General Election June 8th

[hilts]

That doesn't alter the fact that nearly all MPs mainly vote according to their party whip, not what's in the best interests of their constituents.

Don't get me started on party fucking whips

If tonight turns into a clusterfuck for Labour (tory majority of, say, 60+), would Corbyn's position be under threat? Would he walk?

But voters vote based on that whip.

We need a reformed system to mitigate corruption though with more checks and balances, that is a definite. And the house of lords is utter bullshit, rich vs. poor form of control - remnant of feudalistic society.

 

[SWP's back]

fuck me swp, it was May's job to sort security. Her fucking job, what she got paid for, had power with and could have made a difference for the last 6 years. What the fuck has she done to make us all feel more secure ? Go on tell me. Her fucking job.

Do you feel less secure?

Who is in charge of transport? More people killed on the roads in the last month than in terror attacks in the last 12 years.

She's already said she will change the laws so that some of those on the watch list could be prosecuted.

No thats not me,i'm a labour member but i can't vote for corbyn and they are so far behind the tories here that it really won't matter anyway

JDI kaz.
Vote for your Local Labour MP then not Corbyn.
Tories are going to win but the % share of the national vote will be important, so every vote counts.

But voters vote based on that whip.

So voters don't elect someone to represent their best interests in Parliament?

It's more that older people haven't grown up with social media so aren't as connected to it.

I certainly think social media is changing things people overate the effect of newspapers and tv as influences but you would be surprised how many older folk use the internet. My mother is 70 and she is on social media a lot more than me simply because she has time. It's not a young persons game anymore.

All Tory voters were young once and just like the last election you don't get many getting vocal over them. I don't think as a party they are liked much. I'm amazed that labour doesn't take advantage. Blair did briefly.

Social media is predominantly inhabited by the young and the young predominantly vote Labour

Generally, yes, but on my FB it's mainly mid-30's and older yet plenty say they're voting Labour.

He'll be too old by the next one, it's now or never to kill these fox hunting, pensioner murdering, poor depriving cunts

Why do you think % of national vote is that important?
