Current Affairs 2017 General Election

But it will provide the necessary capital to open factories to make all those things that the UK won't be importing from the EU when the UK leaves. The 'opportunities' that May, Davis, Johnson have been banging on about.

You have to get customers surely Brexit is the priority first!
Making what goods ? You need a customer first !

What was our debt when the tories took power mate?

Yes it's increased despite all the austerity, hence my post Labour has to come up with some sanity in its policies will their leader and chancellor give them that?.
That's the big question I do not think it will be a massive win, but with the right leadership,and team this would have been a good opportunity!

Joe, may I ask? Do you think that companies need permission from the government before they 'trade with the world'?

I don't think they give a crap if other people have sympathy for them or not,

Sums up the divide in this country perfectly...

The customers have always been there. Between 30 and 60 per cent of car components are imported from the EU. Why can't they be made in the UK? The reason they haven't , is due to those with the capital would rather lend to property adventures than manufacturing industry. Doesn't the investment banking being proposed open up the finance to build such factories?

Brexit is going to make people all over the globe want our stuff though, or something....

Joe what does this even mean

Tories have diverged what a Tory Brexit will be after negotiations which ever way they go
Lib Dems want another referendum on the outcome, and want to stay in the single market which is staying in the EU
Labour ? Asked many times on the EU negotiations Thornberry on newsnight was asked five times yet could not answer that outcome could I really trust Labour in negotions on Brexit that's what will decide the next election result, by all means Labour should destroy the Tory austerity failure, but untill Brexit is detailed by Labour they imo will not be trusted!
The Liberals will gain some seats from the Remoaners and that will be it - I may not vote as yet it's between the devil and the deep blue sea!
The vote of the people on Brexit should be carried through
We can trade worldwide control our immigration which we will still need as we lack skilled people for now!

Makes me sad/angry to see votes for Conservatives on an Everton forum. We just stopped caring about others now then have we?

For me, this election is REALLY important.. not from the point of view of who is going to govern our country for the next 5 years, but for what it means for the Labour party. Corbyn is going to lose, but he needs to show that Labour can still be a credible opposition. There is a big difference between a worst case scenario of polling 25-26% and being smashed way below 200 seats or managing to rally the traditional Labour core vote, getting 31-32% and beginning to regain a foothold against the SNP in Scotland. I don't think it's too far fetched to say that the first scenario would probably mean the end of Labour as the main opposition party with no realistic expectation for them to be able to return to power within a generation (their path back would be immeasurably more complex than it was in 1983), whereas the latter scenario they would still retain credibility and could possibly hope to mount a serious challenge to return to government in a couple of terms, around 2026-27.

Whatever happens Labour will properly HURT after the the election - FAR more so than in 2015 - in the way that once does when you are on the brink of despair and facing complete ruin, but it's only from these depths that a true soulsearching and reform can take place. People change when their roosters truly come to roost.

As the socialist experiment has demonstrably failed, I fully expect Corbyn to given his marching orders after June 8th to be to eventually be replaced with someone from the moderate wing of the party. It would be extraordinary if he remained as leader after the election. But in many ways he will go down as one of the most important figures in the history of the Labour party because he forced them to the brink of despair which then shaped their future from this point.

I hate it break it to you, but there is a good chance Labour could end on 22-23%, not 25-26%. Based on current polling.

Really? What a revelation that is.....how do you work that out Joe?

This is another reason why Labour fail. Not everyone sees the Tories as heartless, evil people who don't care for anyone. Because they aren't. That hyperbole is ridiculous.
