To vote for the Tories after all those cuts affecting the poorest, disabled and most vulnerable in our society doesn't suggest you have much of a heart now does it? And in terms of a brain. Folk on here keep repeating how the Tories are the best candidates to bring about stability and see us through the mess of Brexit. It was the Tories whom created the instability by calling for a referendum in the first place. They did that based on the instability of their own party anti -EU contingent. They've also nearly tripled the national debt meaning the austerity cuts were nothing but malicious. Now tell me again how you can have a heart and vote Tory and a brain given it was they whom caused the Brexshit mess we are now in - that and tripling the national debt. It's complete folly to vote Tory no matter how you look at it. That's not just my opinion, it's fact!

Your balanced, reasonable, fact based assessment of the situation has made me think again.

I'm going to vote for the Labour party now. Power to the people. Fucking tory scum.

Thanks comrade.

How would you have proposed the government not make cuts and not increase the national debt?

You can say the Tories created the Brexit problem but the people were asked and they voted to leave, that has nothing to do with the Tory party.

Obviously the poor and vulnerable need more help and protection and that is the one thing I cannot stand about the Tories but the answer is not Corbyn's gang. I don't want any of those things but I'm not willing to vote to impose a socialist government which will be at the expense of everyone.

If we had a centrist opposition which would do the above whilst retaining a careful approach to the economy, business, defence and everything else... They would absolutely wipe the floor of the clowns currently on both sides.

So the Tories have my vote purely because there is no other choice and it will finally get rid of the idiotic, self serving momentum mob currently running down Labour. Vote for Labour and it will lead to deselection of the current PLP hence preserving his position and allowing the Tories to do whatever they want for a decade.

The EU created the Brexit problem. If it wasn't a sack of shit we wouldn't have voted to leave.

It would be better for the country in the long run if Labour were wiped out at this election.

The Labour party would then be forced to sort it self out or a new centrist liberal democratic party could emerge.

It's not good for anyone if one party dominates because the official opposition is totally useless. Look at the Scottish Premiership.

That's because it's a given. Everyone already knows that the path to world peace is forged by the will of Labour.

Vote Labour; because if you don't, it means you hate people.

If any more than Tax and Spend Theresa who just intends to go straight to the source.... us - increase VAT and NI take from pensioners and now likely to offer owners of diesel cars some of my taxes to scrap them to get them out of a pollution hole. Your question is conjecture the only party who have effectively confirmed they will take money off us all is the Tories

I'd much rather be told that my taxes would be going up to pay for X, Y and Z than be told X, Y and Z would be introduced without the costs spelled out. How do you suppose Labour are planning to afford all of their promises?

Facts are that Tax and Spend Theresa just blanks the answer to the tax and NI question and the Pensions Triple Lock break up. Plus they are being FORCED to reveal the plan for pollution reduction before the election. The proposal being trailed in the press - ie softener for likely blow - is another scrappage scheme paid for by the taxes.

Do you really think taxpayers and pensioners will be happy with that?

personally I do not want any of my taxes going to diesel car owners to replace old cars for new ones - if anybody should get £2k of my tax for a new car its me - I paid the money in after all.

Sorry mate but Tax and Spend Theresa claims to lead the party of low taxation but wants to take OUR money - go figure.

Just to clarify Labour have never claimed to be the party of low taxation - Labour have already confirmed they think the tax take will rise and be paid for by big business and the richest - no hiding and no pretence that somehow preparing to raise taxes, NI and take money off pensioners somehow marks you out as the party of low taxation
 
Coalition of chaos.......... strong and stabe Government. Any chance of Sir Linton allowing Theresa to drop the mantra and say what manifesto she is standing on......?
 
White van man
Pensioners

The "working class" voters the Tories used to target.

They won't say if they will keep the pensions triple lock (They won't).

The chancellor sees self employed as the same cash cow as welfare claimants were under Gideon.

Teresa May is mirroring Gordon Brown on the election trail, yet the media are ignoring it. Keep bashing Corbyn, whilst licking UKIP's arse and ignire the Lib Dems and the Greens who have MP's.

Anyone who earns less than enough to be financially stable why the fuck do you vote Tory? Do you just follow what the media tells you? I do wonder....
 
Mr Hammers pledges look really smashing.
However Mr corbyn comes across as a dangerous individual that does not connect with anything that is quintisensialy English.
There is more chance of Corybnn becoming prime minister than me becoming a moderator of this Moons surface.
We shall see.

Eight pounds an hour you say ? Woopie doo !

They most certainly do. There is an argument often put forward on here that, in this country, you vote for either a known MP, or a particular party, but NOT for a Prime Minister. In the next breath, they tell you Jezza can't be trusted, he's not a leader and you can't vote for him. I wish they'd make up their minds! It's a given, that the only people who can vote for him, (Islington North) will vote for him.
Although, to be fair, this country looks like is on a never ending pathway up the yellow brick road and success is all but assured. To ensure it, we just need is strong and stable government........
