Current Affairs The General Election

[Jebus_lives]

To be fair, doctors in various countries around the world, have been far from blameless in using their lobbying power to distort the healthcare market, which has remained at the bottom of the heap in terms of productivity gains for generations.

Which is one of the arguments that Labour might make about the role of GPs under the H&SC Act (and why it should be repealed).

What difference do we think the three million new voters will make?

Are these factored into the polls?

it'll go 2:1 in Labour's favour. At least.

 

[Jebus_lives]

It was always going to come at some point.

Lines have been crossed at this election in so many ways.

There will be consequences.

Interestingly those decrying the intervention of religious figures into politics regarding Brexit, are falling over themselves to draw attention to religious intervention on politics on this issue.

I would presume a huge amount would be younger voters.

I would presume a huge amount would be younger voters.

Yeah, but is this factored into the polls or is it a complete unknown quantity?

Think about 80% of them will be labour voters, but that doesn't mean it will amount to much.

Have you ever had a wide working direct contact of people who use the NHS as patients?

You need to get an app

There's an app for this stuff?

Worst thing about the election is all these polls knocking about. I want to know how they're getting their information and how reliable it is.

One poll will have the tories at a 12 point lead, another with it down to 6. Head's everywhere with them

I heard quite a few people moaning about Junior Doctors when they were threatening to strike and subsequently did.

It wasn't the point I was initially making but the majority of this country believe and follow what they are fed by the media.

If NHS staff were to stand between the the collective agenda of the media on any issue, I almost guarantee that the public within weeks would be asking for them to be boiled in oil.

Maybe its the areas we live in, all i heard was support. Regardless of what the media were spouting

Perhaps. I think people are broadly supportive, until it starts to affect them and then the enthusiasm tends to ebb away.

They're worried....

Personally I'm looking forward to Andrew Neil's interviews with all of them because I want to see each and everyone of the party leaders fluster and flounder because they're all utter crap.

Does Joey count?

It'll be interesting to see what the uber Tory lead giving yougov report tonight. If they show a similar pattern then that;s more interesting still. I think ComRes are also due a poll today today.
