Current Affairs The General Election

[Seanjd]

OK, but what would you rather do - spend 100% of money needed for the poor, or spend 50% of it and spaff away the rest on people who don't need it?

Because the latter is what I'd actually expect the Tories to do, not Labour.

I don't think universal coverage is a bad thing when it's paid for from a tax - the NHS for example being covered by National Insurance (well, at least in theory...), but I just don't see the point in giving the rich free stuff.

I think you can do both. I think you can have a society which caters for everyone through universal access of free but quality services, paid for en large by the taxation of the rich, and ensure the poor are safeguarded from poverty through extra payments and benefits, but mainly by creating jobs.

Makes my blood boil the number of utter serfs planning to vote for the Tories.

They ought to be ashamed of themselves, the boot-licking scumbags.

Honest to God. These people need disenfranchising. The thick gets.

Pete, you cant vote for these rats, people WILL die.

I’m not the problem, Corbyn is the problem, and normal Labour voters will vote Tory come the day. In some respects I feel sorry for him, his natural belief is to leave the EU, but he has been hijacked by the Remainers within Labour, and it is they who are undermining him. He would be a disaster for the U.K., GDP would fall, tax take would fall, and those at the bottom would feel the pain. I agree with the principles of looking after those that need help, but to do that you need a healthy economy and Corbyn and McDonnel would kill it......

Registered to vote but don’t think I’m gonna bother. There is just nobody for me to get behind.

Allow me to help.

The tories will actually murder people.
Labour will try and help, but probably bankrupt the whole country.

Death or poverty.

Thanks you have made my decision so much easier...

Kinell. @Old Blue 2 any music links for this please?

A further thought, orchard.

This point, I think, applies to both main leaders (except that they'll never do it), from some obscure Scouse band...

I love how all the Tory results say "Meritocracy"

Can only assume whoever put the quiz together doesn’t know what it means.
