Appreciate others see it differently, such as Neville Southall, who seems to have changed a little since the last time I saw him play against the Albion, but I cannot put my finger on it.

he's lost the moustache

Greens aren't opposing Labour in KT and vice versa in Pavilion and Kyle has a strong and stable local support against a nut job Tory who has offended a lot of people

Where's the hope when it means a bigger debt. It will be us that pay for it

According to the Tory manifesto we are already paying off this debt til 2025 ! so what's a little bit more ?

No, according to the Tory Manifesto, we will START paying off the debt in 2025. No idea when they expect it to be paid off. But they initially said that we'd start paying it off in 2015, so my faith in their economic forecasting is not high.

Can't vote Tory. Can't vote Labour with Corbyn as leader, probably would with Miliband (D). Would never vote UKIP or BNP. Little point voting Green or Lib Dem. Can't not vote.

I'm buggered basically.

Oh you are not. Go to your Polling Station collect your paper and SIMPLY DO WANT YOU WANT WITH IT.

Labour are running in Pavilion.

Kyle is a traitor to Corbyn and a war monger:

corbyn plans 'mandatory re-selection of mp's if he winds fresh leadership mandate

The Labour Party has always been known as 'a Broad Church', respecting many views, so why would Corbyn want that?

Because Labour are going to change their name to Momentum and follow their rules.

 

[Weststander]

Because Labour are going to change their name to Momentum and follow their rules.

But Corbyn more than anything respects dissident views and free speech. He voted hundreds of times against the Labour Party Whip during his long career as a Parliamentarian.

He surely won't change that principle now, to oust opposing voices.

The problem is that UKIP have stood aside in both of these. In KT there was 4500 UKIP votes in 2015 and in hove there was 3500. Peter Kyle won with just a 1200 majority in 2015, so add on a load of those UKIP votes and it is going to be tough. Hopefully a lot of the UKIP voters just won't turn up if there isn't a candidate.

Edit: However Greens have also stepped aside in KT and they had 3200 votes in 2015, so that helps the cause a bit. LD haven't and they had 1400. If Tories win KT by less than the amount of votes that LD get, I suspect some people will be very annoyed.
Greens and LD are both running in Hove and combined they got about 5500 votes in 2015.

Well if this UKIP voter doesn't turn up as per your wish then Kyle will be one vote down.

Was talking yesterday to one of Peters team, they are far more active than Adam's team by a country mile, I suggested that they had clearly done well in th area as all I see is PK window posters, her reply was they were concerned that there are not as many as they would want based on the fact that who does everyone else vote for?
