This Remain Alliance sounds like legalised vote rigging, shouldn't be allowed this type of thing.

The Lib Dems really do get on my t*ts, they lobbied Cameron when they were in power with the Tory's to hold a referendum and said they would honour it, almost wiped out in 2016 they now redesign themselves into a remain party because they know nearly half the country voted remain, self serving, change their policies at the drop of a hat bunch of charlatans.
 
That usually ends well......

Well every nation has borrowings and with a sovereign currency you can always rely on inflation to pay the interest. You also have to option to devalue to get out if debt (although the IMF gangsters make this a little more thorny these days).

The key is what you do with it... If the borrowing is used to fund major infrastructure projects generating employment and lasting benefit to the nation, then I'm all for it. If it's used to buy votes by giving people free stuff or tax cuts then I'm a little more sceptical.
 
From the polls it look like the Lib Dems are actually making up some massive ground.

Reading the comments though it all seems to be tactical voting to get the tories out in certain areas?

I have said similar many times before. Corbyn however uses the word ‘investment’ when really he just means give to those who vote for him......
 
Considering the current government is borrowing a lot more than it has itself proscribed, lol.

At least Labour has a means of repayment (everyone that uses the services) and will have acquired assets in addition.

If they were to punt it all into realigning the economy and power generation along sustainable lines (or a massive, homegrown, investment in new build nuclear), that would be a massive win.
 
Opinion polls are used not to gauge voting intentions but to influence them....not worth a fig imo......people are also very good at hiding their true intentions.
 
More interested to hear how the Tories are going to square public investment and tax cuts for the richest in society. All this with the economic downturn from Brexit that their own sources have predicted.

Totally agree with this that the Tories can't talk about financial disaster when they too are trying to buy an election.
 
It'll be closer than that suggests, but yes, obviously the Tories are heavy favourites.

I just think the majority might be beyond them by a few seats.

I did think they would be on for around 295 seats before he started saying he'd rather be dead in the ditch and managed to bring back a joke of a deal from the EU and then mess the house around. Now I'm thinking of revising that downwards a tad.
