...I'm afraid the terrorist incidents came at a pivotal time for Labour within this campaign, just when they had momentum over the Alzheimer's Tax etc. Tragic as those incidents have been they have provided May with respite. Whilst her record on immigration is poor, Diane Abbotts pathetic performance when interviewed by Sky about security matters provided the electorate with a reminder of the alternative.
Add to this Corbyn's record of voting against terrorism legislation 17 times, his preference for open borders and John McDonnell's views that MI5 should be scrapped and there should be no armed police officers on our streets, and Labour don't look like a party the electorate want at this moment.
Whilst Corbyn seems a highly principled man, I fear there are too many skeletons in his cupboard for him to ever be electable to top office. If May wins but not with the expected landslide, I could be saying the same in 5 years time which will be a real shame.
Saying that, I'm voting Labour and my daughter who's a hospital doctor has arranged her proxy for me to do the same.
