I've also never heard before so many people, a good number younger but not exclusively, that say they can't relate to any of the political parties this time around and probably won't vote.

Politics has been getting ball garglingly awful for decades, and a considerable number of people are finally fed up of the taste of scrotum.
 
Justine Greening (she did at least a say a genuine hello when I randomly ran past her this week on my road) is my MP with a majority of >10,000. My vote feels about as useful as Dianne Abbott's self assessment tax form :(. I can't help but feel May is much more of a danger to the interests of others (the poor, immigrants and the vulnerable) and my own (her hard on for an Ajit Pai style Internet).
 
Libdem Tory coallition please.

The Tories are going to get a lot of votes, unfortunately, and without a conscience and a brexit watchdog we are all in trouble!

Charging businesses to pay for the fantasy immigration cap?
No mention of taxation plans?
No costings?

You've got to have a serious crush on May to vote Tory this time.

IMHO

eta - if you do have a crush on May, i've got a stack of old "horse and hounds" you can have, unstained an free to pick up
 
Shame such a large proportion of a community who has taken an absolute shafting from Intel and Nvidia over the years arent able to see similarities in the conservative road map. What you think you're investing in now will seem irrelevant in 6-8 months time.

I am pretty much here too, certainly won't be voting Tory for the first time ever.

May's manifesto and current ideology comes across like something you would expect from combining Thatcher, Putin, H Clinton, Trump and Kim Jong-un.

Whose combined death rate don't come close to the Stalin, Mao, Lenin and so on that inspire corbyn and McDonnell...

Pre manifesto yes but the changes to the winter fuel allowance and social care means testing have put it right in the firing line.

No, what makes the conversation go nowhere is poor attempts at point scoring and intentionally misconstruing something I said in a thread last year (!)... you also knew my point was that in future the erosion of freedom of speech was more a threat than ISIS. None of the above adds any weight or has any relevance to any argument about today's political issues.

You just sound bitter and resentful. Why aren't you focusing this negativity at the Labour leader, who has essentially ruined any chance of his party having any credible meaning in the next few years :(

Because people with zero interest in defending through a reasoned argument the person/direction they are advocating don't actually deserve more.

Frankly the Corbyn is a Doodie head argument is irrelevant, I've outlined a collection of disastrous mis steps in handling Brexit alone, by this current government and May specifically, one of which includes the General Election being called 2 minutes after enacting Article 50. Not once have you attempted to discuss this, your entire argument appears based on your opinion that "Corbyn is Rubbish". At least those who disagreed earlier, that inward investment ala post WWII keynsian Governments could be a way forward attempted a reasoned argument that went beyond disliking Corbyn personally.

As for the "Safe Spaces" debacle, yes the massive problem of some universities having some stupid policies (and even the direction that could take), is far worse than the regular deaths of people at the hands of Terrorists (mostly nationalist terror in Europe, if Interpol are correct).
 
The amount of votes for conservatives in this poll makes me sad.

Can a mod reset it now the Tories have released their manifesto, see if peoples opinions have changed?

I really think that would be a better option than 'people can just change their vote'
How anyone could have voted before seeing a manifesto is weird anyway.

Please highlight where I stated "Corbyn is a doodie head". Your continued eagerness to belittle people of differing viewpoints just compounds that you sound bitter and resentful.

I wonder what the melt down will look like here post 8th June.

PS, do you look over your shoulder every living moment in fear of the boogie man terrorist getting you? You've made lots of posts about snoopers charter and freedom of speech though, you seem to have more concern for that than say a terrorist.

You're going to get bummed either way, so you might as well vote for the person who might actually handle brexit with some kind of consideration for finance as opposed to the lunatic who thinks the world can run on fairy dust and unicorn farts.

You are right, there is no doodie head in the above insightful wisdom regarding the relative merits of austerity versus post war style Keynsian economic approaches to the UK economy.

1. Melt down? I've been politically aware from the 80s onwards, that there is even a non red tory option on the ballot is pushing back 20 years.
2. No I don't look over my shoulder for terror, the last event I was personally involved in was cleaning up Dixon's after the IRA exploded a fly over near Brent cross and I wouldn't say we lived in fear back then, I'm just even less concerned about De Montfort's policy on blah blah blah. Safe spaces were definitely not an issue for my Business Planning and Competitive Strategy Professor in 2005 and during teacher training and practice I didn't come across anything of the sort, perhaps you have some insight into how the issue is going to out rank nutters with bombs etc?
