Re: The 2017 General Election
I don't think I am clutching at straws at all, voting twice is illegal. If a large portion of them, i.e. thousands of them did so, this could potentially have serious implications because in some constituencies, the result was very tight.

Nah, we shouldn't be at all concerned about this sort of thing if it benefits Labour. Now if it were the Tories who were the beneficiaries, then of course we should expect protests in the streets and the defacing of war memorials...

It's Fake News Mick  , and sour grapes.
If anybody did vote twice, how do you know it wasn't Tory ?

As I understand it, according to my independent non-MSM research, the double-voters were the richer Conservative-leaning students whose parents bought them a car to both facilitate a swift exit at the weekends to the country retreat for a spot of faux fox-hunting and a bit of double-voting every time there is an election.

Re: The 2017 General Election
Now we know why the Conservatives won. 2 votes for every 1!

It's not sour grapes when the party I support is still in power, still won the most seats.

Still in power because of the DUPlicate voting

Nope. Students voting twice more than likely went Labour given the carrots they had dangling over her heads with uncosted promises.

Well, you forecast wrong for the last three General Elections.
Good to see you still around - you disappeared for quite a while the last time you got it wrong...

I thought it was the tories that treated the electorate with utter contempt by not bothering to cost their manifesto, they didn't even think enough of us to bother making stuff up.

He was right about Dave being gone, that's the main thing even if his timing was slightly out

You thought wrong. Labour were the ones making all these unaffordable promises and bankrupting the country in the process, if heaven forbid, they came to power.
So when Tories come back to power, when Labour loses elections, Tories have to invoke austerity measures to pay off the messy finances Labour always leaves in its wake. Labour are good at leaving notes too, saying there is no money left.

Please, that's what they want you to believe, the worst of Maggie thatchers privatisations and cuts came at the end of her reign and whilst we're at it look at the mess john major left the countries finances in, that was as big a car crash as any.

Re: The 2017 General Election
If the Tories were so good at making cuts to pay off the deficit why are we now borrowing more than when Labour was in power?
That was all Osbournes doing, phaps he needs lessons in Maths.
