Fallen Muppet. Lest we never forget
Voted. My constituency is the most marginal in the area so I'm really hoping we hold on to it. Fingers crossed but I've done my bit!
I have a bad feeling about today, that the 'surge' for Labour is merely a surge in optimism that won't translate into enough votes. I feel like the media is so despicable and England is so rotten under the surface that it's had the opposite effect and they, Tory voters, will turn out in big numbers to maintain the status quo.
Hope I'm proven wrong.
Hollande is a socialist. I'm not really qualified to say any more than that, or where his government should be positioned on a left wing scale. Hopefully someone else can jump in.
How little what means, the Sun?If the Sun had gone pro-Labour, today's front page would never even have been mentioned on here. As long as (the majority of) people on here are happy to go and cross the red box I wouldn't worry too much what the newspapers say. The fact that Labour are doing much better than could have been anticipated a month ago is testament to how little it means in reality.

Just like the idiots who voted brexit and really wanted to remain, dangerous gameI don't think I've ever been so hopeful for a party to win an election that I'm not actually voting for.![]()
If the conservatives win like 45% of the seats, who would join them in forming a coalition gov.? Could they accept Ukip? And even if they do and it is still below 50%, who else?
UKIP won't win any seats. If they can't get a majority with the DUP it will be a minority administration, assuming Lab/Lib/SNP also too short.If the conservatives win like 45% of the seats, who would join them in forming a coalition gov.?

UKIP won't have a seat to share with them. Maybe Lib Dem again if the maths works out, but I find it hard to see how they can reconcile their views on Europe.
So the party that accidentally (against it's leaders wishes) took the UK out of the European Union, without any plan whatsoever how to do so (at the time), and just to please it's extreme right wing, is the wise option? That's some funky wisdom they've got. No matter how you stand on brexit, this is all true. Even if it were the greatest thing ever done by anybody it would still hold true. And it's going to be a huge clusterfeck
I'm torn between wanting Labour to win and the feeling that the Tories deserve to preside over their magnificent brexit and all of it's glorious consequences.
Not sure whats worse the terrible play on words and defamation of someone or the fact that people will be influenced or become more entrenched in their opinions despite there merit.
You can't blame Conservatives for Brexit, most of the party wanted to remain and most of their voters as well.

The worst bit of both is insinuating that one is friends with Terrorists. It's unnecessary scare-mongering.
The template has already been done.'Corbyn will tax your work, your garden, your home, your inheritance, your dog, your cat, your nan etc.'

ELECTION BOMBSHELL AS CORBYN (INSERT FLAKY SENSATIONALIST BOLLOCKS HERE)
In a development that could ruin the Labour general election campaign, it has been revealed that party leader and prime ministerial hopeful Jeremy Corbyn once <<insert flaky sensationalist bollocks here>> with <<dunno, someone evil or something>> in 1986.

Assuming you've not seen the video..what the hell does "fecked them into the milk" mean?
Just like the idiots who voted brexit and really wanted to remain, dangerous game
Which is exactly my point. "Strong and stable" ... "oops, accidentally gambled away our influence on the continent"You can't blame Conservatives for Brexit, most of the party wanted to remain and most of their voters as well.
To borrow a quote, I think that's because "people either don't know what they want or think you should bring back hanging for traffic wardens"It would be something to have a leader people could actually love and want to back because they are trying to do the right thing. Sometimes the unexpected can be a good thing.
I'm in the same boat, think I would be 60/40 Lab/SNP if it was PR, but have to go SNP here.The party I'm voting for are guaranteed to keep out the Tories though, so...ya know...
I don't do this openly but I certainly think it. Not just about Tories (I've voted for them in the past) but for anyone who votes for a party that is intending to introduce policies that will hurt people.
Think of it this way, there are reportedly a large number of British people who went into agonizing depression and then killed themselves because of policies brought in by the conservative government. They had their means of keeping a roof over their heads and food on the table removed, and they couldn't see a better option than to kill themselves. Not whine on Facebook, not rant down the pub, but actually take their own lives.
Government and politics isn't some giant thought exercise where if you get it wrong we just sigh and vote for someone else in 5 years. If government gets it wrong, people suffer. People's lives get turned upside down. People die.
Now with the previous Cameron government there's an argument that people didn't know what would happen. There were certainly warning signs during the coalition, but its not unreasonable of people to think it wouldn't go so far. Now there is no excuse. People are dead, the NHS is being privatised, May has openly said she's going to attack our civil liberties and gut human rights law while continuing the vicious attack on welfare and now pensioners too.
If you vote for that to continue, then you're as responsible for the consequences as they are.
