Poll: Poll: Prime Minister Theresa May calls General Election on June 8th

[McGray]

The vast majority of voters are not attacking anybody, online or otherwise.

 

[FishFluff]

It's got a lot worse this time though, the Corbynites even attack the Blairites for not being left wing enough. Which is a double fail as attacking the left of centre voters means you can end up depending entirely on left wing votes to beat a right of centre opponent who has the benefit of right wing votes and even some of the left of centre voters you alienated.

At least this election there's a greater choice between 'Tory policies' and 'slightly watered down Tory Policies'.

Indeed, some people seem to think the hyperbolic internet is reflective of 'real life'

Labour's "car crash" of a GE campaign now features a real car crash...

A tyre running over a camera man's foot is not a "car crash"

...involving Corbyn's own car. What a beautiful irony.

He said it now features a real car crash, no quotation marks.

Labour to scrap tuition fees.

They just won the election. Congratulate the new pm Mr Corbyn.

 

[nick.lidgett]

LOL The labour manifesto is hilarious, did Diane Abbot do the maths on how we pay for all that before hand?

Yes but its ok because once they raise the tax for high earners and give university for free they will have eleventy pounds left

You know the're less university student voters than non-university student voters right? (Also school level students aren't usually old enough to vote).

yet, one of the things labour want to change is the voting age. Reducing the age to 16.

 

[Tunney]

Love or loathe Labour's draft manifesto, at least they've got people talking about policy rather than this "strong and stable" nonsense.

 

[Efour]

Dunno extra 100000 votes in key places seems worth it to me.

I do not want to be paying for other adults further education. I hate most of these policies other than the cap on the ratio between bottom and top earners at state run organisations.

What Labour don't seem to understand is that a lie has to be believable. If that list didn't suggest that labour were going to need to strike oil in their first few days of office it might have a bit more credibility. As it stands its just insane. Corbyn has plenty of good ideas its just a shame that very few of them are rooted in reality.

Question is where do you draw the line? How is it any different to paying for somebody else's children?

The oil is running out. We're going to start burning unicorn poo - that'll pay for everything.
