The Post General Election Thread

[Rascal]

France were in a similar position to us when the coalition came into power, only they voted in a socialist government. Since then, the coalition has created more jobs in Yorkshire alone than France has created and our unemployment rate is half of theirs. In their most recent elections, they've replaced that socialist government with a right wing alternative. So why would they have done that if the socialist approach is better and is at least as adept at improving the economy as the right wing method of narrowing the public sector?

Dearie me....been reading the Mail have you?

, it's tough in the private sector, my choice I know, any increase in public sector wages would have no effect on mine.

Nonsense

Have you ever heard of the economic multiplier effect?

The only reason in the private sector you would not get a rise is because of greedy bosses paying crap wages and cutting costs whilst relying on corporate welfare to fill up there Cayman Island bank accounts.

Dont blame the public sector grafters, blame your greedy bosses.

I don't know.Yourself maybe? Poor life choices? That's the Tory narrative for the poor, so maybe we should spread it around a little.

Nope, just come to that conclusion based on my reading around of the subject, just like PB came to his by doing the same. Just he reached a different conclusion.

Care to answer any of the points I made though? If France were following the socialist economic ideal, why is their economy worse than the UK's?

its May 2020 and the country is in the middle of an election frenzy. who will get in, who will lose their deposit, will Nigel quit again.nobody has a clue.

what we do know is rascal, pb and all the other sore losers will still be stamping their feet demanding a recount. its funny as fuck. i'll be near 66 by then so i wont give a fuck but i almost want a labour win (as if) just to shut the fuckers up. i mean fuck me what will they be like if the tories get a third term. ha ha. that is a "must see".

If Labour win in 2020 this place will be like RAWK with the right wingers whingeing. There's been a fair amount of projection going on from the wingers (it is a right wing trait) with many of the RWNJs accusing lefties of the kind of behaviour that they themselves indulge in.

I particularly like the raggy comments when the RWers have been crowing like Rag Cafe after the vermin have won the derby with a 158th minute Rooney shinner with City down to 8 men.

I don't see any crowing or gloating. don't think the right wingers on here would even mention the result unless asked.

please also note that this thread was in fact started by a commie.
