It goes to show how utterly insane the claims of Jeremy Corbyn being "weak" are. Strong and stable leadership from the Conservatives? Two disgraced leaders in a year says otherwise. On the other side, Jeremy Corbyn has endured two leadership challenges and the most sustained media smear campaigns in recent memory and is stronger than ever.

I bet if you had made that bet a year or so ago you're u would become very rich. Interesting to see Corbyn is now 5/2 to be PM and Trump 3/1 to be impeached.

Can't say I would - taken to the extreme both ways ends up with most people being **** on and a large degree of mostly arbitrary restrictions placed on our lives. But one is slightly easier to recover from than the other when people finally are pushed into a corner.

I understand the potential issues with a labour government but they are, on paper less likely to kill you. I simply couldn't support snoopers, erosion of human rights, failure to deal with tax avoidance, steath privatisation of the nhs, the naylor report, further police funding cuts and to be brunt Teresa May.

I would have taken anything other than the above.

Nah, honestly all these people calling Marxism yada yada and spewing their rubbish sound like they've read too many far right blogs online that have a hard on against anything socialist (Including universal healthcare). Seriously.... they have some warped mindsets it's scary.

I'd be very careful with that - Corbyn isn't far from a champaign socialist and while that label would be unfair he certain has some tendencies towards the more extreme elements of that but he is relatively innocuous compared to some a little more behind the scenes at the current make up of the Labour party who come from actual Marxist/Communist backgrounds - which is likely to have implications.
 
It's honestly baffling May called this election without a campaigning strategy other than repeating "strong and stable leadership" all the time. Poor effort.

Same....if I look at my friends though, we have very different financial situations... I find it hard to imagine why they would vote Labour, just as they would think the same for why I vote Tory.

The amount of grief I got for not voting Labour..

To be honest both have their positives and the exit poll was extremely surprising, tomorrow could be interesting!
