Have you ever lived through a general election ? If you want to talk about Lies just read the last labour manifesto and promises........
wow, that got a lot of full stops.
Ofcourse there's bs in GE party manifestos. I just think there were outside influences and shady finances involved in the Brexit campaign. Outside influences helped undermine democracy in the UK and the US
 
But why highlight Philip Lee not following the will of his constituents but then say you have no problems with May being aligned to Arlene Foster who is also not representing her constituent view?

Or is this not what you are actually saying?

It seems very inconsistent to me Pete.

No, I agreed with you regarding following the will of the people. I am not having a go at Arlene Foster because a) I’m not in NI, b) I didn’t vote for her party. However I still agree with you regarding following the will of the people. Foster may not be following her people, but neither are Labour in Wales and England.

In respect of Lee, he has behaved despicably and even treacherously to his constituency, his party and his party leader. It wasn’t even what he did, if that is his firmly held belief, but the timing of what he did...he will be thrown out before the next election.....

The difference being that if a Govt are elected off the back of a manifesto that they fail to deliver on, then they’re outed by the electorate at the first available opportunity.

How many of Mays promises got omitted from the 2 year Queens speech, after she had to water down her manifesto pledges to suit the bible bashing terrorist sympathisers that she needed to cling to power with btw?
 
They’ve decried these stats before, as they didn’t like the fact that they show that the leave vote increased in line with age and decreased in line educational attainment.

You wrongly quoted the YouGov stats for the way people voted in the referendum compared to how they voted in the 2015 GE mate. Amongst those stats was a break down of votes by age and educational attainment - which you have decried before and I’ll vault if required :)
