[Politics] The General Election Thread

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

So does Bojo actually understand his own NI customs deal or is he just praying that a lot of thick people will vote Tory?

The tory grift is to get uninformed people to vote against their own interests so yes.

A manifesto is only implemented IF a party is elected. You cannot break a manifesto promise if you are not elected, hence, Labour have not broken their manifesto promise from the 2017 election.

I would think most Labour Leave voters (3 - 4 million) voted on the understanding Labour would honour the referendum result as promised and their manifesto commitments if they had any ability to influence the outcome .... if you're happy with them gaining votes under false pretences (see lying) then fine.

Of course not, but, if your manifesto doesn’t win you the election, are you still honour bound to follow it even if it lost you the election?
If this is the case, why are parties not honouring their losing manifestos in perpetuity.


Labours election Brexit stance was voted for by the membership at conference.

Just the loons then not the moderates

Boris said he would die in a ditch on October 31 is we hadn't left the EU unfortunately his dying in a ditch turned out to be a lie also.

I won’t list the Tories lies and untruths so far in this campaign, as I have to work tomorrow morning, and I don’t want to be late.

Politicians huh? Who would ever believe it?

It had rather a large majority, so I expect it was moderates and loons who voted for it.

Thankfully he is by far the worst of the lying, mendacious politicians and there are many good ones who continue to put country before personal ambition or party and constantly challenge him.

About 85%?
That's very precise.... on what do you base that percentage?

Their actions and words. Make of the claim 85% whatever you like.

85% is your claim and I'm asking how you came to that figure..... It's a serious allegation and a large percentage so I wonder on what you base it.....

Dont expect it. Rivet has more flake than an Ice Cream van.

But JC didn't say that -he talked of their promises and manifesto commitments -you have just conveniently chosen to fuse both.

I don't know about you, but I'm so excited?! I'm just itching to know which complete, gammon saddo, excuse of a human being The Conservative & Unionist Party have put up for Hastings & Rye. Still no news though.

on the ground in Hastings, is the prediction of 10-13% vote for each of Brexit party and Liberals seem realistic?

What bizarre times we live in. Go back to the 70s/80s it would be right wing politicians claiming there were Russian influences on the left wing.

Fast for forward to 2019 and look what's happening the UK and the USA.

Bonkers.

The Russian report starts to leak....

"London (CNN)Russia's influence reaches deep into the British establishment and successive UK governments have turned a blind eye to it, lawmakers were warned, according to multiple sources familiar with testimony given to a parliamentary inquiry.

Members of the cross-party Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) were told that Moscow built up a network of friendly British diplomats, lawyers, parliamentarians and other influencers from across the political spectrum. One witness described the development as "potentially the most significant threat to the UK's institutions and its ways of life," according to testimony seen by CNN."
