Oh great we are now wheeling out the right wing cnuts who don't want to help poor people of the wrong colour
 
Stronger? Relatively speaking, you might have a point. They still look incredibly weak, and all I'm looking for at this point is some basic competence when it comes to Brexit. I want a strong leader, not this pussyfooting around and fumbling everything.
Fumbling everything?

Not sure what you mean.
 
Well the leaders are backed up by their cabinet. May isnt perfect, but when you look at Corbyns potential cabinet, the tories look stronger.
I am 47 and have never voted tory before.

Given the last few years of Tories I very much disagree with this. If they were as talented as you say wouldn't they have found a way to reduce the national debt?
 
If the US voted for Trump, and he campaigned to reject the Paris agreement, how can she condemn him for delivering what he always promised to deliver?

Trump left the Agreement as he wants to renegotiate with Europe on forming a new deal that would be favourable to US and US companies. Germany, France and Italy said yesterday that they would not agree to a renegotiation. The UK said nothing. May just said in private that she was "disappointed" with the developments. Whatever that means.

Which cabinet members are you referring to? Boris? Davis? Hunt? Fox? They're a shambles
 
This has been great, big fan of the format. May has been absolute shite. Worryingly, maybe less shite than we needed her to be.
 
Fumbling everything?

Not sure what you mean.

She's blown an unbelievably comfortable lead in the polls, hasn't given any coherent plan on Brexit, and has looked weak on the world stage when there.

She's weak. All of the leaders of the parties are terrible and she's only surviving because there are no viable alternatives.
 
Think she struggled on education and the NHS, but she did fine overall. Corbyn needs a very strong showing.

The current cabinet was assembled last June. I diddn't vote tory in 2015.

No. One of his biggest policies was to reject the Paris agreement. The US people voted him as president.
 
Stop this "no deal" shite. He'll make a deal with the SNP if he needs to and it's the sensible thing to do.
 
Social Care, Education, NHS and Foreign Aid were bad. She started off well.
Yeah I forgot to mention social care. On foreign aid, thought the questions were a bit dumb/selfish lead questions, so don't think she did that badly and it won't be damaging.
 
Thought May started well in terms of avoiding the questions and using buzzwords but didnt finish well at all.
Her biggest problem is speaking which is a worry if shes going to be PM.
 
Why would you start talking like you doubt you'll win the election, less than a week before the vote, when you seem to have the momentum?

He's not saying he won't win - it's a legitimate question to be asked what you'll do though if you win but don't have a majority. Denying there's any way that could happen is silly.
