefit scroungers to Bankrupt Britain LOL !

so they have the young person's vote, but will the infamous Tory Silent Majority (who you an always rely on to get out and vote no matter the season/weather) stop the celebrations?

Either way, if Jeremy Corbyn is elected, the onus is on the Students and Union if it all goes tits up we know who to blame !!

LOL yeah I voted on Brexit, but can't say I'm going to the polling station this time with the same vigour or enthusiasm that it matters much this time.. not as exciting as telling Brussels to Suck It !

That's why I'm voting UKIP.. not going to change the result much, but support for UKIP will keep the pressure on whoever is in charge to deliver Brexit the people voted for.

Well as she appointed him to be Brexit Secretary because of his negotiating skills (former Europe Secretary under Major) I think any change is unlikely.

The sad thing is, this election should really have nothing to do with Brexit at all. It's either five years of austerity and cuts to public services or not quite as much austerity and not quite so many cuts to public services. It's some people paying more tax or it isn't. Any Brexit deal will be decided by business and 27 other countries. In essence, we will get the deal that Germany and France are prepared to give us, whoever is in charge. The only thing that is certain, is that there is no deal worse than 'no deal'!

If he doesnt then god help us all, that said would the PLP someone select an equally incompetent leftie.

This election leaves me cold. This is the worst Tory party and Tory leader for years, even IDS was more convincing yet despite encouraging polls for Labour I see nothing other than an increase in Tory majority. If I'm right he has to go, Starmer would be an excellent replacement, as IMO would Dan Jarvis or Hillary Benn, either way, if/when the electorate rejects this latest brand of hard left politics they absolutely must not repeat the mistake.

Of course there is
