Current Affairs The General Election

[edge]

if you want to change the country only one party to vote for Labour rest is just tinkering around the edges of more of the same.

Hoping Labour win however not a huge Jezza fan.

I can see Labour doing well but no majority and sadly don't think Lib Dems will get into bed with them.

Vote at 16 would've give Labour a huge boost but that's out of the question so I pray Lib Dems join up with Labour but I can't see it.

13th December - Tory with Lib Dems Collision

No way Lib Dems would go back with the Conservatives. Last time it basically destroyed them.

What cost to society would that be? I get the economy bit because the real money remains in connected circles. So 'their' economy perhaps but not that of those lower down the 'food chain'.

Adjustment to schools to accommodate larger class sizes to take in the kids from the private system, the reduction of kids who are given better opportunities than they would in a state school through scholarships, academic or athletic. I’d say that’s two societal changes.

I’d even argue that the economy would impact far more deeply than though - for example Sedburgh school is its towns main employers. If it goes that town is in economic decline - does that also encourage migration away, hence again creating another societal change?

If the basic opportunity comes their way they most certainly will, they are like Jack Russel's with inter locking teeth when it comes to power and they will go back to the Tory's every time...

Can't see it myself, they were utterly finished until this mess of Brexit came along otherwise they would be struggling around with the Green Party.

I wouldn’t bet against it as long as their ‘leader’ is Joe Swinson. Like Labour, they have the opportunity to get into the Tories, but they’re rudderless.

Like a politician, then.

Not that I’m a fan of them, but there’s no chance labour will be able to abolish private schools. It’s just a pandering to their base. They do themselves no favours with such hyperbolic language. Coming up with an arbitrary figure for the amount of people to have lost their lives through austerity measures is another cringe line.
They just need to keep things as simple as possible.

People should stop calling him Boris...

but that’s his name......

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Like a politician, then.

A neo Liberal with negotiable principles, yes I believe so, a consensus is building.

but that’s his name......

If we want full proper names its 'Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson'.

 

[Tubey]

While I agree that people shouldn't call Johnson by his first name, I also think people shouldn't say "Jezza" about Corbyn.

Both nauseating.

 

[peteblue]

...i’m not a fan of Corbyn, he’s a millstone around Labour’s neck, he’s unpopular except with the Tory’s and other opposition party’s yet he’s still in situ. I don’t like Momentum Labour either. Saying that, I‘ll be voting for them and I’ll be chuffed to see Johnson and Rees-Mogg on the opposition benches.

Staggers me how anybody from can vote for this Tory Party. They are proven to be deceitful, they are proven to have no principle and values. They are all about power. They are all about power at any cost.

if you value public services, if you care about the NHS, Education, Welfare et al then please don’t vote Conservative because they genuinely don’t care.

I don’t like this Labour Party but I’m genuinely scared of this Conservative Party.

It‘s a pity you didn’t get to spend any time in the wealth creating private sector......

Excellent, Boris it is then.......

Every politician wants power, that's why they became politicians. It's a mindset that says "I can change the world" and genuinely believes it. And as we know, power is both corrupting and addictive.

Its the same for every flavor of politics. Jeremy Paxman wrote a decent book on this topic about 15 years ago called the Political Animal. Peter Oborne's Rise of the Politcal Class was good also.

You should address him correctly his full name is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
