I've got 50 minutes. I don't like any of the three. Democracy is a drag sometimes.
Certainty.So what are peoples thoughts? Tory government? Feck I hope not.
Could do what @17 Van der Gouw did and think of the plastic in the ocean and vote Green on a whim if they're standing in your area.I've got 50 minutes. I don't like any of the three. Democracy is a drag sometimes.
Just a matter of how big the majority is imoSo what are peoples thoughts? Tory government? Feck I hope not.
Certainty.
I'm just glad you didn't tear my list apartTriple lock probably lib dem led, but yeah I see what you mean. I think it was the other cuts that meant the triple lock could offset some of these.
Local government spend is debatable. Local governments do waste a lot of money at times, e.g. Community projects and endless road works.
I'm not sure about the mortgage percentages. That would just be more people with no chance of buying a house stuck in renting which from a demand perspective would likely increase rental costs. Although interesting one as yes some potential for prices to drop in theory, so less debt so probably somewhere in the middle.
Retraining is a good idea... If it works. You could argue the horse has bolted and are these people interested in learning and working. They've had the chance and didn't take it. It might be a bad investment.
Universal income is an interesting one, had to Google that. Might just be cutting same pie a different way with same outcome.
I disagree about higher tax bracket. 40 percent is probably a good balance. I'm happy to pay 40 percent on the top end as feels a reasonable split and I feel I still take a decent share of higher earnings. Below that I'm probably paying less than I should and it's not going to change my motivation.
I'm just hoping the majority isn't too big.Certainty.
Yes. That is where the voting issues are.Is Keele university in the Newcastle upon Lyme constituency? I think it's the right part of the world.
Yes. That is where the voting issues are.
There's a reply to one of the tweets saying there's the same issue in Nottingham.Yes I thought so. Some of the earlier tweets seemed to imply it was more widespread. Seems like this is an issue with one constituency and maybe even one ward at most then and not a widespread issue of young people not being added.
Yeah i think so, my cousin goes there.Is Keele university in the Newcastle upon Lyme constituency? I think it's the right part of the world.
I think that's Sunderland.Isn't newcatle under lyme that love to get the results in first? They might face some issues tonight if people can't vote.
I don't know. Hundreds of postal votes went missing in plymouth this week which is another marginal.Yes I thought so. Some of the earlier tweets seemed to imply it was more widespread. Seems like this is an issue with one constituency and maybe even one ward at most then and not a widespread issue of young people not being added.
Do you know what time Pendle result comes out?Nah, it is the Sunderland constituencies. Newcastle under Lyme will be around 4am
The only thing they are actually competitive at?I think that's Sunderland.
Ha ha apologies I didn't mean to do that, was a genuinely interesting and thoughtful read and definitely a few things worth exploring! Trust me I'd have struggled to come up with a list like that. A good variety of angles. I'd probably be a bit narrow in thinking.I'm just glad you didn't tear my list apart![]()
I can see her getting absolutely mullered by the EU. Hence why she is saying no deal is better than a bad deal, it's her face saving escape route.

I think I'll reluctantly go and vote based on our local MP who does a generally good job rather than thinking nationally.Could do what @17 Van der Gouw did and think of the plastic in the ocean and vote Green on a whim if they're standing in your area.
Don't they compete with Newcastle Upon Tyne?I think that's Sunderland.
The only thing they are actually competitive at?
General guide here - http://election.pressassociation.com/Declaration_times/general_2017_by_time.phpDo you know what time Pendle result comes out?
I once thought south Africa was next to India, I'm not the best person to ask about geographyDon't they compete with Newcastle Upon Tyne?
4am according to The Mirror's list (no idea how accurate)Do you know what time Pendle result comes out?
Its the whole constituency

Who will you people trust? Raees, who has flip flopped on every decision and is definitely a bird. Or me, strong and staple Mr Pigeon who has never made a mistake and has definitely never said "thanks you too" when the server at KFC said "enjoy your meal"?

Geographically they are next door neighbours. I meant that they both try to return their vote first.I once thought south Africa was next to India, I'm not the best person to ask about geography
Apparently been going on in Exeter as well.
What time are the first "interesting" results expected to come in?
I have feckwits on my Facebook , saying I have taken a pen , they are not rubbing out my vote![]()

Moyes will break that record too![]()
That was a big thing around brexit.
fecking idiots.
Last GE and Brexit my feed was pretty bad. Might have been after the result though, can't remember though.But we've all been told that Labour voters are all nasty, especially on social media.
Your evidence must be wrong.
