[Politics] The General Election Thread

[beorhthelm]

re polls, the story isnt just the gap, the fact that Labour cant break through 30% means they'll be facing significant loses. if free porn doesnt deliver an upswing, i dont know what will.

Genuine LOL

You'd think even Boris would vote for that, just in case a certain type of thick, politically involved middle class bint suddenly becomes immune to his money, sorry, I mean charms.

The investigation into the affair is part of the misuse of public funds inquiry you absolute cone.

It is not just Heat magazine gossip.

Aaah, I see, could be serious if found guilty.

it will all go away

So what's the point then?

 

[Rodney Thomas]

apparently the Liberal Democrats, who want to run a fiscal surplus, less debt promised than the others and a tax rise for health spending. so that's good.

they also want to plant twice as many trees than the Conservatives. i dont know what Labour's promise on tree plantation is, they'll probably borrow a forest from somewhere. when the fudge did tree planting quantities become a political contest?

Since Mr. Beast made it so popular?

There isn't much to investigate over the previous affair, but he made assurances that he would disclose potential conflicts of interest in the future.

Problem is I don't think the Wolfie Smith wannabees will see that they lost because they went way too far left and will replace Corbyn with someone further left. Maybe a Weekend at Bernies style Karl Marx.

Post has just arrived. Nice to see the Green Party sticking to their principles. Instead of one pamphlet to the household they've decided to send THREE - personally addressed to each voter in the house .

On the plus side, your recycling bin will be fuller. Doing more for the environment.

Voters tend to vote individually rather than as a family. I know for certain if a tory leaflet was dropped through the door I would put it straight in the recycling without checking if my wife wanted to read it first. The greens are probably quite heavily targeting young voters who don't have 'control' of the generic household post.

Yeap, the Lib Dems start a lap ahead of Labour & the Tories as the UK will still be in the EU and won't walk away from the world's largest free trade area.

As project fear becomes reality just borrow, borrow, borrow or own up? Wonder which it will be..

That's a pretty poor excuse. If something is addressed to the household I leave it on the table for all to read. I struggle with the concept of the Green Party being green if they waste so many resources ( but then Lucas doesn't mind taking long haul flights ) - do as I say not as I do.

 

[Lever]

Labour will never win if not endorsed by the MSM.

....doesn't sound much like democracy to me then.

How many does she take a year, out of interest?

Does she offset her carbon?

If I remember from the article her phrase was "occasionally" …. not sure how many that means. The idea of offsetting your carbon is complete bollocks - the carbon has still been pushed out into the climate - it's just a way for those that produce carbon to make them feel good about themselves.

I imagine the Green Party's marketing strategy is probably to communicate with as many people as possible, rather than hope everyone adopts the WS "I let everyone in the household read anything addressed to the household" policy which you adhere to.

interesting reverse from Johnson, corporation tax cuts out in favour of NHS spending. no one saw that one coming.
