Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[Gwladysstreetlad]

My old man? Yeah, knew a few like 30 years ago through business. Their "morals" surprised him, in a bad way.

Cameron? He lost, he resigned. Thats the right thing to do.

He walked away because he's a coward and didn't want to face up to the challange of Brexit which he put forward to the public. If he was honourable he'd of stayed on and saw the processes through. He didn't because he's an egomaniac who couldn't handle defeat.

@roydo @Tubey would you vote differently if there was another general election in a few months with Boris Johnson leading the Tories and the Labour Party as it is?

That would be two leaders I couldn't vote for, so I'd vote against them both, for an independent probably.

May is/was terrible but I didn't see her as dangerous. I see Johnson as dangerous.

Old news now, but anyrate.

Just had lunch with my eldest, 24. Non political, but deffo not a daft lad.

I was with my old man earlier

@roydo
Early Fathers Day?

Really don't see how May and the Tories can survive.
Can't see how Corbyn could cobble together a coalition without SNP.

*gets to work on drawing boobs for next ballot paper.

Your arl man's a Tory who knows senior Tories.

You voted Tory in the GE.

You think Cameron is honourable.

What would she have to do in addition to drastically cutting police numbers and jeopardising the GFA for you to consider her as such?

Yes.

I said "didn't". Given her disgusting attempt to save her own skin by jeopardising the Good Friday Agreement, I wouldn't vote for her in a future election.

As for police numbers, I don't see that as a big of a deal than others do I'm afraid. Sure, not ideal, if we had the money then it'd be great to have more numbers, but I don't buy that it was particularly dangerous.

To correct your assumptions.

My old man is the son of a builder, who ended up running a cleaning company, that got involved in the early days of private contracts in things like the NHS.

I voted for a local MP, who happened to be Tory. I could not vote for Corbyn, I could not vote for May, I exorcised my own conscience by voting on local issues.

Any politician who loses a vote, and resigns, has done the honourable thing.

But he didnt lose himself, remain lost and he was still Prime Minister with obligations that he cast aside to walk away. The referendum isn't comparable to an election defeat, he won the 2015 election off the back of promising the referendum. If he was honourable, he'd of stayed in his job at least until the will of the people was carried out. After all, he created the whole situation.

To be fair, I see no reason why you feel you have to defend your actions to anyone on here. We live in a democracy and can vote for whoever we please - all this talk about scousers voting Labour (and if you don't then you're somehow not a scouser) I have found rather distasteful and on the verge of bullying. As I mentioned on another thread, I've seen GOT in a new light this past week or so.

But he did. He led a remain campaign. lost, and resigned.

Cant get why you and others cant grasp that.

Because it was cowardly to not see out his obligations, when he lead the election in 2015 he made no mention that he'd walk away if he lost the referendum. Nor did he during the referendum itself. It was the exact opposite of honourable to walk away. To resign after an election defeat is following a direct rejection of your party and yourself as a leader, the referendum was no such rejection because if that was the case then pretty much every party leader should of resigned with Cameron as most of them also campaigned to remain and suffered the same defeat.

Well I welcome your input, but I am not, nor have ever claimed to be, a scouser.

I was born in Neston in 1965.

I ended up in Portishead in about 1976.

Pretty much remained there ever since.

I am comfortable in my skin. And I would never demean, demonise, nor wish ill on those who choose a different path, or person to vote for, than me.

What where his obligations?

Is that failure still hanging on in No.10?

Embarrassing.

I give it 5 days and she'll be back home with her husband Woody Allen making jars of marmalade.
