Current Affairs 2017 General Election

Its just talking leaflets so far.

Opening gambits mate to be expected.

I don't like the idea that only a few in this country are "wealthy". We are all extremely privileged to live here, and comparatively are extremely wealthy.

This is a theory that you would cease to believe in after spending five minutes looking through the window of an estate agents in Knightsbridge.

Tell that to the millions who need food banks mate. Doubt they will see it as a privledge

I said comparative wealth. I'm not wrong either.

Anyways, opening statements, what a waste of time.

Agreed surprised by snp maybe she is running scared of Corbyn too

They're more terrified then the Tories. The SNP have taken votes from Labour due to the party not being left-wing enough for a lot of Scottish people, they're crapping themselves at the prospect of losing loads of seats to Labour and even Ruth Davidson in the Scottish conservatives.

LOL MAY TOO SCARE TO FACE CORBYN NEVER MIND EU LEADERS

They at least have an excuse - Sturgeon isn't an MP and isn't standing at this election. Leanne Wood isn't either, but Plaid's MPs are the weakest crop they have ever had (Edwards especially) so you can't blame her for turning up.

I guess, technically, none of them are.

Well considering the swing in Wales to labour I can see it happening in Scotland so not a surprise.

The SNP don't really have an excuse to my mind. She's asking for votes (presumably from everyone, not just Scots), if she wants to be leader of a political party she should act like a leader and LEAD during debates.

"A massive crap growing"

Freudian slip haha

Corbyn, Nuttall, Farron, Rudd, Robertson and Lucas are standing to be MPs though.

Perhaps, though Robertson is a very accomplished speaker - he is often the person with the best lines at PMQs - and don't forget the SNP do not field candidates outside of Scotland.

Goodness, Rudd has shown more gusto in that rather waffly 10 second salvo than Theresa has shown all campaign haha

 

[ashwuk76]

Well if that audience is a cross section who vote for all parties the Tories are in trouble lots of clapping slating them
