[Politics] The General Election Thread

[jessiejames]

Genuine question, does this Corbyn audience, influence the millions of swing voters sitting at home? Either way?

Do smug, overtly biased students, shouting and interrupting, counter-intuitively piss people off? It’s not just an anti-Tory thing, Swinson was booed, accused of being right wing of all things, interrupted, treated like a sack of shit.

No, but it's making me not want to Labour.

I don't like the man, but he does have balls of steel.

A plausible man. A charming man. A very dangerous man.

He must be stopped.

That goes to both of them. What a conundrum.

dont know if its sound quality but Johnson seems to mumble through his answers.

The audience bias has become staggeringly (but unsurprisingly) obvious..........worst case being the Corbyn plant that defended his ‘stance’ (or lack of stance) on Brexit which is now trending on Twitter as the ‘defining moment’ of the campaign.

No idea.

Incidentally, Alfredmizen used to start his posts quite often with 'genuine question'.

I hope you haven't caught 'Breitbartiensis purpura' (aka Tommy Robinson disease)

Only kidding

Boris is a serial blustering bullshitter.

Oven ready. Bingo!

It's good to see Johnson's lies repeatedly pulled up by the audience. Disappointing that we've become so unused to seeing politicians held to account by facts that some claim it's evidence of bias.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

At the end Boris received warm applause, some whooping and no booing.

So, no, this was not a biased audience, I don't think.

Interesting exercise. But where were the greens?

Corbyn won that by a country mile. Think we’ve seen the turning point of this election

Dream on fella. Its more a case of 'ooh that nice funny fat man is a much better choice of PM than the bloke that used to be in the IRA'.

Not convinced personally............audience seemed to be mostly sycophantic Corbynistas,and Bruce interrupted Johnson far more than she did the others (possibly because he avoided the most questions and was his usual blustering self). Didn’t really learn anything from that to be honest (other than Swinson is useless) so still massively on the fence.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Labour = sit on the fence, SNP =Scottish independence ,Lib Dems =cancel brexit , Torys = Brexit ,move on nothing else to see, all to the Ballot box

I think there were a range of all parties and schism's present there tonight but the failure of Johnson to answer straight questions caused the audience to shout and interrupt rather than an anti Tory thing. Very poor performance by Johnson, had some difficult questions that he struggled to dodge and he genuinely looked ill at ease in front of the audience.

Off the cuff flannel and bluster is supposed to be his USP but it failed to spark tonight, he looked flustered and out of his depth.

ps - sorry, I just saw I posted the same thing twice.

As someone who plagiarised some of my work years ago said to me when I called him out: "It was too good to edit".
