So I have no idea which Party I'd vote for.

This, this and thrice this.

I've been thinking about this since the announcement.


Whilst life to me personally has been very good over the past few years of conservative leadership I can't standby and watch what i believe will be the systematic dismantling of the NHS. The victimisation of the sick, weak, disabled and poor. What i believe to be huge invasions of civil liberties. The widening gap between the richest and poorest members of society.

Old Maggie V2 has played a blinder, there's no credible alternative. She must of had a conference call with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to get some tips

Lets hope the Scottish wake up to the reality of the SNP, and vote otherwise.

In the UK, it seems very likely the Conservatives will win big, and labour will get hammered.

Depending on how long the corner is, yes there will be a new PM at some point but that's inevitable as we all know.

He strikes me as a Galloway type. Not sure he would welcome the daily grind of Parliament when he can be making the rounds on American television and speaking circuit.

This week's YouGov/Times voting intention figures see the Conservatives on 44% (from 42% last week) while Labour are on 23% (from 25% last week), giving the Tories a 21 point lead.

These results represent the lowest voting intention share for Labour since June 2009 when the party was in power and Gordon Brown was Prime Minister.
Quote:
Theresa May continues to be the favoured choice for best Prime Minister, with 50% of people preferring her to Jeremy Corbyn. The Labour leader is backed by 14% of voters, whilst 36% don't know.

Re: June 8th General Election

Only one appearing against this so far is that blithering, a size dress too small wearing, SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon.

Re: June 8th General Election

Why is Corbyn so excited? They'll lose and he'll get das boot. I'm waiting for Arthur to show up and spread his wisdom, best character on CF.

Re: June 8th General Election

Not sure how Sturgeon expects Scottish voters to have any real overall impact in a general election. There is only a possible reduction of 2 seats of a majority Conservative government. It's not as if there are 20 Conservative seats to be lost in Scotland.
