[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Guinness Boy]

You think a local pole in an area already outside the main stream view in the south east points to something 'hung' Hmmmm, laughable. You live in a bubble I fear.

What's Pawel Jarwoscki got to do with anything? He's far too busy fixing my Kermit to be pointing to anything.

Voting Peter Kyle would not make me an antisemite and neither is he. Voting for a Dominic Cummings controlled PM is the danger for democrats.

Incredibly volatile election ahead.

I notice the Brexit party aren't included in the poll, unless the Tories campaign on "no deal" they ain't going away.

Who will you vote for on the 12 th of December ?

I am not an anti Semite so won’t be voting Labour.

So Labour voters are anti-Semite ?

 

[Eeyore]

Bookies are rarely wrong.

Will be a Conservative majority.

They were in 2017.

Quite a few people seem to be using the 'my local MP's great so I'm really just voting for them line'. But the last section of that article you posted sums it up well ...

Every vote for Labour is a vote for Corbyn. Every leaflet delivered is a two-fingered salute to British Jews. Every door knocked is a declaration: this is who I am and this is my tribe. You can campaign for Labour and vote for Labour without being an anti-Semite but in doing either you announce that you have reached an accommodation with anti-Semitism. Colluding in the organisation of politics against the Jews is worth it to get the railways renationalised.

It will be interesting to see how much press / air time Nigel gets.

Previously he/UKIP have had a disproportionate amount of press IMO, and with his party at around 10% in opinion polls you would expect a similar level of interest in what he has to say. However, this time I think he will struggle to get a platform.

I’m listening. What’s he got to say that’s different from the past? Can’t wait to hear it!

Wish there was the Brewster millions option “none of the above”.

They were in 2017.

So were the opinion polls, Laura Kuenssberg and Theresa May.

There's another poll going that has excluded CPFC's most famous son

I do not really want to vote Tory but feel I have no choice as the other options are even worse

It's the same old, but particularly that the Johnson deal isn't Brexit. I think he will struggle to get a platform, like he is used to, to voice that.

It's an opinion piece in a Tory magazine. It's hardly likely to give you reasons for voting Labour. Meanwhile, here are some other stories.

I think The Sun readers have already done enough damage.

Tory for me as Labour will ruin the economy with their Magic money tree promises

 

[whitelion]

Looking at the results in this poll which may possibly reflect on the GE result the possibility of a hung parliament is quite high.

I really don't think it'll solve the current impasse.

*sigh*

Do people not even look at the first page before posting?

Who will you vote for on the 12 th of December ?

Is this new one the 'People's Vote' ?
