Current Affairs The General Election

[Jebus_lives]

My money is on Dianne Abbott, the greatest intellectual within the current party......stunning brain power......

Even if true, the majority of sensible people will still blame Labour and Corbyn........Boris is fireproof on this.....

Fireproof?

Hardly. He pulled his own bill to hold an election, then told everyone he was doing it to 'get Brexit done'.

Thornberry would be a disaster.

I think Starmer is probably the sensible choice my only worry with him is he doesn't make me 'feel' anything when I listen to him. It's considered, logical and a bit sterile.

hahahahaha......sorry, but Starmer is a waste of space. He was a disaster running the CPS, he would be completely out of his depth running a Political Party...even a party of opposition...

That's a good thing for me. I'd take logical and competent over entertaining and stupid (Johnson), impassioned but insane (Corbyn), actual cyborg (Swinson), boring and incompetent (May) etc.

Pete it's pretty difficult to argue in favour of competence when you're supporting a Government with a cabinet that contains a man sacked as Defence Secretary for accidentally leaking national security information, a foreign Secretary that didn't understand the significance of the Dover/Calais crossing, a secretary for international trade that 'inadvertently' sold arms to Saudi Arabia against a UK court order, a home secretary that had secret meetings with a foreign government, a health secretary that can't understand that 20000-21000= -1000, a Minister that has just resigned for endorsing a former aide despite knowing about his role sabotaging a rape trial, a man who thinks that 72 people dying in a national tradegy did so because they didn't have 'common sense', Grant Schapps and a Prime Minister whose most significant achievements include wasting hundreds of millions of public money on failed vanity projects, as foreign Secretary interveening to help sentence a British woman to 5 years in Iranian prison and pulling the one Brexit deal to pass through Parliament in favour of a general election.

Just put this on a poster.

Or don't, as I don't want Corbyn in power haha

would you really prefer Johnson as PM Tubey?

Thats nature of the law, it is an ass. Starmer would be an accident waiting to happen, the very nature of his role with CPS would have brought him into conflict with popular opinion on more than one occasion. Plenty of skeletons unfortunately that will be dusted off.

would you really prefer Johnson as PM Tubey?

With a majority? I guess if I had to answer right now, whilst I wouldn't use the word "prefer", I'd be able to tolerate Johnson in power instead of Corbyn. I think in the long term Corbyn is much more dangerous than Johnson. The Tories would be five more years of the devil you know and it'd mean Corbyn is gone for good and Momentum weakened. It'd be a horrible joke that Johnson won an actual election but it's a "douche vs turd" scenario - we're screwed either way, it's just about how screwed we are and for how long.

But I actually don't want either to have a majority. I'd be OK-ish with Labour being largest party in a hung parliament, so he can sort Brexit out but be kept heavily in check on everything else. It'd extend the influence of Momentum over Labour for a few years, but as the membership will see that happen anyway it doesn't matter. I think after that they'd be merrily thrashed at an election and sent packing once Brexit is done.

I don't think I'll ever understand you, Tubey. One minute you seem sound, and then you come out with absolute guff like this.

I go to and fro on it to be honest. I saw Johnson drinks Tetley tea today - if Corbyn drinks Yorkshire Tea then the above answer will be different.

These are the important things.

Seriously though, they're just both terrible. I'm not voting for either, or Cyborg Swinson. I'll probably be spoiling a ballot paper for the first time ever, which in Kirkby makes absolutely no difference anyway as Labour win it no matter what.

Brexit has really muddied the waters for this Election, I like Labour's policies and trust them to look after the people a lot better than the Tories, food bank use rising from 40k to 1.6m in 8 years of them governing tells you that.

But I don't like Labour's policy on Brexit, like a lot of stalwart Labour voters, and that's really going to hurt Labour in this election.

I can't decide, doesn't really matter in my town, it's a Tory stronghold.
