Labour should have had a 'disable all radiators in pensioners' homes' policy in their manifesto. That'll learn 'em.

To be fair the Tories are going to steal their winter fuel payments anyway if they get back in. They know the demographic will be against them next time

Nah, they are hoping that the demographic will be dead next time. If they do win, 2022 will be "we are in crisis, you can't trust Labour to get us out of it". 2027 will be cancelled because of the war.

I cannot vote for Corbynism - high corporation tax firms will leave hope his money tree on his allotment he has planted a few more its the devil and the deep blue sea - I am a labourite but not a left wing person ready to bankrupt the country!

Hello mate, where are these companies going to leave for considering that in the UK it is currently lower than Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Germany, Finland and The Netherlands?

Even with Labour's proposed increase, the UK would still have a lower corporation tax rate than France, Greece and Germany and be comparable with the rates of Italy, Spain and The Netherlands.


I'm genuinely interested to hear your thoughts mate.

They always used to say if you were under 30 and didn't vote Labour you had no soul, and if you were over 30 and didn't vote Tory you had no brain.

I think as people get older, have children, take on mortgages etc it becomes more difficult for them to vote for the good of society rather than for their own self-interest. Personally I've never voted Labour, as I didn't care for Kinnock, and Blair/Brown's brand of red Tory never did it for me either, hence I always voted Liberal. But this time, with re-nationalisation of public services and railways, restoration of spending on NHS and Education, and hopefully the beginning of a fairer redistribution of wealth I will be voting Labour. I'm 46, so let's hope people think like me.

You do get the feeling that it's like 1992, when nobody admitted they were voting for John Major, but then they did. May is seen as a bit of a joke, and people will be reluctant to admit they're voting for her. I can see a Tory majority of about 50 I'm afraid.

I don't get this though. This idea that voting Tory is looking after your own self interests.

Unless you're super rich, or have no interest in the state of schools, the NHS, or the police force I just don't get it.
