Current Affairs The General Election

[ToffeeTim]

am i missing something with Labour and the students going home. arnt most uni places , Liverpool ect nailed on anyway, would not be better letting them go home to marginals?

There are a few lib dem marginals where they reckon the student vote is important. I've not seen much statistical data to suggest it's that important in the overall picture, but the parties seem to think it is. Most students I knew when I was at uni were registered in home constituency anyway.

If you really want to vote, you'll make a point of voting. Be it in person, postal or proxy.

I think it sums up this useless parliament that they are now spending a couple of hours arguing over whether we vote on a Monday or a Thursday. Just get on with it and stop having the public on.

Been saying for years, we should invade France and force them to live in England.

Well they had that idea first, and as far as I am aware, they never left.

That's a lot of remain votes if allowed to vote in a GE.

Yes but they're all London and cities.

Not going to make the slightest bit of difference to the likes of East Hampshire and Ribble valley.

Normandy or the south of France for me.

Love France.

Crewe & Nantwich however where a knuckle dragging racist was returned last time despite a decent European population.

Well more are, obviously. But even in smaller towns you would be surprised by the numbers of EU citizens living and working in far smaller places. In my pretty modest town, I know for a fact there are just short of 100 Hungarians, for example.

They’d probably move there and then vote to leave

Love the south of France myself, we had many a boss holiday in Biot.

all of that coast is amazing, even the industrial bits around Sete and Marseille

Collioure is the best though, that place is fantastic

Unfortunately knuckle dragging racist is de rigeur in them there parts...

At a point now where I don't even care if Lib Dems/SNP/Plaid do well. My priority is a Labour majority government with their great manifesto that will help the poor and working class. But I wouldn't even mind a Lab/SNP coalition, I just wanna see the Tories utterly destroyed and in opposition for the damaged they've caused over the past 10 years and the shambles they are under Johnson
