Perhaps I am different from some voters on here as I would happily vote for a party which was going to increase my personal tax, reduce child tax credits, increase other taxes if I thought they were going to do something about education,NHS, social care even those none of those items affects me directly.

As the days go by and May consistently comes out with things that make her and the UK look like fools is she really the person we want to lead these negotiations(or front them) and lead the county.

Have you thought that perhaps it's the EU trying her to make her look like a fool to hurt her in the elections? they want a stooge like Tim Farron who's going to roll over and keep us shackled to them. Even the biased media are using the old "Theresa May eating a chip" stunt that worked so well on Milliband.

Agreed, and despite their statements to the contrary having a government with a large majority is going to matter a great deal over the next few years. The more MPs Corbyn and Farron get the happier Jean-Claude Juncker will be.

The Greens aren't liberal or libertarian in their social policies, they are just a different brand of authoritarian to labour, with different reasons and justifications for a large government with plenty of control over behaviour.

I'm going by where political compass has them. Left-Libertarian/Libertarian Socialist. AKA, political nonsense. The idea that people will act for the greater good of society through their own free will.
 
That anti-Corbyn poster... surely it's the RAF and not the army that needs bombs? Aren't bombs typically dropped from above?

Is this why our defence spending is so high under the Conservatives? Are our infantry lugging giant bombs around everywhere?

Actually just the opposite perhaps. There is a school of thought May needs a big majority so she can shut up the looney far right anti EU parts of her party and get a soft Brexit voted through in two years time whereas at the moment a soft brexit deal on the table would never pass the commons as too many Tories would rebel
 
It doesn't matter one jot what happens in the commons last next year, the constitution of the UK parliament is irrelevant.

The 'deal' will be put to the commons, and it will be approved, because the clock is ticking and there is no time to re-negotiate it. The whole thing is a farce.

How are the EU making her repeat "strong and stable" and only participate in highly stage-managed pressers?

Teresa May says something stupid/argumentative, gets reported in the media. How is the EU doing anything.

Jesus this post is utterly sanctimonious, i vote Conservative because overall, taking all tax cuts and raises into account, i have benefited significantly in my take home pay over the years. End of

You've benefitted in take home pay, but unless you're very rich and have extracted your extra cash offshore, or have invested it particularly well, you've been mugged.

Tax cuts get paid for by greater borrowing, inflation and cuts in services. it's economically illiterate to consider them anything but a short term bribe to kick yourself in the balls.

Just think about the tax cuts we got the 80s, a lot of them paid for with North Sea oil, then contrast that with what Norway did.

Wasn't May a remain supporter? I suspect her 'hard woman' words are for the electorate, and she'll roll over just as easily as anyone else when it comes down to it.

I'm with you Greebo. I'm more than prepared to pay more tax if it means quality of life will improve across the board.

Education is the key to solving many of our problems. While the ignorance shown and countlessly demonstrated by the tories and UKIP is not.

Burying your head in the sand doesn't make problems go away. Come on England, see the light and lets get rid of these ******'s once and for all.

Difficult to tell due to pressure put on ministers and Tory MPs by Cameron and Osborne. I suspect she may have been, like many, a reluctant remainer but it is to her credit that she has respected the outcome of the referendum and stepped up to one of the most demanding jobs in the country to deliver the outcome that most benefits the UK.
