General Election June 8th

[SWP's back]

That's not exactly what you claimed, though. That shows that UK growth was better than the EU average. What you claimed was that it was the strongest of any country in Europe.

Which is it over that period

 

[SWP's back]

If we were occupied, as they see it, would you do what you could to get independence?

Some counties in NI that are majority republican should be part of Ireland in my opinion.

I wouldn't blow up civilians like a fucking ****.

I would probably go for self-determinism and political solutions, much like they themselves realised was a better idea, but only after thousands died on both sides.

I agree with you, as bullets were flying around my head and my mates were getting wounded, I wanted revenge. However diplomacy is the only way.

It's a bit desperate electing a leader that supports the IRA and Hamas, if he was elected, god forbid

Worse than one that supports and does trade deals with a monarchy that helps fund ISIS and other terrorist organisations ?

 

[inchy14]

I'm fully aware of that, hence why I put unelected in speech marks. So why did she call the GE?

I assume to get a larger majority and which would give her more power over any back bench rebellion form remainers in her party, looks like she's fucked it up though going off here.

Where were you when Blair and Brown were doing the same? And all those before them?

What will Corbyn do if he's elected? Refuse to deal with them? How much will that take out of his costings or will he just plant another money tree?

No leader is going to stop trade with Saudi as much as we can all agree the Saudi leadership are a huge bunch of cunts.

 

[RACHACE]

Me looking at the various parties policies and taking a little interest in how the leaders of each parties come across does beg the question as to whether I should vote or not. I have hardly any experience or knowledge of politics and generally have little interest in politics. Therefore should someone like me be able to influence the voting process?

Of the traditionally big 2 parties I do prefer the sound of what Labour are offering but then when I hear Jeremy Corbyn speak, I can't help but feel that we cannot be lead by him for some reason. He comes across a bit weak and I could imagine stronger leaders or characters from other countries taking the piss out of him.

I didn't vote on Brexit because I had no idea either way which was the better route to take. My stance is that I'll try my best to ensure that myself and my family are provided for either way so whatever happens, happens there. I had no strong feeling to stay or leave the EU.

Seriously, do people think that citizens like myself are best maybe not voting and leaving it to people who at least take a keen interest in politics?

"He comes across a bit weak and I could imagine stronger leaders or characters from other countries taking the piss out of him".
And you see as Theresa May as strong and stable?
Money well spent on the add agency, sound bites, reality is she has antagonised our partners in Europe and they have all the power over trade deals. We will end up with no deal and a lot worse off for it.

 

[bluethrunthru]

Have to say that May has run the worst campaign in living memory. Comes across as absolutely clueless and dodging the debates has been a disaster for her.

has she ordered her Ed Stone for the number 10 garden then?

 

[cibaman]

My money is on a Labour coalition government.

If corbyn's a couple of seats short of being able to form a coalition perhaps Sinn Fein's MPs wil take their seats at Westminster to get him over the line

You know that will not happen. Its just not acceptable that people are trying to portray Corbyn as some sort of terrorist, when I fact he would be prepared to go the extra mile to prevent terror activities.

The extra mile, like not being prepared to order the assassination of a terrorist with concrete evidence he was about to launch an attackebin 20minutes. Like voting against every piece of terror legislation in the last 30 years? The guy is extreme left as you will find just that he hasnt actually put a lot of what he believes in his manifesto because he would never get elected in a million years.

It's like voting for a far right extremist who just happens to not put his extreme beliefs in his manifesto in order to get elected Doesn't change the fact that he still holds those extreme beliefs. Do we really want an extremist in any side of the political divide in charge of this country?

I agree with what you say but whatever anyone thinks about their history, Sinn Fein are not a terrorist organisation. I don't for one minute think they would take their seats at Westminster but if the scenario arises and they are the difference between the Cons being in or out it makes for an interesting debate to see what they would do.

School

at least make an effort to cut off the funding and try and create dialogue about their human rights, not turn a blind eye because we can profit from some oil deals.

 

[Chris in London]

You can't say she isn't very clear.

She isn't very clear. She's Theresa.

Do we have to go through all that again?

They will not attend Westminster, they refuse to accept it, they will not be part of any "British" institution.

Just an organisation that are ran by terrorists then?

While that sounds great and is what would happen in an ideal world, we unfortunately don't live in one, the billions they give us ensures we don't upset the apple cart so to speak. It's money we could probably ill afford to lose out on and it'll be part of Corbyns budget whether he likes it or not.

They were the political wing of the IRA, hence the close relationship between Adams and McGuiness.

 

[jonmcity]

People will make up their own mind, however I do not believe he is extreme left. He is left of centre. I would prefer a leader who was centre. The conservatives will ensure hardship for the majority to favour the few. I agree with him on Nuclear weapons, although this is not party policy. What are we doing spending 130 billion on nuclear weapons, when we cant look after the old and disabled to live a decent standard of life. We don't have the police resources to keep us safe, but we have the money to waste on weapons that are not keeping us safe from the current threat of Daesh.
