If he was democratic he would have voted for the General election , nice try, he's another undemocrstic loon who didn't like the Brexit result but then you knew that :wink:

Nope. there were perfectly valid reasons to object to the calling of the election at that point in time - principally because it was designed to PREVENT parliamentary evaluation / debate of the government's negotiated withdrawal agreement.

But you knew that already.

I am genuinely interested to know how many Labour supporters on here with DC pension schemes/financial investments realise how much the value of their savings will drop if JC gets in?

Help me to see what I am not seeing. If I was forced to reapply for my job as a result of re-structuring, I may still want my job. I may not have wanted the re-strcuturing itself but if it's happening I would have no choice. I can't see how that is hypocritical.

I think that if you make such harsh statements about CL then you should explain to us. I wouldn't just accept what you say without reason. IF you could give those reasons without citing politicallly biased media that would be even better.

Both Peter Kyle and Caroline Lucas are wanted by their constituents, but people with twisted logic only understand a dictatorship, where all the good little people do as they're told, and don't step out of line.

I'm genuinely interested in the lottery numbers for this weekend, if you have those too?

Alternative scenario: Labour / coalition win = second referendum = remain = huge confidence boost in the economy = financial investments rise significantly.

Yes.

Live in Hove or Portslade?
Think leaving the EU is a terrible idea?
Not a fan of Corbyn, but like the idea more than Boris?
Want your vote to count?
Like a having a highly regarded proper local consistuency MP?

There’s only really one choice

And the Conservative candidate has been backed by Michael Gove, which must have been a real boost to Peter Kyle's chances,

Some, not as learned as your good self, might apply the same 'lottery numbers' future prospects to longer term Brexit prosperity also.

All I know is that there was a small band of disruptive MP's working on their own agendas of which Lucas and Kyle were two of them sums up Brighton and a lot of those types on here :wink:

Indeed.
I also wonder how many of the more vociferous Labour supporters on here will benefit from public sector pensions .

I live in a different constituency now than I did in 2017, as a result who I will be voting for is different to who I would vote for if I was in the same place.

Interesting, that. I live in a very strong Lab constituency so do I go with the masses again or stay true to myself? What seems to be a bit intriguing is how many people, on either side, research how to vote tactically, if that is an option for them.

All MPs have their own party and personal agendas.

Kyle and Lucas are opposition MPs. It is their JOB to 'disrupt' / counter / oppose government policies with which they disagree. :shrug:

Well, yes, they might.

Predicting the future isn't going to ever be an exact science. All the EVIDENCE suggests you're completely wrong, but yes 'long term Brexit prosperity' is a possibility (beyond JRM's '50 years of pain' obviously)

I'm not sure the implication "only poor people vote Labour" stands up. Something more inclusive than we have now is a preference for voters too?

If Labour win a majority at the next election, (unlikely yes), the shares markets will properly spike. Traders aren't stupid and they know that the chances of avoiding decades of economic turmoil has improved. Happy to bet with you on this

Barring the obvious one (Brexit), which of their policies are you particularly keen on?

If there are people such as yourself who really, really think the stock market and £ will rise on a Corbyn victory, then it worries me that he might actually get in.

You're right, traders aren't stupid. They'll be shorting the shit out of anything in the market with a UK taint....

Can't vote Tory or Brexit because we've so utterly ****ed the whole process of leaving the EU we may as well stay in. I can't vote Labour because I think they genuinely haven't got a clue under Corbs and they're not unified at all. Even harder for me to vote for the Lib Dems after they betrayed my entire generation in 2010. So yea, I know I have to vote in what is probs the most important GE in my lifetime so far that I am able to vote in, but good grief what awful choices.

I think someone mentioned it elsewhere, but in this particular instance many folks are voting with Brexit in mind (hence the amount of 'tactical' voting.

Policies and manifestos are generally b0ll0x and ignored anyway.

Therefore, and I may be mistaken, some folks will only be interested in one element of the BP.
