Current Affairs The General Election

[Disgruntledgoat]

That's not what I'm saying and I would add that those wanting a fairer society the most are the ones who benefit the least. Those who can afford should contribute more, that includes politicians too.

That seems at odds with most analysis.

Can't see Labour winning it. The whole thing will be overshadowed by brexit rather than anything else and people will vote for that alone.

Will be a clear split between for and against and labours middle ground stance won't sway voters.

Sinn Fein tells DUP's Nigel Dodds it thinks it has 'real opportunity' to win his seat
Michelle O’Neill has said Sinn Fein is hoping to unseat “an architect of Brexit” - DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds - as it aims to increase its number of MPs from seven to eight. As the Press Association reports, the Sinn Fein vice president said the December 12 general election will be about maximising the return of pro-Remain candidates.



errrr...sinn fein dont take their seats in parliament lol

If they take DUP seats then that's one less Brexiteer in parliament though, even if Sinn Fein don't take the seats themselves.

It's not a 1:1 swing to the Remainer camp of course but it all-but acts as a Brexiteer abstention on any vote.

They haven't got a chance of winning it outright barring a massive Tory scandal/collapse, but depending on how Corbyn performs they have an outside chance of being the largest party in a hung parliament. An extremely outside chance but a chance nonetheless.

No they don't. Still, if they can deprive the DUP's Deputy Dodds of his seat then everyone's a winner.

Just read Kate Hoey is standing down as an MP too. Fantastic news and good riddance.

Over 50 MPs gone already and many more who put two fingers to Brexitirs likely to bite the dust too on either sides too some of the swamp has been drained new faces will appear from all parties which hopefully will be a good thing with a hopefully new impartial speaker ....... I will respect any result democracy should be king.......

That's big of you seeing as you said you weren't going to vote in a GE. It's not just about brexit you know. You could end up with five more years with the criminal Johnson in charge. Mind you you'd probably be happy with that eh?

Now is a perfect opportunity to run on a non-abstenionist platform. Can you imagine Sammy Tache sitting beside the shinners, he's head would explode

You've moved from regurgitating the language of Johnson to regurgitating the language of Trump now? Can you write out 100 times, "I am left wing (honestly guv)"?

You've done anything but this for months. Moaned constantly about the democratic decisions of an elected parliament.

What you mean is you'll accept any result that goes your way.

He'll do whatever Cummings tells him. Lets be honest.

Yeah. The only way I can see it is as the flipside to the same mess we're already in. Labour teaming up with Greens or Lib Dems with lots of fence sitting, and leaving the EU postponed until 2050

Unlike Corbyn who has several people pulling his strings (mostly in different directions).

Unike you I will accept the democratic decision my main complaint was with MPs an did not like many posts on here too - if the country votes for a non Brexitirs party.
I will accept it like you did not accept the refferendum result with many others on here ..
