[Politics] The General Election Thread

Doubling the National Debt since 2010 is peanuts? right oh.

Which will be trebled by labour so your point is

Have you seen what the Tories want to do to get a trade deal with the USA? Pharmaceutical companies are rubbing their hands with glee.
I really hope nobody in your family needs medicine on a regular basis or use the NHS a lot.

Ps I am not a Labour voter.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Is that the same LD party that promised not to introduce student fees and the went back on that in party with Mr Blair. Yep you can really trust them

Yep, I must say that dwarfs anything the Tories have done, like - oh - creating a border down the Irish Sea and threatening the existence of the Union, illegally proroguing Parliament, 10 years of austerity failure and splitting the country with 3 years of Brexit bullshit. But - yeah - keeping on banging the student fees drum like it's the political equivalent of the Holocaust.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Lewes District Council and Norman Baker.

Nor am I but I used to be. You believe everything you read? Still chucking out the scare stories. Let's see if it happens which it won't

That's peanuts to what Corbyn and co will do, so many promises and so little money. I wonder what they will do

Who has managed to double our debt in 9 years?

Though at the recent conference a certain leader claimed it was now eliminated all together, though unsurprisingly was not reported by any of the right wing press..

Project Fear as usual from the Tories

 

[Bulldog]

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

Too late PS. Boris has found the entire fu"£$%g orchard.

As you are happy to do with regard to Labour.

Perhaps you could enlighten us how they did that between 1997 and 2008? Global financial crisis did for the next 2 years.

Really! Tories have been making expensive pledges non-stop since Johnson became leader, while also promising to cut taxes (thus reducing government revenues to pay for extra spending) - yet as always, you Tories only slag-off 'economically illiterate' Labour.

 

[kevo]

It’s on!!

9th December or 12th December but looks like an early Christmas present for all of us.

How are you going to vote and is your vote purely on Brexit or other issues too??

You need to add the Brexit Party to this poll. Not as though I'd vote for them, but they will have an influence.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Too early to decide, but likely to be Lib-Dem as a tactical anti-Tory vote, which is what I have done in every election since I moved to where I now live 35 years ago.

It's confirmed by the BREXIT attitude rather than dictated by it, but is far more about other things.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Wouldn't be surprised if he bottled it in Uxbridge, our serial liar at real risk

No, he's looking at Sevenoaks. Nicholas Soames is one of the ten Johnson needs back in the fold.

He's not standing this time.

Do you mean "with Mr Cameron"?

If I vote Lib Dem is only increases the chances (albeit small) of the Tories over turning Labour. It's a "only very slightly" marginal where the Tories bash it out with Labour, but there has only ever been a Labour MP and the current one is locally born and VERY popular.

Unless I vote Labour, I will have absolutely no effect on the election result.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

whats wrong with calling it a second referedum?

Because it isn't a second referendum. People aren't necessarily going to vote just on BREXIT. I certainly won't.

 

[Wallace]

Brexit party, the major parties can go **** themselves after the way they have treated the electorate since the referendum.

Confirmed as retiring.

We have a Conservative MP, who is actually quite liberal - although there have been a number of boundary changes over the years. But there has been a history of Liberal MPs in Winchester, and our constituency was very heavily Remain in the Referendum - 59% to 41% roughly.
