Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[Blues Harp]

Our new stadium announcement?????

 

[ToffeeTim]

Got to be another election. Either that or she's announcing Wenger is leaving.

 

[DanEFC92]

Lukaku is signing the contract after all.

I think a Corbyn government on the whole would be better for the poor, sick and weakest amongst society, because he actually seems to have a shred of conscience about him

As you say, he's an idealist and I would probably not personally benefit from a Corbyn government, but I'm not benefiting under this Tory one either, so if I'm sodded either way, I might as well vote for the bloke whose going to help those worse off than me, rather than the woman who will keep stomping on them

Well said. Mikey.....

That's the mistake you are making. He probably would make things better in the short term - but the debt he'd take on to do it would cripple everyone in the long term. He'd start heavily taxing business too, making the whole economy shrink, with the view of "robbing the rich to feed the poor". It's student union politics that doesn't work in the real world.

Not only that, as a Marxist, he's already shown a worrying inclination to close ranks and develop an inner-circle pseudo-dictatorship when under pressure.

He'd be a disaster.

If it is a general election, it is a massive gamble.

Would just like to say thanks to @neil999 for this #scoop.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Fair play to her for at least seeking a mandate

Election on 8 june

 

[Tubey]

Well, that was straight to the point.

8 June it is. Bye Corbyn.

If I were her, I'd have left well alone - Corbyn as Labour leader was the greatest thing to happen to the Tories in years.

Political ITK...looks to downing street

No gamble at all. They'll walk it.

Exactly. This could easily blow up in her face completely - she is already saying that they can't allow other parties political games to affect Brexit.

On the contrary - this will be the end of Corbyn, and the rebirth of the Labour Party hopefully. A GE was the only thing that would get rid of him.
